Why Travel & Events professionals prefer Planned to Cvent

  • Empower all users: Contrary to Cvent, Planned doesn’t require deep training. Booking an event feels like booking a weekend getaway, making it accessible to anyone in your organization. Turn all your employees into planners and strategically step back.

  • Get your small meetings back on track: Cvent was built for big events. With Planned, you also get control and visibility over small events. Create custom approval flows and process guard rails, and track spending from one central dashboard.

  • Affordable, simple pricing: Cvent can feel overly complex and overpriced. Planned’s enterprise plan gives you access to all features and support. No hidden fees. Unlimited users.

  • Track your savings: Planned helps users leverage preferred suppliers, compare more quotes, and save on group accommodation. We’re talking hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings, tracked directly in your dashboard.
