the EventMobi alternative you can build before the demo
[ push bulletins with no app store, booths sold from the map ]
EventMobi and studio want the same customer: the team running one event, or a handful, that needs a website, an attendee app and registration without an enterprise contract. the differences are in how you start, what the app can do without a store, and how much of the event one checkout can sell.
why teams pick studio over EventMobi

does the studio app send push notifications without a download?
yes. attendees open the app from a link or QR code and save it to the home screen, and your bulletins reach the lock screen. no app store, no weeks of review.
can exhibitors buy a booth on a floor plan?
in studio, yes. draw the hall to scale once, and exhibitors pick a booth on the live map during registration, held for fifteen minutes while they pay in the same cart.
can I try studio without a demo?
yes. sign up and build the whole event free: site, app, registration and test orders. nothing expires while you decide, and you pay only when you publish.
