EventMobi's price starts before your event does.
EventMobi publishes its pricing, which puts it ahead of most of this category. The comparison is not transparency, it is structure: their fee is a licence you buy up front and meter by attendee, and Presso's is a flat 1% of what you actually sell.
Presso vs EventMobi, in one table.

A licence, metered by attendee.
EventMobi's pricing table lists two ways in. Per Event starts at US$3,500 and is described as "as low as US$1 per product, per attendee". Per Year starts at US$7,900 for unlimited events, "as low as US$3 annually, per attendee", with unused attendee licences rolling over into future contracts. Above 10,000 attendees the price becomes custom. All seen 07/08/2026.
Several things a UK organiser might assume are included are listed as add-ons on both plans: the Integration Hub, a Branded App, a Custom Domain, Single Sign-On, and the virtual and hybrid platform. Lead capture is listed at $50 per exhibitor and badge stock and hardware rental from $1.99 per badge.
Presso's platform fee is a flat 1% of ticket sales, no minimum. No licence, no per-attendee metering, no tiers, and nothing to pay until a paid ticket sells. Free tickets stay free. It is on thepricing page. The only second number isPresso Pro at £49 a month or £490 a year, for running Presso Events on your own domain with your own branding - an add-on rather than a tier, and everything works without it.

Their pricing page carries two different starting prices.
This is worth knowing before you quote EventMobi to a board. On 07/08/2026, the pricing table a visitor reads oneventmobi.com/pricing shows from US$3,500 per event and from US$7,900 a year. The frequently-asked-questions section further down the same page says US$3,000 per event and US$8,900 a year.
We have used the figures from the pricing table throughout this page, because that is what a buyer is actually shown. We are flagging the difference rather than picking the flattering one, and either way the real number arrives on a price sheet after you ask for it. If EventMobi tidy this up, this section stops being true, and we will remove it.
Pay before, or pay a share of after.
This is the whole comparison, and it cuts both ways honestly. EventMobi is a fixed cost: you commit to a licence, and it does not move whether you sell forty tickets or four thousand. Presso is a variable cost: 1% of ticket sales, so a quiet event costs less because it sold less, and a cancelled one costs nothing at all.
Because Presso's rate is 1%, the crossover is easy to work out without anyone's exchange rate: Presso's fee reaches EventMobi's per-event starting licence when your event takes 100 times that licencein ticket revenue. Under that, the percentage is cheaper. Over it, the licence is. That is arithmetic, not marketing, and it is the honest way to choose between the two.
There is a second difference on the per-event plan worth checking against your programme: EventMobi lists usage limits of an event length under 7 days and post-event access under 7 days (seen 07/08/2026). If attendees expect to come back to session content a month later, that is the annual plan rather than the per-event one. Presso does not meter post-event access.
When EventMobi is the better choice.
Two of the arguments we make on other comparison pages do not work against EventMobi, and one of them means EventMobi beats us outright.
They charge nothing on ticket sales. We charge 1%.EventMobi's pricing FAQ says it charges no registration fees, that there are no fees for free or paid tickets, and that the only fee is the card processing charged by your own payment gateway (seen 07/08/2026). On the ticket-fee line, they win and we lose. If your event sells a large amount of revenue to a modest number of attendees - a high-ticket summit, a corporate conference with sponsor-funded seats - a fixed licence can genuinely cost less than 1% of sales, and you should buy the licence.
The no-download argument does not work against EventMobi.We make it on other pages because it is true there. It is not true here: their Event Apps page says the event app is accessible on any mobile browser as well as as a native iOS or Android app, so attendees can join in a browser exactly as they can with Presso. On this comparison that is a draw, and claiming otherwise would be the kind of thing this page is arguing against.
They are also a much deeper onsite product than Presso. BadgeON badge printing, hardware rental, exhibitor lead capture, gamification, an integration hub covering CRM and association management systems, and professional services with onsite staff and a dedicated Event Success Manager on the annual plan. If your conference needs badge printing and people on the ground on the day, Presso does not do that and EventMobi does it well. They also publish discounts for non-profits, associations and multi-year contracts, which matters if you are an association.
Presso's case is narrower than it is against the quote-only platforms, and it is about structure rather than virtue: nothing to pay before you sell, a fee that falls when sales fall, no attendee metering, no contract, and setup in a sentence rather than a build session. If you are running events where the revenue is uncertain, that is when to pick Presso.
Moving across.
Because EventMobi does not sit in your ticket money - your gateway does - moving a future event to Presso is mostly a question of where the next event's registration lives, not of unwinding a payment arrangement. Describe the event to Presso in one message and it builds the schedule, ticket types and event app for you, and attendees open it in a browser with no install. See how it works.
EventMobi vs Presso, answered.
How much does EventMobi cost?
EventMobi's pricing table lists two plans: from US$3,500 per event, and from US$7,900 a year for unlimited events (eventmobi.com/pricing, seen 07/08/2026). Per-event pricing is described as "as low as US$1 per product, per attendee" and the annual plan as "as low as US$3 annually, per attendee". Add-ons including the Integration Hub, Custom Domain, Single Sign-On and a Branded App sit on top, and lead capture is listed at $50 per exhibitor. Presso charges a flat 1% of ticket sales with no minimum and no licence.
Does EventMobi charge ticketing or registration fees?
No, and that is a genuine advantage over Presso. EventMobi's pricing FAQ states that it does not charge registration fees, that there are no fees for free or paid tickets, and that the only fee applied is the standard credit card processing fee charged by your payment gateway (seen 07/08/2026). Presso charges 1% of ticket sales. If you are running a high-revenue event and are comparing ticket fees alone, EventMobi wins that line.
Does EventMobi require attendees to download an app?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. EventMobi's own Event Apps page says the event app "is easily accessible on any mobile browser or as a native app on iOS or Android" (seen 07/08/2026), so attendees can join in a browser. That is the same approach Presso takes. On this comparison the no-download question is a draw, not a difference.
Is Presso cheaper than EventMobi?
It depends entirely on how much you sell, and the maths is simple. Presso is 1% of ticket sales, so Presso's fee only reaches EventMobi's per-event starting licence once your event takes 100 times that licence in ticket revenue. Below that, Presso costs less and you pay nothing until a ticket sells. Above it, a fixed licence is the cheaper structure and EventMobi is the better buy. We are not converting their US dollar figure into pounds to pick the crossover for you - the rate moves, and their price is published in their currency.
Is there an EventMobi alternative with no upfront licence?
Presso. A flat 1% of ticket sales with no minimum, no per-attendee metering, no contract and nothing to pay until a paid ticket sells - so a cancelled or quiet event costs you nothing rather than the price of a licence you already bought. The event app runs in the browser and is included in the 1%.
