Pricing Compared
Starting price reflects the lowest paid tier, not the full cost for every team size or usage level.
Consistently rated easy to use for both event organizers and attendees on G2 and Capterra
Centralizes sessions, speakers, sponsors, and attendee data in one system with real-time agenda updates
Responsive customer support, including a dedicated Event Success Manager on annual plans
Free API and Zapier integration make it possible to connect EventMobi into a broader tool stack
Cons
Per-event starting price of $3,000 can be high for small or infrequent events
Streaming, video storage, and badge-printing hardware are billed as separate add-ons on top of the base plan
Some reviewers note limited bilingual or localization customization within the app interface
Reordering complex, multi-track agendas can be tedious compared to fully automated scheduling tools
Galene
Pros
Free and MIT-licensed, with full source code access and no vendor lock-in
Very low CPU and RAM footprint compared to many comparable SFUs
Cross-platform server support across Linux, macOS, Windows and ARM devices
Actively maintained with funded development and an independent security review
Proven in production at major universities and open-source conferences
Cons
No official managed or hosted SaaS option; self-hosting is required
Requires system administration skills to deploy and maintain
User interface is more minimal than commercial tools like Zoom or Google Meet
Many-to-many meetings scale quadratically, limiting very large all-camera calls
Smaller community and fewer integrations than Jitsi Meet
Use Cases
EventMobi
Corporate Conferences and Internal Events — Companies use EventMobi to build event websites, manage registration, and run branded event apps for annual conferences, sales kickoffs, and internal meetings.
Association and Membership Conferences — Associations and nonprofits use EventMobi's annual unlimited-events plan to run recurring conferences with a dedicated Event Success Manager and carry-forward attendee licenses.
Hybrid and Virtual Summits — Organizations running remote-inclusive events use EventMobi's streaming, on-demand video, and virtual booth tools built on its Run The World acquisition to reach attendees who cannot travel onsite.
Galene
University lecture and remote examination platform — Originally built for and still used to deliver lectures, tutorials and supervised remote exams at Universite Paris Cite and Sorbonne Universite.
Conference and community event streaming — Used to host free-software and academic conferences such as LibrePlanet 2024 and JFLA 2021, letting organizers avoid proprietary conferencing platforms.
Privacy-conscious self-hosted meetings — Deployed by organizations that want full control over meeting data and infrastructure instead of relying on a third-party video SaaS.
