the EventMobi alternative you can build before the demo

[ push bulletins with no app store, booths sold from the map ]

EventMobi and studio want the same customer: the team running one event, or a handful, that needs a website, an attendee app and registration without an enterprise contract. the differences are in how you start, what the app can do without a store, and how much of the event one checkout can sell.

studio is the right call if …

  • you want to build the real event before anybody schedules a demo
  • you want push bulletins on every phone without an app store
  • you sell booths, banquet seats or hotel nights with the ticket
  • you charge members less and want the roster to enforce it

EventMobi still makes sense if …

  • you want your own native or white-label app in the stores6
  • you run virtual events as well as in-person ones19
  • you want to rent wireless badge printers for the door20

questions people ask

does the studio app send push notifications without a download?

yes. attendees open the app from a link or QR code and save it to the home screen, and your bulletins reach the lock screen. no app store, no weeks of review.

can exhibitors buy a booth on a floor plan?

in studio, yes. draw the hall to scale once, and exhibitors pick a booth on the live map during registration, held for fifteen minutes while they pay in the same cart.

can I try studio without a demo?

yes. sign up and build the whole event free: site, app, registration and test orders. nothing expires while you decide, and you pay only when you publish.

build it before you decide

building in studio is free and nothing expires. put your real EventMobi event in it, share the private review link with your committee, and pay only if you publish.
