event67 vs Whova
The one-sentence difference: event67 is a branded conference app with published per-attendee pricing and a per-event cap, and Whova is a full event-management suite whose attendee experience runs inside one shared app under Whova's own store listing.

Where the two products actually diverge
Whova (Whova is a trademark of Whova Inc.) and event67 overlap almost completely on what happens in the room. Schedule, personal agenda, attendee directory, networking, live Q&A, polls, announcements: both have them, and a delegate would struggle to tell you which product they were in from those features alone.
They diverge on two axes that have nothing to do with the session screen. The first is scope. Whova's published surface covers registration and ticketing with payments, onsite badges and check-in, surveys and certificates, hybrid and virtual events with live streams, abstract management, an event website builder and exhibitor and sponsor management with lead retrieval (whova.com, accessed 3 September 2026). event67 covers the app and the organiser console and stops there. The second is packaging: whose name is on the app, and whether the price is on a page.
That makes this an unusual comparison, because the honest answer for a large share of readers is that these are not substitutes. If you need one vendor for registration through certificates, this page ends here and Whova is your shortlist. If you already have registration solved and you are buying the in-room experience, keep reading — that is the segment where the two genuinely compete.
Side by side, with a source on every row
Everything in the Whova column comes from a page we loaded ourselves. The superscript on a cell is its source: it links to that page and the date it was loaded, in the Sources section below. Nothing is inferred, and a row we could not source is removed rather than softened. Whova may change its pricing at any time; check Whova's pricing page for current figures.
| Row | event67 | Whova |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Per activated attendee on a single event. An attendee is activated only when they claim their invite and open the app. | quote-based — not publishedsource 1 |
| Published price points | $5 per activated attendee beyond the first 50, and one event never costs more than $4,750. Published at event67.com/pricing. | As at 3 September 2026, Whova does not publish list pricing and directs buyers to request a quote.source 1 |
| Free tier | One live event, up to 50 activated attendees, with the whole feature set, the full branded theme and bulk invites. No card and no trial clock. | No free version. Whova's pricing page offers 'Book a 20 min 1:1 demo to get a trial' — i.e. the trial is gated behind a sales demo rather than self-serve.

| Branded app in the organizer's own store listing | Standard on every event, including the free one. Published to the App Store and Google Play under the client's own listing. | Whova explicitly does NOT offer a white-label app with its own App Store listing. It states it has 'focused solely on creating and improving a reliable universal event app' and argues against white-label on download-rate and Apple-policy grounds.source 4 |
| Published set-up or lead time | Not published. event67 states no lead-time figure, because store review time varies; a date is given against a specific event date instead. | Not published on the pages recorded in the source list.source 4 |
| Core attendee features, as published by the vendor | Live schedule with a personal agenda, workshop RSVPs with server-side capacity and waitlists, attendee directory, QR attendee-to-attendee connections, live Q&A, polls, reactions, session feedback, shared photo album with moderation, tier-ordered sponsor pages, smart and scheduled push, Apple Wallet pass. | Event app with personalized agenda and attendee networking.

| Scope the vendor publishes | Attendee app and organizer console only. No registration, ticketing or payment collection, no badge printing, no exhibitor lead retrieval, no maps, no streaming, no abstract management. Organizer console: Events, sessions, speakers and sponsors; bulk CSV invites with per-recipient delivery tracking; QR check-in and live arrivals; approvals for photos and Q&A; announcements; admin chat with an audit trail; email campaigns, templates, forms and tracked links; engagement analytics; theme editor with a WCAG AA contrast advisory; owner self-serve accounts and Stripe billing. | full-suite event management.

event67 meters activated attendees on a single event. Whova's published model is quote-based — not published. The two are not the same unit, so the figures are not directly comparable.
Every event67 figure on this page is generated at build time from event67's own pricing library rather than typed into the page, so the page and the meter cannot disagree. event67 publishes no performance, capacity or throughput measurement on this page, and makes no comparative measurement of any other product.

The same room, priced on each side
Both sides sized to the same 800-person room. On the left, what that costs on event67, computed from our own pricing library rather than typed into this page. On the right, only what Whova publishes itself.

Whova
No seat field on this side, and no total. Working out what Whova would charge for this room would mean estimating a number they have not published, and an estimate presented as a comparison is exactly the claim we will not make. What follows is only what Whova states itself.
- As at 3 September 2026, Whova does not publish list pricing and directs buyers to request a quote.
Whova's own pricing page carries the current figures.

Where Whova is the better choice
- You want registration, ticketing and payment collection from the same vendor as the app. Whova publishes all three; event67 has none of them.
- You need onsite badge printing, check-in hardware or attendee certificates. event67 has no printer or kiosk integration of any kind.
- Your event is virtual or hybrid and the streamed programme is the main draw. Whova carries live streams; event67 has no streaming at all.
- You run a call for papers or abstract review. Whova publishes abstract management; event67 has no submission workflow and no speaker portal.
- Attendee familiarity matters more to you than a store listing of your own. Whova's iOS listing shows 247,787 ratings (Apple, accessed 3 September 2026), so many delegates already have it installed.
That is a substantial list and we would rather you read it here than discover it in week three. Four of those five are hard exclusions in event67, not roadmap items.
Where event67 is the better choice
- The app must carry your organisation's name in the App Store and Google Play. event67 publishes under the client's own listing; Whova's published position is that it does not offer a white-label app with its own store listing.
- You need a number before a sales call. event67's rate and its per-event ceiling are on the pricing page; Whova's pricing page is a quote request form (accessed 3 September 2026).
- You want to try the product on a real event first. event67 is free for one live event up to 50 activated attendees, no card; Whova has no free version and gates its trial behind a booked demo (accessed 3 September 2026).
- You want the meter tied to people who actually turned up. event67 bills only attendees who claimed the invite and opened the app, and charges 48 hours after the event ends.
- You want a hard ceiling on what one event can cost. event67 stops at $4,750 per event however large the room.
If you are switching, this is the shape of it
Export the attendee list, import it by CSV, rebuild the agenda in the console, set the theme, send invites. The console's live meter shows activated attendees from the day the event is published, so you watch the bill accrue rather than receive it.
The part that needs planning is the install. Moving from a shared container app to a branded one means every attendee downloads something new, and the invite email, the Wallet pass and the on-site signage all have to point at it. Budget a communications pass for that. Everything else in the migration is data entry.

Questions people actually ask
Is event67 a replacement for Whova?
Only for part of it. event67 replaces the attendee app and the organiser console around it. It does not replace registration and ticketing, badge printing, abstract management, the event website builder or streaming, all of which Whova publishes on its own site (accessed 3 September 2026). Organisers who move typically keep registration where it already is and import the list.
Which one is cheaper?
We cannot answer that, and any page that does is guessing. event67's price is published: free to 50 activated attendees, $5 each after that, capped at $4,750 per event. Whova publishes no figure at all as at 3 September 2026, so there is nothing to compare it against. Ask Whova for a quote and put our number next to it yourself.
Do both products give attendees a personal agenda?
Yes. Both publish a schedule with a personal agenda, attendee networking, live Q&A and polls. In event67 the personal agenda is 'My Picks', which pins starred sessions to the top of the attendee's own day, and workshop RSVPs enforce capacity server-side with automatic waitlist promotion.
What about Apple Wallet passes?
event67 issues an Apple Wallet pass from the event record and refreshes it from the backend while the event runs, alongside an iOS Live Activity driven by the same dispatcher. Wallet passes require a signing certificate, so the feature is available rather than always on. We make no claim about Whova here; nothing on Whova's published pages that we accessed on 3 September 2026 addresses wallet passes either way.
Which is better for a first-time organiser?
That is a judgement, so treat it as ours. We think a first-time organiser is better served by a product they can start on for free and price without a call, which is the case we have built event67 around. An organiser who needs registration, badges and the app in one contract will have a worse first event on event67 than on a suite, however easy our console is.
