Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CVent Events

  • Pricing is by quote only: the pricing page publishes no rate, no minimum and no per seat cost and routes buyers to sales
  • The Professional tier includes 15 user logins; unlimited logins require Enterprise
  • Professional licenses individual solutions such as Registration, Attendee Hub and OnArrival separately rather than bundling them
  • Bundled access to all solutions requires the Enterprise tier

MyRec.com

  • The annual fee scales with department revenue, so a successful department pays more for the same software as its programme income grows.
  • It is built for small and mid-sized departments and lacks the permitting, aquatics and multi-facility depth a large city requires.
  • Credit card processing is explicitly excluded from the fee, so the total cost depends on a merchant agreement the department must source and negotiate itself.
  • Integration surface is thin, with no meaningful connection to municipal ERP or finance systems, meaning revenue reconciliation is a manual export.
  • The vendor is small, so there is limited third-party consulting capacity and a narrow bench for support during peak registration periods.
