Organisers look past Remo when the floor-plan format stops matching the event: a sponsor-funded programme that needs scheduled meetings, a conference with several parallel stages, or an audience above the self-serve ceiling. Some want a European operator or a different way of paying. The usual destinations are matchmaking specialists, all-in-one conference suites and CRM-linked platforms.
Short answer: The first three alternatives to Remo in our virtual event platform ranking are Brella, Converve and b2match. Places 1 to 3 go to challengers, vendors outside the best-known brands in a category, wherever the category has them; the established names follow from place 4 in their ranked order. Choose Brella if sponsors pay for booked conversations and you want a Finnish operator. Each of the 11 alternatives sits in Best Virtual Event Platform in 2026 and is described against Remo.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Pricing: Published: Starter from $299 a month, one-off events from $699, enterprise quoted; 14-day trial

01
Why buyers look past Remo
01
Tables suit conversation, not every agenda
Remo's plans centre on 3D floor plans, free movement between tables and floors, and guest shuffling. That works for mixers and small conferences. A programme built on pre-booked buyer meetings, parallel tracks or sponsor booths with lead capture asks for other tooling, and our category notes put Remo's sponsor tooling at light.
02
Size limits and add-ons shape the bill
The pricing page lists Starter from $299 a month billed quarterly or annually, One-Time Events from $699, and an Enterprise quote. Floor plan design, in-event support, advanced analytics and custom SSO are add-ons outside Starter. The page's own tables disagree on attendee caps, from 1,000 to 5,000 or 10,000, so sizing needs a call with sales.
03
Operator and data questions come up in procurement
The pricing page we read gives a phone number and a support address but no headquarters. Buyers who must name a processor's country, or who favour a vendor established in the EU or Switzerland, usually shortlist providers whose pages state where they operate.
you run a career fair or trade show and want the vendor's team to run it with you

What each one does differently
1
Brella
Finland · On request
Brella comes from Finland and treats the meeting as the unit of the event, so the agenda, profiles and sponsor packages all feed into scheduled conversations. Pricing is quoted per event and tiered by attendee count. Our category record calls its streaming deliberately ordinary and its event website basic, which matters if viewing is the main activity.
Switch from Remo if sponsors pay for booked conversations and you want a Finnish operator.
Converve is a German matchmaking platform where the organiser decides who may meet whom among buyers, exhibitors and investors. Per-event prices are published from 3,400 euros net for Match, 4,950 for Match & Meet and 7,900 for Match & Meet Pro. Browser video meetings are included, though webinars and large broadcast sessions are outside its design.
Switch from Remo if you want planned one-to-one meetings with organiser-set rules and a fixed per-event price.
Austrian b2match is used for brokerage events, cluster programmes and publicly funded matchmaking, where the report on bilateral meetings held is the deliverable. A single-event or twelve-month licence is priced by participant package. Production quality, booths and content delivery are thinner than in conference suites, and the interface leans towards administration.
Switch from Remo if you must report meeting counts to a funder, in the EU, on a licence that fits an irregular calendar.
SpotMe operates from Lausanne and runs virtual, hybrid and in-person events through a branded app, pushing attendee interactions into the CRM for sales follow-up. Plans are set by the number of events a year, from 2 to 25 or custom, all quoted. Setup takes more effort than Remo's self-service start.
Switch from Remo if you run many events a year and need every interaction logged for sales or compliance.
Swapcard is a French platform whose networking engine recommends contacts and handles meeting requests across a busy trade show. Licences are annual and priced per attendee and exhibitor, with the branded app and onsite hardware as extras. Its registration and website side is weaker than the app, and prices arrive through a salesperson.
Switch from Remo if a large trade show needs recommended contacts and an app, and quoting through sales is acceptable.
Eventtia is an API-first platform from Colombia, designed to be driven by another system, so a central team can run hundreds of small events with registration embedded on its own site. An annual licence is published from $1,650 for 250 attendees. Matchmaking sits in a dearer plan and the API assumes developer time.
Switch from Remo if a central team runs many small branded events and has developers to wire it in.
GEVME is Singapore-based, with a free plan and paid plans published from USD 1,050 a year, billed annually. Registration and onsite operations are its strong side, with local support and data residency in Asia. Useful configurations stack several annual plans, hardware and per-attendee overages, and support hours favour Asian timezones.
Switch from Remo if you run events in Asia, or want to start on a free plan and add modules.
Zuddl licenses by organiser seat, not by event, so one marketing team can run conferences, field events and webinars without a new quote each time. The published entry price is $10,000 a year for two organisers, with a platform fee and add-ons on top. It is younger than Swapcard, and an annual contract fits a full calendar better than a single show.
Switch from Remo if your team runs events and webinars all year and wants a seat-based licence.
RingCentral Events packages stages, sessions, expo booths, networking and onsite check-in in one product. Pricing is published from $99 per organiser a month on an annual commitment, with a 30-day trial. The product began at Hopin and was sold to RingCentral, so check the roadmap with the vendor before signing a long term.
Switch from Remo if you need parallel stages and expo booths from one vendor with a published entry price.
The old Hubilo address now leads to Virtual PRO, sold by Brandlive of Portland, Oregon, so confirm which product you are buying. It offers registration, booths, breakouts and CRM integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce and Marketo. Annual plans are published by admin seats from $15,000 with a 1,000-attendee cap, and production services cost extra.
Switch from Remo if you want booths, lead scoring and CRM links, and can commit to an annual contract.
vFairs sells illustrated halls with staffed booths and a project manager who helps run the event, which is why career fairs and trade shows return to it. Pricing is quoted per event, with each added capability a separate line. Self-service configuration is limited by design, so it asks for more reliance on the vendor team than Remo does.
Switch from Remo if you run a career fair or trade show and want the vendor's team to run it with you.

When Remo is still the right choice
Remo stays the right choice when the event is about people circulating between tables and you want to buy without a sales cycle. A published Starter price, a 14-day trial without a card and unlimited events and registrations on Starter make budgeting easy for a team with a regular programme. Poll, quiz and Q&A tools plus free and paid ticketing cover most social and community formats.
05
What moving off Remo involves
01
Floor plans do not export
A Remo floor plan, table layout and content displays are built inside Remo, so a move means redesigning the room in the new tool or replacing it with a meeting schedule. Keep registration lists and ticket data as exports first, and run a dry run with a few staff before the real date.
02
Check sizing against the page you were quoted
Because Remo's own pages state different caps for the same plan, ask for the attendee and organiser limits in writing. Do the same with the new vendor, and ask which analytics, SSO and support options are in the price and which are add-ons.
06
Questions about replacing Remo
6 answers
What does Remo cost?
The pricing page lists Starter from $299 a month billed quarterly or annually, One-Time Events from $699 and Enterprise on a custom quote. It also offers a 14-day trial without a credit card and a separate application for discounts for startups, small businesses and non-profits.
How many attendees does Remo support?
Starter starts at 200 per event and One-Time Events at 100, with an Enterprise plan up to 10,000 in one place on the page. The comparison tables and plan sections disagree on some caps, so get the figure confirmed before booking a large event.
Which alternative has a published price like Remo's?
RingCentral Events publishes from $99 per organiser a month, Zuddl from $10,000 a year, Virtual PRO from $15,000, Eventtia from $1,650 a year, GEVME from USD 1,050 a year and Converve from 3,400 euros per event. The others quote through sales.
Which options are run from Europe?
Brella is Finnish, b2match Austrian, Converve German, Swapcard French and SpotMe Swiss. Operator country is separate from where data is hosted, so read each vendor's data terms.
Which alternative suits planned business meetings?
Brella, b2match and Converve are built around scheduled one-to-one meetings, and Swapcard adds recommended contacts. They give up some of the open feel that tables provide.
Can I run a webinar on these platforms?
Zuddl includes webinars alongside events and RingCentral Events has stages and sessions. Converve and b2match are not built for large broadcast sessions.
