The short version

Only Hopin has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Hopin platform complexity with feature breadth that results in no single feature being particularly strong compared to specialized competitors; Remo remo's key assets were acquired by Events.com in January 2025, and Events.com was simultaneously pursuing a public listing through a SPAC merger, so multi-year commitments depend on a roadmap set inside a company in the middle of a corporate transaction.
They diverge on capability: Hopin covers Virtual stages, Remo covers Table floor plans.

Hard registration caps with additional charges if events exceed 100 registrations
Post-acquisition delays with slow account activation taking up to 45 days and slow responses to onboarding questions
High pricing particularly problematic for organizations running occasional or simple webinars
No Facebook or YouTube live streaming integration and limited caption support for accessibility

Remo

Remo's key assets were acquired by Events.com in January 2025, and Events.com was simultaneously pursuing a public listing through a SPAC merger, so multi-year commitments depend on a roadmap set inside a company in the middle of a corporate transaction.
Pricing is banded by attendees per event rather than by total attendees, so an organisation running one large annual conference and many small ones pays for the peak all year unless it buys the separate one-time event product.
The browser-only, video-heavy floor model is demanding on bandwidth and hardware, and attendees on corporate networks, older laptops or restricted browsers get degraded experiences that the organiser gets blamed for.
Recordings are stored for only thirty days, so any organiser wanting an on-demand library from an event has to export and host the content somewhere else.
The spatial interface needs explaining, and events with older or less technical audiences routinely lose the first fifteen minutes to attendees who cannot find how to sit at a table, which is why organisers end up running rehearsal sessions the budget did not include.
