The short version

  • Only Guest Manager has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: EventPro the pricing page publishes no figures and states cost depends on optional modules, the number of users and rooms at the customer's facility, and software training, all resolved through an account consultant assessment rather than a rate card; Guest Manager usage is metered in credits consumed by check ins, emails and badges, so cost scales with activity rather than with the subscription alone
  • They diverge on capability: EventPro covers Event scheduling, Guest Manager covers Registration.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.
