Swoogo vs. Stova

Stova limits your events. Swoogo lets you dream bigger.

Clunky tools and rigid logic make it hard to get creative—and even harder to create standout experiences. Swoogo gives you the freedom to design events exactly how you imagine them, with tools that adapt to your ideas, not the other way around.

Event pros prefer Swoogo vs. Stova—here’s why:

Both platforms offer event management tools, but Stova’s limitations make it harder to deliver modern, personalized events. Swoogo gives you unlimited flexibility, flat pricing, and a seamless build experience—so you can focus on the event, not the workarounds.

“After migrating from another highly rated event management software, I assumed Swoogo would be equivalent. Wrong. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Registration? Superior. Session check-in? Better. Seating charts? Integrated and fantastic. And customer service? Responsive and knowledgeable. With Swoogo’s pricing model, for the first time we’re able to run all events—paid and free—on a single platform. Bringing Swoogo to our organization is one of the best business decisions I’ve made in my career.

Tailored experiences without limits

Stova caps customization. Swoogo unlocks it.

  • Stova’s conditional logic is capped at 2 levels and has no conditional pricing.
  • Swoogo’s unlimited conditional logic lets you personalize registration, pricing, and agendas for every attendee type.
  • Build complex, dynamic flows without custom dev or messy workarounds.
  • Adapt fast to real-world event needs without sacrificing attendee experience.
Pricing that grows with you

Run every event without counting heads.

  • Stova charges per registration, plus integration fees, plus penalties if you exceed your block.
  • Stova’s costs climb quickly and discourage registering all attendees, leading to incomplete data.
  • Swoogo’s flat, user-based pricing means you can run paid and free events without worrying about caps.
  • Know exactly what you’re paying for, and plan your growth with confidence.
Support you can count on

We don’t just answer tickets, we solve problems.

  • Stova’s support model can leave teams without the consistent, hands-on help they need during high-stakes moments.
  • With Swoogo, you work directly with experienced event pros who understand your world—no scripts, no outsourcing.
  • Get fast responses, proactive solutions, and a real partnership that keeps your event moving forward without stress.

The features & flexibility you need to build your events, your way

"Customer service is fantastic. There are times I reach out out 2-4 times a day with questions and I get responses right away. Sometimes they even record a video to show my how to do something. No complaints on the customer service."

"Unlike platforms that charge per event or per registration, Swoogo offers straightforward pricing that eliminates budget anxiety. We no longer hesitate to use the platform for smaller events because costs remain predictable."

"I’ve dabbled in a few event tech platforms over the years, and none of them made me feel as confident and capable as Swoogo does. I came in with limited technical knowledge, but thanks to Swoogo’s incredibly smooth and supportive team, I now feel like an event tech expert!"
