Guidebook is a strong choice when planners need a polished mobile event app without building custom software. It is especially useful for agendas, maps, push updates, sponsor content, and campus-style recurring programs. Budget-sensitive teams should confirm publishing, branding, attendee caps, and integration needs before assuming the lowest plan is enough.
Guidebook describes transparent plans, but final fit still depends on event count, attendee caps, branding, integrations, and white-label needs.
The Small Event plan has a 200-attendee cap, so growing events may need a higher package.
G2 reviewers praise usability but note initial setup can take time for complex or content-heavy events.
Guidebook can support event information and engagement, but dedicated registration and ticketing workflows may still be needed.
Standalone white-label app needs and custom branding requirements should be scoped explicitly.
| Plan | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Small Event | Quote-based; capped at 200 attendees | Entry option for smaller events that need a Guidebook-powered app experience |
| Event | Quote-based; Guidebook's pricing guide references apps from $3,750 | Primary professional event plan with no publicly stated attendee cap |
| Year-Round | Custom quote | For teams running recurring programs across a year |
| Unlimited | Custom quote | For higher-volume organizations that need multiple apps or events |
Guidebook is strongest when the event app is the attendee’s pocket guide: agenda, maps, updates, sponsors, documents, and notifications in one place. It is approachable for teams that want a professional app without custom development.
The buying decision is mostly about scope. Confirm event count, attendee caps, branding, integrations, and support level before comparing Guidebook against broader event platforms.
