Why is EventMobi’s end-to-end event management platform the best Pathable alternative?

Pathable’s virtual event platform is pretty good. Popular features include their sponsor and exhibitor branding opportunities and networking features.

But as you’re looking for a Pathable alternative, you’re aware that there are a lot of downsides too. We’re here to tell you why EventMobi wins when it comes to live streaming & video, branding & design, and analytics.

EventMobi vs Pathable

Clearly, there are product and feature differences between EventMobi and Pathable and we’ll talk about those in a moment.

But the key thing is: EventMobi is an end-to-end event management platform for event organizers who want to deliver beautiful live stream and video experiences and provide deep analytics for event sponsors.

We’ve focused on making it easy to create great looking event experiences, with direct RTMP streaming for reliable, customized video, in-depth analytics for organizers and easy-to-use customization to really ‘make it your own’.

Plus, EventMobi’s customer services will help you deliver a truly special event – with the minimum fuss.

Top 4 reasons event organizers choose EventMobi over Pathable for their event management platform

There are pros and cons to both products. But the EventMobi platform has been used by 10,000+ event planners in 72 countries around the world since 2009 and it’s rated higher than Pathable on software review site G2 in almost every category – and by 10x the number of users too!

EASY LIVE STREAMING, NO HIDDEN COSTS

An all-in-one solution for live streams & videos

EventMobi provides an all-in-one solution to deliver live streams & videos to attendees.

With EventMobi Studio, you can easily create branded, professional live stream broadcasts in seconds. Or, use any RTMP or externally hosted video link to broadcast content live or on-demand into the native video player. 

But Pathable doesn’t provide that flexibility – their live streaming functionality means you’re locked into using Zoom. And in addition to the hefty price tag for using Pathable’s product, you also have to pay Zoom for licenses to their product.

We also have an integration with Zoom if that's what you'd like to use. But with EventMobi, you have the flexibility to create your own professional live stream broadcasts right inside the platform, or use Vimeo, YouTube Live, or RTMP stream.

CUSTOMIZATION AND BRANDING

Provide innovative attendee experiences with fully customizable virtual event spaces

Both EventMobi and Pathable offer customization options for event pages which is great. Because when you’re running an event for your company, you want everything to be on brand.

Pathable offers a widget based page builder – you get a selection of predefined building blocks for your event pages. You can change the colors and fonts to suit your brand.

But with EventMobi, you can create truly unique event experiences.

Create branded home page designs for your virtual space in minutes adding custom branded images for backgrounds, banners and widgets.

And give your attendees the tools they need for a delightful experience like personal agendas, leaderboards and countdown timers. These are all included in EventMobi so you don’t have to think about adding additional tools onto that budget.

Show off featured speaker headshots and those all important sponsor logos.

Need to upload? Drag and drop from your computer. And resize images directly in EventMobi.

And it’s easy. Here’s what Diane C. had to say:

I love that you can make changes instantly - whether on your own, or with assistance from customer support”

REAL TIME REPORTING AND ANALYTICS

Get real time insights into your event’s ROI with detailed event and video analytics

How many people are watching? Are people engaging with the speakers? How do I prove ROI to my sponsors?

Pathable provides basic analytics like the sessions with the most registered participants, the top videos and basic sponsor analytics.

If you want to dive deeper, you have to set up Google Analytics to work for you – and that’s extremely easy to get wrong.

But why would you do that when EventMobi allows you to do powerful analysis without additional spending on developers.

You can drill down into more data points and get comprehensive reports, answering questions like:

How many clicked a sponsor’s banner ad vs didn’t click it? Who viewed which sponsor’s video, when and for how long? What were the most popular sessions? Who viewed which pages in the event space? They could be sales prospects for your sponsors and exhibitors.

It’s important to be able to track the ROI of your business event program. EventMobi makes this easy right out of the box.
