Whova is an award-winning event app for in-person and hybrid events. HeySummit is purpose-built for virtual summits and multi-session online events — with powerful speaker management, marketing tools, and monetisation features.
Whova is primarily an event app designed to enhance in-person and hybrid event experiences. It offers features like attendee networking, agenda management, and event engagement tools. HeySummit, on the other hand, is built specifically for virtual summits and online events — with deep features for speaker management, session scheduling, email campaigns, sponsor management, and monetisation. While Whova does support virtual components, its core strength lies in augmenting physical events.
Whova is ideal for:
In-person and hybrid events, conference networking, event apps for attendees
Speaker Management
Multi-Session Events
Session Scheduling
Landing Page Builder
Ticketing & Registration
Email Campaigns
Sponsor Management
Attendee Networking
Analytics & Reporting
White-Label Branding
Affiliate Program
Video Integrations
Whova was built for in-person events and added virtual features later. HeySummit was built virtual-first — every feature is optimised for online event delivery, from session streaming to on-demand content.
HeySummit includes email campaigns with audience segmentation, affiliate programs, custom landing pages, and referral tracking. Whova focuses more on the attendee app experience than pre-event marketing.
HeySummit offers transparent, self-serve pricing. Whova uses custom pricing with sales-led processes and potential add-on costs that reviewers find can add up quickly.
HeySummit offers sponsor management, affiliate programs, upsells, add-ons, and premium content access. Whova's monetisation is primarily limited to ticketing and registration fees.
