The virtual and hybrid events pricing landscape is like the wild west. With pricing ranging from the simple to the overly complex with many moving parts. In this article we’re going to look at Hopin pricing and how it stacks up to running an event on intelligo.
We’re going to use a real world event scenario to give you an accurate idea of how the prices can stack up and where hidden costs (even if they’re transparent!) can actually sneak in.
Hopin pricing is actually some of the easiest to understand and we applaud them for that. However, to access premium features you have to pay a hefty annual fee (or two to access the top tier!).
The Event Spec
A successful conference organiser with a captive audience was looking to trial a new niche conference. The beauty of virtual events and their lower cost is that you can create much more specific verticals and still reach a large, engaged audience. However, you’re already sold on virtual events, that’s why you’re reading this article!
They used their existing database and a marketing campaign to secure 1,550 registrations on the platform. They usually expect around a 50% attendance vs. registration due to their marketing mix and sector. They had 708 unique visitors over the event, so nearly exactly on target and a great result for a brand new event launch. They utilised 6 admin seats and 60 moderators.
So to summarise, 1,550 registrations and 708 unique attendees on the day.
They have a strong suite of partners with 1 headline and 7 supporting. There are sponsored sessions and breakouts throughout the event to drive great content and sponsor engagement. This means there are a total of 60 sponsor representatives on site.
