How Presso Events compares with EventMobi, with every EventMobi figure carrying the date it was last checked.

The table below is the short version. The case for EventMobi is under it, because a comparison with no case against itself is an advertisement.

When EventMobi is the better choice

Two of the arguments we make on other comparison pages do not work against EventMobi, and one of them means EventMobi beats us outright. They charge nothing on ticket sales and we charge 1%: their pricing FAQ says there are no registration fees for free or paid tickets and the only fee is the card processing charged by your own gateway (seen 07/08/2026). On the ticket-fee line they win. If your event sells a large amount of revenue to a modest number of attendees, a fixed licence can genuinely cost less than 1% of sales, and you should buy the licence. The no-download argument does not work here either - their event app is accessible in any mobile browser as well as natively, so that is a draw. They are also a much deeper onsite product: badge printing, hardware rental, exhibitor lead capture, an integration hub covering CRM and association management, and professional services with onsite staff. If your conference needs badge printing and people on the ground on the day, Presso Events does not do that and EventMobi does it well.

Questions

How much does EventMobi cost?
EventMobi's pricing table lists two plans: from US$3,500 per event, and from US$7,900 a year for unlimited events (eventmobi.com/pricing, seen 07/08/2026). Per-event pricing is described as "as low as US$1 per product, per attendee" and the annual plan as "as low as US$3 annually, per attendee". Add-ons including the Integration Hub, Custom Domain, Single Sign-On and a Branded App sit on top, and lead capture is listed at $50 per exhibitor. Presso charges a flat 1% of ticket sales with no minimum and no licence.
Does EventMobi charge ticketing or registration fees?
No, and that is a genuine advantage over Presso. EventMobi's pricing FAQ states that it does not charge registration fees, that there are no fees for free or paid tickets, and that the only fee applied is the standard credit card processing fee charged by your payment gateway (seen 07/08/2026). Presso charges 1% of ticket sales. If you are running a high-revenue event and are comparing ticket fees alone, EventMobi wins that line.
Does EventMobi require attendees to download an app?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. EventMobi's own Event Apps page says the event app "is easily accessible on any mobile browser or as a native app on iOS or Android" (seen 07/08/2026), so attendees can join in a browser. That is the same approach Presso takes. On this comparison the no-download question is a draw, not a difference.
Is Presso cheaper than EventMobi?
It depends entirely on how much you sell, and the maths is simple. Presso is 1% of ticket sales, so Presso's fee only reaches EventMobi's per-event starting licence once your event takes 100 times that licence in ticket revenue. Below that, Presso costs less and you pay nothing until a ticket sells. Above it, a fixed licence is the cheaper structure and EventMobi is the better buy. We are not converting their US dollar figure into pounds to pick the crossover for you - the rate moves, and their price is published in their currency.
Is there an EventMobi alternative with no upfront licence?
Presso. A flat 1% of ticket sales with no minimum, no per-attendee metering, no contract and nothing to pay until a paid ticket sells - so a cancelled or quiet event costs you nothing rather than the price of a licence you already bought. The event app runs in the browser and is included in the 1%.
