Keep Bizzabo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Bizzabo you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 34 of the 45 other event ticketing platforms grade higher. It costs $5,988 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Marketo and Salesforce among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Bizzabo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
