Event management may be a challenging task, but they are also crucial for communities and organizations. Luckily, there are software that can help you to automate the struggling, repetitive tasks such as promoting your events or securely collecting ticket fees which makes the process of managing your events a smooth and fast one. Hopin and Raklet are two examples of such software. Let’s see how Hopin compares to our all-in-one solution, Raklet.
Hopin is an event management software that was founded in 2019. Since then, they have been helping organizations to create, host and manage live events for up to 100,000 attendees. And surely, they are one of the good options for event management solutions but there are other solutions out there that can be a better match to your organization and its needs. So, let’s see exactly what Hopin has to offer and what they lack.
As you can see from their Capterra page, Hopin offers a variety of features to provide you a smoother event management process. Let’s look at some of them in more detail so that you can get a clearer idea.
Virtual Lobby: Regardless of the size of your event, Hopin offers a virtual lobby to make your attendees’ experience of your event delightful and as easy as possible. Through the reception page, they will be able to see your event schedule and attend sessions. And through the event stages, you will be able to stream and screen share your presentations. They also have a tool for breaking out your attendees into live sessions with full moderator capabilities for owners and multiple speakers as well.
Event Marketing: Hopin offers you tools to promote your events, such as Hopin Canvas. Hopin Canvas provides you features like a customizable layout, modular blocks and custom domains, so that you can create your event page in a fast way. After you have created your event page, you can also resend tickets, create promo codes, issue refunds and change ticket information from your dashboard along with managing waitlists.
Onsite Event Management: For onsite management, Hopin offers features such as badge printing to eliminate the stress and errors of pre-printing. There are also tools to control access to sessions and allow attendees to create their own schedules as well. And when the event is over, attendees will automatically be issued their certificates.
Hopin offers 4 different pricing plans, including a free version. Their paid packages start with $99 per month and grow from there. Unfortunately they don’t share pricing information on their advanced plans so in order to find out about them,you need to contact the Hopin team. However, they provide a free trial to help organizations to decide whether Hopin is the right software for them.
Their starter package includes features such as email/chat support and unlimited events up to 3 days length. Their most comprehensive package, Advanced, provides a customizable event length and more advanced event services. As for what their users think, in general, they believe their competitive pricing is why they chose Hopin in the first place.
Hopin provides an overall good experience to their customers and that’s why they have a 4.5/5 rating from Capterra. Their ratings for customer service are relatively low compared to their overall ratings. That’s because some of their users believe that when a problem occurs, the customer service team is slow to respond and offer solutions. Let’s see in more detail what their customers think Hopin has to offer and what it lacks:
