bizzabo alternative

Bizzabo runs the event for the organizer. Draftpile proves delivery for the sponsor.

Bizzabo is an event management platform built for the team running the event. Draftpile is built for the other side of the table — the sponsor who paid, non-refundable, and has to prove internally that every deliverable arrived. One ledger per event: see what's delivered, chase what's missing, export a defensible proof pack.

why teams switch
Built for the sponsor, not the organizer
Bizzabo serves the people running the event. Draftpile is the first tool built for the sponsor who pays and has to justify the spend.
Your record, not the organizer's report
Instead of waiting for a recap the organizer formats their way, you hold a live ledger of every deliverable and its proof — captured as it happens.
Proof that survives the event
Deliverables vanish when the event ends. Draftpile captures each one, timestamped, before the evidence window closes for good.
A defensible export
One branded proof pack — every deliverable, timestamped — ready to forward to finance or compliance. Free to start, no card.

frequently asked

What is the difference between Bizzabo and Draftpile?

Bizzabo is an event management platform built for the organizer running the event — registration, agendas, the attendee experience, and sponsor exhibitor tools. Draftpile is built for the sponsor who pays: a deliverables ledger that proves each thing you bought was delivered and exports a timestamped proof pack.

Is Draftpile an event platform like Bizzabo?

No. Draftpile does not run events, registration, or the attendee experience. It does one job for the paying sponsor — track every contracted deliverable as missing, received, disputed, or verified, and export a pack you can defend internally.

We already get a report from the event platform. Why do we need Draftpile?

An organizer's report is the organizer's word, formatted their way, and it usually lands as a recap deck after the event. Draftpile is the sponsor's own record — proof captured per deliverable, timestamped, before the evidence window closes — so you're not dependent on the platform that was paid to deliver.

How much does Draftpile cost?

Draftpile has an ongoing free tier with 2 active sponsorships, organizer links, proof status tracking, and proof-pack export — no credit card. Pro — $75/month, or $750/year (2 months free).
