event67 vs Yapp
The one-line difference: Yapp licenses an app by the year with unlimited installs, opened inside its shared container app, and event67 publishes a separate app under the organiser's own name and bills per activated attendee for each event. The feature comparison is close. The pricing comparison depends on your calendar and your room size, and it does not always favour us.

The two things that actually separate them
Yapp (Yapp is a trademark of Yapp, Inc.) and event67 overlap more than most pairs in this programme. Both publish interactive schedules, speaker bios, push notifications, attendee networking and live polls (yapp.us, accessed 3 September 2026). A delegate looking at a schedule screen would not be able to tell you which product they were in.
The first real difference is whose name is on the store listing. Yapp's model is a shared container: attendees install the Yapp app, published by Yapp, Inc., and open the specific event inside it (Apple's App Store listing for Yapp, accessed 3 September 2026), and Yapp's pricing page lists no white-label or custom-listing option. event67 publishes a separate app in the App Store and Google Play under the client's own name. Neither approach is inherently correct: one gives you your own listing, and the other gives your delegates something they may already have installed.
The second difference is the meter, and this is the one worth doing arithmetic on. Yapp charges a flat annual price per app with unlimited installs on paid plans and volume discounts across several apps, including up to a year of hosting per app (yapp.us pricing page, accessed 3 September 2026). event67 charges nothing for the first fifty activated attendees of an event and then meters each one, with a ceiling on any single event and no annual commitment at all.
On our own calculation of 3 September 2026, setting event67's published curve against Yapp's published annual price for one app, a single event crosses over at roughly 130 activated attendees — under it we cost less, over it they do. Across a year the comparison tilts further, because one annual licence covers a whole programme and our meter starts again at every event. An organiser running four events a year will pay Yapp less than they pay us. We would rather state that in the first section of a comparison page than let a reader discover it in a spreadsheet.
Side by side, with a source on every row
Everything in the Yapp 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. Yapp may change its pricing at any time; check Yapp's pricing page for current figures.

event67 meters activated attendees on a single event. Yapp's published model is published flat annual price per app, with volume discounts. 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 meters measured against the same 220-person conference. 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 Yapp publishes itself.

Yapp
No seat field on this side, and no total. Working out what Yapp 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 Yapp states itself.
- As published on Yapp's pricing page on 3 September 2026, Basic is listed at $399/year.
- As published on Yapp's pricing page on 3 September 2026, Core is listed at $649/year.
- As published on Yapp's pricing page on 3 September 2026, Team is listed at $799/year.
- As published on Yapp's pricing page on 3 September 2026, Volume pricing at 10 apps is listed at Basic $399, Core $399, Team $499.

event67 meters activated attendees on a single event. Yapp's published model is published flat annual price per app, with volume discounts. The two are not the same unit, so the figures are not directly comparable.
Where Yapp is the right choice
- You run several events a year. One annual per-app licence covers the year; event67 meters each event separately, so a multi-event programme costs less on Yapp.
- Your single event is large. Above roughly 130 activated attendees, on our own 3 September 2026 calculation, a Yapp annual licence costs less than an event67 event, and the gap grows with attendance.
- You want a portfolio of small apps. Yapp publishes volume discounts that reduce the per-app price as you buy more.
- Your delegates need maps. Yapp publishes maps; event67 has no venue maps, floor plans or wayfinding of any kind.
- You want a trial without a card. Yapp publishes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
- Attendee familiarity matters more than your own listing. Delegates who have used the shared app at another event already have it installed.
Two of those are arithmetic and one is a hard exclusion on our side. This is the most evenly matched comparison in our programme, and any page that made it look one-sided would be doing the reader a disservice.
Where event67 is the right choice
- The listing must carry your organisation's name. event67 publishes under the client's own App Store and Google Play listing; Yapp's pricing page lists no white-label or custom-listing option.
- You run one event a year and it is modest in size. Under roughly 130 activated attendees, on our own 3 September 2026 calculation, one event67 event costs less than an annual licence.
- You want to start on a real event at no cost. A single live event of up to 50 activated attendees, everything switched on, no card and nothing counting down.
- You need moderation. Live Q&A and photos pass through an approvals queue, and the album auto-hides anything an attendee reports.
- You want a deeper engagement stack. Reactions, session feedback and ratings, a shared photo album, Apple Wallet passes, admin team chat and live engagement analytics are all in the base product.
- You want organiser comms in the same console. Email campaigns and templates, attendee forms and branded tracked links sit alongside the app.
The first item is the whole argument for a branded app, and it costs something real: every attendee installs something new, every time. If your delegates value the convenience of an app they already have more than you value the listing, that trade goes the other way and it should.
If you move, here is the honest sequence
Do the arithmetic before the work: count your events for the next twelve months and the attendance of each, and compare both meters honestly. If the answer is several events, or one big one, stop — the annual licence wins and there is nothing else to weigh.
If the answer still points here, the move itself is ordinary. Export the attendee list, import by CSV, rebuild sessions, tracks, rooms, speakers, sponsors and workshop capacities in the console, set the theme against the WCAG AA advisory, send bulk invites with per-recipient delivery tracking, and watch activation in the console from publication rather than waiting for a bill.
The hard part is the install. Moving from a shared container to a branded app means a fresh download for every delegate, including the ones who were pleased not to need one. Point the invite email, the Wallet pass and the on-site signage at the new listing, and staff the registration desk on the first morning for the people who missed all three.

Activated means the person claimed their invite and opened the app. Not when you import them, not when the invite is delivered, and not if they register and stay home.
Questions people actually ask
Which one is cheaper?
It depends on two numbers: how many people come, and how many events you run. For one event the crossover is around 130 activated attendees on our own 3 September 2026 calculation of event67's published curve against Yapp's published annual price for a single app. Below it we cost less; above it Yapp does. Across a year of several events, Yapp is cheaper, because its licence is annual and our meter restarts each event.
Do attendees download our app or a shared one?
On event67, yours: the app is published under the client's own name in the App Store and Google Play. On the other side, attendees install the shared Yapp app published by Yapp, Inc. and open the specific event inside it (Apple's App Store listing for Yapp, accessed 3 September 2026), and its iOS listing shows 100 ratings as at that date. Whether a separate listing is worth a fresh install is a judgement, and it is yours to make.
Are the feature sets comparable?
Closely, with gaps on both sides. Yapp publishes a no-code editor with template pages, interactive schedules, speaker bios, push notifications, maps, attendee networking, live polls and an in-app social feed (yapp.us, accessed 3 September 2026). event67 adds moderated live Q&A, crowd reactions, session feedback and ratings, a shared photo album with moderation modes, Apple Wallet passes, admin team chat and live engagement analytics — and has no maps at all.
What happens if far more people show up than expected?
On event67 the meter runs to 1,000 activated attendees and then stops; every attendee beyond that costs nothing, so the ceiling for one event is $4,750 whatever the room does. On the other side, paid plans include unlimited installs, so attendance does not change the price at all (yapp.us pricing page, accessed 3 September 2026). Both models protect you from a surprise; they simply do it at different price points.
Which suits a volunteer-run event?
This one is a judgement call and it is ours, not a finding. A volunteer committee running one modest annual event is well served by either, and the deciding factors are usually the store listing and the maps rather than the features. If nobody on the committee will chase two hundred people to install something new, the shared-app model removes that job entirely, and we would rather say so than win an argument that costs you your first morning.
