RunCue vs Cvent: event delivery or a wider event programme?
Cvent covers registration, attendees and sourcing across an event programme. RunCue focuses on the shared plan your team uses to deliver each event.
Where Cvent is strong
Cvent offers Registration, Attendee Hub and OnArrival, with venue sourcing and other options. Its platform pricing page requests a quote. A separate registration trial offers pay-as-you-go in supported countries.
Best fit: Teams buying registration, attendee engagement, onsite services or venue sourcing across an event programme.
Where RunCue fits
RunCue is for teams coordinating tasks, guests, vendors, budgets and the run of show. Start with a self-serve trial and choose a plan by active events and workspace members.
Best fit: Planners who need an owned plan, a current budget and a schedule the team can run live.
| Area | Cvent | RunCue |
|---|---|---|
| Primary scope | Registration, attendee engagement, onsite check-in and sourcing options. | Brief, tasks, vendors, guest list, seating, budget, Run of Show and closeout. |
| Getting started | Platform quote or a registration trial, depending on your needs. | Self-serve trial without a payment card; Free remains available afterwards. |
| Pricing | Platform prices require a quote. Registration pay-as-you-go uses a per-registration fee plus revenue share, disclosed before launch. | Published monthly subscription by active event and member capacity. See current verified prices below. |
| When to keep it | When you need its sourcing, attendee or onsite capabilities. | Not a venue-sourcing marketplace or a replacement for every attendee platform. Use it for the planning and delivery work it covers. |
