Discover how Meetingmax compares to Cvent Passkey

When selecting a room block management software provider there are many factors that you want to consider such as software features, customer service, ability to integrate with other solutions, and cost.

1. Software Features

   As an event manager you know that each event is unique and rarely managed the same way. The same applies to event accommodation management. At Meetingmax, we’ve seen it all and, as such, have built our software to accommodate it all. Both Meetingmax and Passkey have advanced feature sets such as:

   • • Flexible room rate management: change rates per night, hide rates, comp room nights, variable taxes & fees, and more.
     • Rooming list functionality: manage and import rooming lists
     • Advanced sub-block functionality: custom branding, pricing, and verbiage per sub-block. Learn more about Meetingmax’s sub-block capabilities.
     • Sub-block requests: Allow groups to request sub-blocks which you can approve and automatically assign inventory.
     • Customizable branding: custom images, headers, advertisement, verbiage and colours per event.
     • In-depth reports: customizable rooming lists, pace reports, pick-up by day, event summary, and more.
     • Real-time revenue tracking: keep tabs on your commission, rebates, and event fees.
     • And more…

3. Integrations

   As mentioned above, Cvent Passkey is connected to the rest of their event tech stack through various integrations. Alternatively, Meetingmax offers an open API making it easy to integrate with outside technology. Additionally Meetingmax offers existing integrations with:

   • • Aventri registration: guests seamlessly move from registration to booking hotel accommodations. Learn more.
     • Simpleview CRM: Convention & Visitor Bureaus can enjoy a host of benefits from our integration with Simpleview. Learn more.
     • Stripe: Collect revenue during guest bookings and hotel modifications. Learn more.

    

4. Cost

   Much like registration, both Meetingmax and Cvent Passkey charge on a per unit basis; Meetingmax typically charges per room night while Passkey typically charges per reservation. During the Covid-era when it was next to impossible for event planners to forecast annual commitments, Meetingmax completely revamped their pricing model allowing clients to buy as many room night units as they needed, when they needed them. This eliminates the to guess, forecast, or commit to a specific volume. In addition, Meetingmax offers:

   • • Room nights that don’t expire
     • Unlimited number of events
     • Unlimited number of users
     • Discounts on up-front payments
