You looked at a B2B event marketing platform because it promises the full operations stack — registration, a website builder, email campaigns, a mobile app, onsite check-in, badges, sponsors, analytics, and virtual delivery. It's genuinely capable. But the pricing model tells you who it's really for: a per-user plan with a minimum number of seats, billed annually, aimed at large event marketing teams. If you're a smaller team running a strong program, you end up committing to seats you won't fill and a yearly contract before your first event goes live.
The mismatch smaller teams feel
The tool isn't the problem — the shape of the deal is. First, seat minimums: pricing built around a required number of users assumes an org bigger than yours, so you pay for empty seats. Second, annual commitment: a year-long contract is a big first step when you want to prove the platform on one event. Third, enterprise-team assumptions: the workflows presume a dedicated event marketing function, so a lean team carries process weight designed for a larger one. You want the operational core — register, brand, program, check in, report — without the enterprise packaging around it.
An alternative that charges for what you use
Geiger Events delivers the parts of the stack a serious event actually depends on, priced in the open and sized for the team you have — not a seat count you're asked to hit.
Registration and branded pages
Stand up registration and a page that carries your brand, not a template's, with the ticketing and payments flow behind it — tiers, early-bird windows, and discount codes included, with free RSVPs and paid registration on the same path. Payments run on Stripe, the rails you already trust.
Agenda and sponsors
Program your sessions and speakers with the agenda builder and speaker pages, and give partners real estate with sponsor and exhibitor pages — the two surfaces a B2B event lives on, without buying a marketing suite to reach them.
Check-in and analytics
Run the door with the check-in app — QR scanning, offline-capable, live attendance — and watch registration, attendance, and check-in numbers in one organizer dashboard. That's the reporting that proves the event worked, without an enterprise analytics module you'll only half use.
Pricing sized to your team, not a seat count
The core difference is who the price is built for. Instead of a per-user plan with a seat minimum billed annually, our current pricing is published plainly on the pricing page, so a small team pays for what it runs. Compare it against the enterprise platform's own published plans — we'd rather you see both side by side than trust a claim. For a team that doesn't need enterprise seats, transparent pricing that scales down usually wins.
When the enterprise platform fits better
In fairness: if you're a large event marketing organization running many concurrent programs with a dedicated team, a platform built around unlimited events and enterprise onsite tooling — including smart-badge hardware — is designed for exactly that scale, and the seat model reflects it. Geiger Events is the alternative for the team a size or two down: capable enough for branded registration, agenda, sponsors, check-in, and analytics, without an enterprise seat minimum. As your program grows, our conference event software grows with it.
What changes when the price fits
You commit to an event, not a year of empty seats. You keep the operational core — registration, branded pages, agenda, sponsors, check-in, analytics — and drop the enterprise packaging you were subsidizing. And a lean team runs a program that looks every bit as polished, on pricing it can actually read before signing. The full B2B suite is impressive; for most teams, paying only for what they use is the better deal.
Built for teams that want registration, branded pages, agenda, sponsors, check-in, and analytics — without an enterprise seat minimum or an annual contract to get started.
