The options

What people compare Swoogo with

Swoogo Professional starts at US$11,800 a year for one full user and one reporting user, excluding applicable sales tax. If that recurring licence does not fit how your team works, you may want an alternative that keeps your records in a database you own and follows your event rules.

How to choose

How to choose a Swoogo alternative

  1. 1

    Check what drives the bill

    Swoogo's published starting price covers one full user and one reporting user. Compare your actual recurring licence and separately offered upgrades with the custom option's setup fee and monthly retainer. Enterprise DNA does not charge per seat. The free version has no licence fee, though hosting and assistant costs remain.

  2. 2

    Keep your records yours

    Swoogo documents registrant CSV export and publishes its data fields. The owned option keeps your records in a database you own. Before switching, agree which information moves, how it is checked and who can access it, so you can reconcile the result.

  3. 3

    Fit your fields and rules

    Check whether the system can use the fields and review rules your team actually follows. Enterprise DNA builds a version around your business, and you can change its fields and review rules as your work changes. Privacy checks flag items for an operator to assess, not a promise of compliance.

  4. 4

    Plan the switch carefully

    A switch starts with an export of registration records and a test run. Sessions, speakers, sponsor commitments and past check-ins need separate mapping and reconciliation. Include those records in the agreed setup scope, then rehearse the events you need to run before you move across.

The option that fits

Own the event system your business needs

Enterprise DNA builds your own version of Event Operations around how you run events, using the same records in a database you own. It brings your Swoogo data across and runs the custom system for you. You can also run the free version yourself. The custom service is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans. Choose this when your fields, rules and working practices should fit your business.

Questions

Swoogo alternatives, answered

What will I pay for Swoogo? expand_more

Swoogo Professional starts at US$11,800 a year for one full user and one reporting user, excluding applicable sales tax. That is a published starting subscription, not a verified invoice for your account. Compare your own bill and any separately offered upgrades before deciding.

Can I move our registration records across? expand_more

Yes. You can export an event to a registration CSV and test the import first. Sessions, speakers, sponsor commitments and historical check-ins need separate mapping and reconciliation. Enterprise DNA handles that as part of the agreed setup.

Will the owned option follow our event rules? expand_more

Enterprise DNA adapts fields, review rules, access controls and retention reviews to your business and jurisdiction. Checks can flag missing records and reviews that are due, but an operator still needs to assess the evidence and which rules apply.

How is the owned option charged? expand_more

Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer for the agreed ongoing work. You can run the free version yourself with no licence fee. Hosting and the assistant you use have their own costs.
