Top 5 RegFox alternatives reviewed in 2026

When choosing event registration software, pricing, attendee experience, marketing, and event-day logistics all matter. RegFox covers the essentials well, but it may not be the right fit for every event or budget. The best choice depends on the type of event you run, your budget, and the tools your team needs.

In this guide, we compare five leading RegFox alternatives for 2026: Ticket Tailor, Eventzilla, Whova, Cvent, and Eventbrite. We’ll look at their key features, pricing, and ideal use cases. We’ll also explore how Jotform can serve as a flexible alternative for customizable event registration, payment collection, and attendee data management.

What RegFox offers and where it may fall short

RegFox is an event registration platform from Webconnex that helps organizers create branded registration pages, collect payments, manage attendees, build conditional registration paths, and support event-day check-in. Its usage-based pricing appeals to organizations that host events periodically, because the Standard and Premium plans have no monthly fee; costs scale with registrations.

Pricing 

• Standard: $0 monthly fee, plus $0.99 + 1 percent per paid registration, capped at $4.99
• Premium: $0 monthly fee, plus $1.99 + 1 percent per registration, capped at $5.99
• Professional: $499 per month when billed annually, plus registration fees
• Webconnex payments: 2.9 percent + $0.30 per transaction
• Free events: Per-attendee fees apply, depending on the plan

RegFox also offers email and SMS communication, badge printing, attendee management, check-in, and an attendee app on applicable plans.

What event organizers look for in a RegFox alternative

The best event registration software is not necessarily the platform with the most features. What matters more is whether its pricing, setup, and event-management tools match the way your team works.

When comparing RegFox alternatives, focus on the areas that have the biggest impact on your event:

• Marketing and discovery: Look for email campaigns, audience targeting, promotional tools, or a public event marketplace if attracting attendees is a priority.
• Event management: Larger or more complex events may require agendas, networking, exhibitor management, lead retrieval, badge printing, and an attendee app.
• Pricing structure: Compare percentage-based fees, flat per-ticket costs, prepaid credits, monthly subscriptions, and custom pricing based on your expected attendance and ticket value.
• Ease of use: A feature-rich platform may not be the best choice if it adds unnecessary setup or requires more training than your team can reasonably manage.
• Free-event pricing: If you regularly host free workshops, community events, or nonprofit programs, check whether the platform charges a fee for each free registration.

The goal is to find a platform that supports the parts of event planning that matter most to you without adding unnecessary cost or complexity.

5 best RegFox alternatives for 2026

Tool	Best for	Pricing	Why choose it
Ticket Tailor	Paid ticketed events	$0.85/ticket (pay as you go); prepaid from $0.30	Flat ticket fee
Eventzilla	Budget events & marketing	Free events; paid from $1.50/registration	Free events & marketing
Whova	Conferences and expos	Quote-based; registration 3 percent + $0.99	App, networking, lead capture
Cvent	Enterprise event programs	Custom quote	End-to-end event operations
Eventbrite	Public events needing reach	3.7 percent + $1.79/ticket + processing	Marketplace discovery

1. Ticket Tailor: Best for predictable per-ticket pricing

Best for: Organizers who are selling paid tickets and want a simple, flat platform fee

Ticket Tailor takes a different approach from RegFox’s percentage-plus-fixed-fee structure. Its US pay-as-you-go rate is $0.85 per paid ticket, regardless of ticket price. Organizers can also buy credits in advance, with pricing as low as $0.30 per credit at higher volumes. For example, 500 prepaid credits currently cost $0.60 each.

Ticket Tailor connects to Stripe, PayPal, and Square, so payment-processing fees come from your selected provider rather than being included in Ticket Tailor’s platform fee.

Key features

• Custom event pages and ticket types
• Stripe, PayPal, and Square integrations
• Mobile check-in
• Seating charts
• Discount codes and add-ons

Switch factor: Predictability. Because Ticket Tailor’s platform charge is flat per ticket rather than tied to ticket value, it can be easier to model costs for higher-priced tickets.

Pricing: Pay as you go costs $0.85 per paid ticket in the United States; prepaid credits can lower the fee. Ticket Tailor charges no platform fee for up to 5,000 free tickets per year. Payment processing is separate.

2. Eventzilla: Best for budget events that need marketing tools

Best for: Small and midsize organizers who want registration, ticketing, and promotion together

Eventzilla combines registration with built-in marketing. Its Basic tier includes email invitations, attendee announcements, social promotion, Eventzilla Discover listings, mobile check-in, and basic post-event surveys. Higher tiers add conditional logic, customizable emails, agendas, speaker management, sponsor and exhibitor tools, and segmented email campaigns.

Key features

• Registration and ticketing
• Email invitations and announcements
• Event discovery and social promotion
• Conditional logic on higher tiers
• Agenda and speaker management
• Mobile check-in

Switch factor: Free-event handling and promotion. Eventzilla doesn’t charge a basic platform fee for free events, while RegFox charges per registrant.

Pricing: Basic costs $1.50 per paid registration. Pro costs 1.9 percent plus $1.50, and Plus costs 2.9 percent plus $1.50 per registration in the US. Free events are free for standard features; premium free-event features start at $49 per month. Eventzilla Payments costs 2.9 percent plus $0.99 per transaction, or you can use supported outside gateways.

3. Whova: Best for conferences that need an attendee app

Best for: Organizers of conferences, associations, expos, and other agenda-heavy events

Whova is a full conference platform rather than simply a ticketing tool. Registration connects to a mobile and web attendee experience where guests can view agendas, join discussions, message attendees, participate in polls and Q&As, and interact with sponsors and exhibitors.

Whova also includes agenda management, check-in, exhibitor tools, and lead retrieval. Exhibitors can scan attendee QR codes to capture and export leads.

Key features

• Online registration and ticketing
• Mobile and web attendee app
• Agendas and session management
• Attendee networking
• Sponsor and exhibitor tools
• Lead retrieval

Switch factor: Attendee experience. If registration is only the first step and your event depends on sessions, networking, sponsors, and exhibitor ROI, Whova’s engagement tools may justify the switch.

Pricing: Whova’s overall platform pricing is quote-based. For registration, Whova currently lists a 3 percent fee plus $0.99 per paid ticket using its Stripe payout setup. Request a quote based on event size, duration, and required features before comparing total cost.

4. Cvent: Best for enterprise and complex event programs

Best for: Large organizations managing complex events, multiple teams, venues, budgets, and event portfolios

Cvent sits at the enterprise end of the market. Registration supports personalized paths, agendas, event websites, payments, email marketing, and housing and travel. Beyond registration, Cvent offers Attendee Hub for mobile and virtual engagement, OnArrival for onsite check-in and badging, venue sourcing, diagramming, budget management, and enterprise controls.

That may be more infrastructure than a small workshop needs, but it can suit organizations managing many complex events.

Key features

• Complex registration paths
• Event websites and email marketing
• Mobile attendee experiences
• Onsite check-in and badging
• Venue and supplier sourcing
• Budget and resource management

Switch factor: Breadth at enterprise scale. Cvent manages the wider event life cycle and the organizational processes around it.

Pricing: Cvent doesn’t publish standard dollar pricing. Professional and Enterprise packages are customized based on solutions, registration volume, and required modules, so you’ll need a quote.

5. Eventbrite: Best for public events that need marketplace reach

Best for: Concerts, classes, community events, nightlife, and workshops where audience discovery is important.

Eventbrite is both a ticketing platform and a public event marketplace. Organizers can publish events, sell tickets, promote them through email and ads, and reach people already browsing Eventbrite for things to do. It also supports custom registration questions, waitlists, reminders, mobile check-in, add-ons, and embedded checkout.

Key features

• Public event marketplace
• Ticketing and payment processing
• Email marketing and Eventbrite ads
• Automated reminders
• Mobile check-in
• Embedded checkout

Switch factor: Discovery. RegFox helps organizers market events, but Eventbrite can also display listings to consumers browsing its marketplace. That helps when attracting a new audience is central to ticket sales.

Pricing: Free events are free to publish. In the United States, paid tickets carry a 3.7 percent plus $1.79 service fee per ticket and a 2.9 percent processing fee per order. Eventbrite Pro increases email-marketing limits, with US tiers currently priced at $15, $50, and $100 per month.

Bending Spoons completed its acquisition of Eventbrite in early March 2026. Eventbrite has since been updating the product, and its current lineup centers on free publishing, optional Pro marketing subscriptions, and custom sales partnerships for larger organizers. Because the platform is changing, check live pricing before budgeting future events.

How Jotform can support your event registration

If your event needs more than a standard ticketing flow, Jotform gives you the flexibility to build registration around the way your team works, from collecting attendee details and payments to managing event data and follow-up tasks.

You can start with more than 2,700 event registration templates, customize an Event Registration Form, or adapt a Conference Registration Form. For paid events, payment processor integrations let you collect registration fees through supported payment gateways. You pay the payment processor’s fee, but there’s no additional transaction fee from Jotform.

Jotform can also support other parts of the event life cycle:

• Manage attendee data: Organize registrations, schedules, and event details with Jotform Tables and event-planning table templates.
• Coordinate planning: Use the Event Planning Workflow Template or Event Marketing Workflow Template to automate tasks, approvals, and handoffs.
• Use AI tools: Jotform offers AI tools for event planners, including AI Agents for event planning and event registration.
• Engage attendees: Create a mobile-friendly experience with Jotform’s Event App Creator and collect post-event insights with event feedback form templates.

Jotform isn’t a public ticket marketplace like Eventbrite or an enterprise conference suite like Cvent. Instead, it gives organizers a flexible way to connect registration, payments, event data, and planning workflows based on how their event operates.

Choose the RegFox alternative that fits your event

The right RegFox alternative depends on what matters most for your event. Ticket Tailor is a strong fit for predictable ticketing costs, Eventzilla for budget-conscious events with built-in promotion, Whova for conferences focused on networking and engagement, Cvent for complex enterprise programs, and Eventbrite for events that benefit from marketplace discovery.

Before choosing, consider your expected registration volume, ticket price, payment-processing costs, marketing needs, attendee experience, and onsite requirements. The most affordable option for a small workshop may not be the most cost-effective choice for a large conference.

If you need a more customizable registration workflow, Jotform can help you collect attendee information and payments, organize event data, automate planning tasks, and gather feedback in one connected setup. Start with a ready-made template, then adapt the workflow as your event grows.
