Comparison
Creventa vs FanGo
The core difference is approach: Creventa is an all-in-one platform you can be live on in days, while FanGo builds bespoke software per client. Here is how they compare.
FanGo positions itself as bespoke, tailor-made event software, focused predominantly on ticket sales. That can suit venues wanting a fully custom build, but that takes longer to deploy. Creventa takes a different route: a complete, configurable platform that is fast to start using, fully branded to your venue, and improved continuously for every customer at once. With Creventa, you can take full advantage of any new features or upgrade your package at any time.

Where Creventa stands out
- Built by hospitality people. Our roots are in hospitality and events, having run and operated our own venues for decades, and we work in close alignment with our clients to keep developing the platform.
- Delegated host and host seating-plan editing. Clients (charities, companies, wedding couples) manage their own guest lists and tables, which removes a huge amount of venue admin. This is a Creventa strength.
- All-in-one and fast to launch. Pre-orders, allergens, seating, ticketing, scanning, meeting rooms and payments in one configurable platform, live in days.
- Selector menus. Built for canape receptions, buffets, sharing plates, grazing food, barbecues and afternoon teas, with printable buffet tags and a shared ordering facility, so you can cater for a far wider range of events.
- Memberships. Offer member-specific discounts based on closed-loop groups.
- Discount and voucher management. A comprehensive discount and voucher scheme, including single-use, percentage and fixed-price vouchers, plus multiple-use codes with expiry dates.
- Checkout in seconds, not minutes. Guests check out in under 60 seconds. Creventa collects the details automatically during purchase, with no separate account registration.
- Broad integration set. Opera Cloud, Delphi, SevenRooms, OpenTable, TenKites and Tevalis, Airship, Tripleseat, Triple Jump, Thynk, HubSpot and Salesforce out of the box. Read about our SevenRooms integration.
- Every customer improves together. One platform means new features reach everyone, with no bespoke rebuild required.
