STOA's verdictRating 5.4 out of 10
Cvent is built for large companies running dozens of conferences and corporate events each year — not for most small businesses.
The biggest problem is price: at $10,000-$15,000+ per year, you'd need to run a serious volume of paid events just to break even. If you're a small event planning firm or association with complex, recurring events, it might make sense, but most small business owners will find tools like Eventbrite or Whova give them most of what they need at a much lower cost.
