Hopin was built for virtual events. If you're running in-person conferences, there's a better way.
RingCentral Events (formerly Hopin) is sold as monthly subscription plans. SwarmTix has no monthly fee for in-person events and is pay-per-ticket with no minimums. Perfect for small teams and indie organizers.
Hopin requires weeks of sales calls and demos. SwarmTix lets you start selling tickets in 5 minutes with no sales process.
Hopin was built for virtual events during COVID. If you're primarily in-person, you're paying for features you don't need.
Hopin's virtual venue, expo halls, and networking rooms are overkill for most events. SwarmTix focuses on what you actually need.
Hopin was acquired by RingCentral. Product direction and pricing may change. SwarmTix is stable and focused on conference organizers.
Hopin requires dedicated staff to operate. SwarmTix is intuitive - create your first event in 5 minutes without training.
Enterprise features without enterprise complexity or pricing.
Yes, for online events. SwarmTix integrates with Zoom, YouTube, and Vimeo on the Virtual plans, and runs in-person events as separate events (there is no single hybrid event type). The difference is we use tools you already know instead of a proprietary virtual platform.
SwarmTix handles ticketing, agendas, and access control. For live streaming, use Zoom, YouTube, or Vimeo - tools your attendees already know. No learning curve for anyone.
Correct. In-person events are pay-per-ticket: $0.99 + 1.5% per paid ticket, no monthly fee. Online events run on the Virtual plans (from $28/month billed yearly, 14-day free trial). No annual contract, cancel anytime.
Absolutely. Export your attendee list from Hopin, and you can import contacts to SwarmTix. Our team can help with migration if needed.
For in-person events, networking happens naturally. For virtual sessions, Zoom's breakout rooms work great. You don't need a complex virtual venue for most conferences.
