Cvent Pricing: License Fees, Per-Registrant Costs and What You'll Actually Pay
Cvent does not publish pricing. The cost has three layers: an annual platform license ($20K to $79K+), per-registrant fees ($7 to $12 per attendee per event), and implementation fees ($5K to $50K). For teams trying to forecast event budgets, the total cost is hard to estimate without a sales conversation. Ask the agent below.

Three cost layers. Cvent pricing is not a single number. The annual license covers platform access. Per-registrant fees are charged for every attendee at every event. Implementation is a first-year cost. A mid-market team running 10 events with 500 attendees each could pay $20K license + $35K to $60K in per-registrant fees + $10K implementation = $65K to $90K in year one. Enterprise teams report $100K to $250K+ annually.
How Cvent's pricing layers stack up
The total cost depends on your event volume, attendee count, and which modules you need. Here is how the two main cost drivers work.
Annual license
The base platform fee that covers access and core features
Covers registration, email marketing, reporting, and venue sourcing
Pricing varies by event volume and feature tier selected
Multi-year contracts (1 to 3 years) are standard
Auto-renewal clauses make it hard to exit without advance planning
Per-registrant fees
The variable cost that scales with every event
Charged for every attendee at every event on top of the license
Attendee Hub and Event App: $7 per registrant per event
Higher-tier modules can push this to $12 per registrant
This is where costs compound: 10 events with 1,000 attendees = $70K to $120K
Example scenario: A mid-market company running 15 events per year with an average of 400 attendees each: Annual license (~$30K) + per-registrant fees (15 events x 400 attendees x $7 = $42K) + implementation ($15K first year) = approximately $87K in year one. Year two drops to roughly $72K once implementation is complete, but renewal pricing may increase.

Cvent's total annual cost has three layers: an annual platform license ($19,550 to $79,000+ depending on tier and event volume), per-registrant fees ($7 to $12 per attendee per event), and a first-year implementation fee ($5,000 to $50,000). Enterprise customers with high event volume and attendee counts report total annual costs of $100,000 to $250,000+. Pricing is not published and requires a sales conversation.
Yes. On top of the annual platform license, Cvent charges $7 to $12 per registrant per event for the Attendee Hub and Event App. This per-registrant fee covers the mobile event app, check-in, badging, and engagement features. The cost compounds with every event: 10 events with 1,000 attendees each at $7 per registrant adds $70,000 to your annual bill.
Cvent typically requires 1 to 3 year contracts with auto-renewal clauses. Multi-year contracts may include volume discounts but are difficult to exit early. Users report aggressive renewal practices. Teams should confirm the cancellation window and renewal terms in writing before signing.
No. Cvent does not have a public pricing page. All pricing requires a sales conversation. The costs cited in this guide are based on user reports, procurement data, and review site disclosures. Actual pricing varies by organization size, event volume, modules selected, and contract length.
Cvent's Salesforce integration is not native. It requires manual configuration and is a common source of complaints on G2 and Capterra. Users report incomplete lead transfers, data sync failures, and the need to manually reconnect accounts after Cvent platform updates. Cvent provides limited support for integration troubleshooting, leaving most of the work to the customer's Salesforce admin.
Cvent acquired ON24 for $400M (completed April 2026) and Goldcast for $300M (December 2025). ON24 adds enterprise webinar and virtual event capabilities. Goldcast adds AI-powered video content creation from live event recordings. Together, they position Cvent as an end-to-end event-to-content platform. For existing customers, this may mean new modules, potential pricing changes, and additional integration work.
Cvent is built for enterprise event programs with high event volume and complex requirements. Mid-market teams running fewer than 20 events per year with budgets under $50K will likely find the pricing steep, the platform overly complex, and the learning curve too long for their needs. Whova, PheedLoop, and Eventbrite offer mid-market alternatives with faster onboarding, per-event pricing options, and significantly lower total cost.
