Where Eventier falls short
- Cvent reaches a large network with one request. Eventier writes to the venues you pick, one email each.
- Sending isn’t free: an Event Pass is A$11.99 for an event, or Eventier Pro A$39.99 a year.
- Its own venue list is deepest in Perth. Elsewhere it searches venues’ websites live, so a search takes a few minutes, and it has been tested most on Australian events.
- It never books or takes payment: the contract and the deposit are between you and the venue.
- It writes emails. It doesn’t phone venues.
