Common Questions About Switching

How is SwarmTix different from vFairs?

vFairs is built for virtual career fairs and expos with 3D environments and virtual booths. SwarmTix is built for in-person tech conferences with multi-track agendas and speaker management.

How does SwarmTix pricing compare to vFairs?

vFairs does not publish prices; you request a quote. SwarmTix is $0.99 + 1.5% per paid ticket, so a 500-person conference at $100/ticket costs about $1,245 with SwarmTix.

Does SwarmTix have virtual booths?
