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

Panopto

  • No price list is published, and the vendor states there are no tiers at all
  • Cost depends on user count, integrations, add ons and deployment model, so several negotiated variables set the figure
  • Four capabilities are separately priced add ons on top of any quote
  • Every route to a figure is a demo or a conversation with sales
