Typical annual pricing for a professional event app. Enterprise platforms require a sales call and rarely show you the number until you're deep in their funnel.
Clean, intuitive interface. Works offline. Updates in real time. No 30-minute onboarding tutorial required.
Hand-picked from 333 verified reviews on G2 and Capterra. Genevieve switched from Cvent. Phil runs enterprise conferences. Aurie runs a small board.
"Yapp outshines Cvent. Easy to learn, use, and customize. I use Cvent for another event and Yapp is superior in 80% of ways, at a fraction of the cost. Two years left on our Cvent contract. Once it ends, we plan to switch all our meeting apps to Yapp."
"Economical and versatile. Setting up a Yapp can be done by non-technical admin staff. We host conferences with thousands of attendees and use the template to publish personalized agendas with map links directly inside Yapp."
"Yapp does the job at a reasonable price. We're a small board and worried about how much time setup would take. It was just a couple of hours. Attendees loved sharing thoughts and pictures in real time."
If the question on your mind is "why is this so much cheaper than Cvent?" here's the honest answer: it's not because Yapp does less. It's because we built the company differently.
A common complaint on Cvent and Whova reviews: support takes days, and you talk to a chatbot first. Yapp doesn't work that way.
No AI chatbots. No tier-1 deflection. No ticket queues that go to a different time zone. Every Yapp customer gets responsive human support included on every plan, from $399 to $799.
