Amego

Overview

Amego is best suited to event teams running conferences, trade shows, corporate events or global tours that want attendee-facing tools and event operations in one platform. Its breadth is a strength for complex programs, but the attendee caps and annual starting prices make smaller events a better fit only when Spark’s narrow audience target is enough.

Key features

Engagement and networking

The app combines personalized agendas, messaging, attendee meetings, push notifications, maps, polls, surveys, Q&A and gamification. That range can keep schedules, interaction and networking in one attendee experience; sponsor lead capture also gives exhibitors a way to collect leads. For teams that only need an agenda, the breadth may be more platform than the event requires.

AI guidance and content

Sidekick can nudge attendees, recommend options, build schedules and support AI matchmaking, with beacon-aware cards for location-triggered guidance. Sidekick Spark extends event content to a website as an embeddable companion requiring one line of code. AI credits are shared across Sidekick surfaces and events, roll over to the next contracted year if unused, and overages are billed monthly. Teams should account for that shared pool when planning usage across multiple events.

Organizer controls and trust

Amego Admin is a web-based CMS for event content, branding, communications, attendee data and analytics. Integrations include RainFocus, Cvent, Swoogo, Pointr, Voxo, Wicket, Google Cloud and AWS. Amego says it is SOC 2 Type II audited and aligned with GDPR requirements, encrypts sensitive data in transit and at rest, and uses role-based access controls. It also says attendee data belongs to the customer and is not sold, mined or used to train external models. These policies will matter to teams handling sensitive attendee information.

Pricing

Amego has a free plan and paid annual plans. The published pricing note starts at $5,000/yr, while the Base and Elevate plan prices start below that figure; compare each plan’s allowance and scope rather than treating the note as a universal entry price.

• Spark: Free, billed annually, with 1,000 AI credits and unlimited attendees. It is positioned for events with 50 attendees or fewer, so the unlimited attendee wording should not be mistaken for a recommendation for larger events.
• Base: $2,499 per year, billed annually, with 5,000 AI credits, 500 attendees and unlimited events. It suits teams running multiple events within a defined attendee ceiling.
• Elevate: $4,999 per year, billed annually, with 10,000 AI credits, 750 attendees and unlimited events. The higher allowance fits programs needing more capacity and AI usage, though it still caps attendees at 750.
• Enterprise: Custom pricing, billed annually, for unlimited attendees, custom SSO, regionalized hosting and custom integrations. It is the plan for organizations that exceed lower-tier caps or need those enterprise options.

Add-ons are priced separately: Lead Scanning is $199 per device, one-time; Branded Container App is $2,499 per app, one-time; and Amego Studio is $2,499 one-time for app design customization. Custom SSO is also offered as an add-on with custom pricing. Branded apps are published under the customer’s own Apple and Google accounts, so customers should be prepared to use their own store accounts for distribution.

Standard support includes in-admin chat, help documents, community access, product updates and email support with a 24-hour response. Premier support adds on-call live-event support and a stated 15-minute response during 9am–9pm ET. Teams whose events need rapid live assistance should weigh that distinction.

Platforms

Amego supports Android, iOS and web. Its web-based Admin and embeddable Sidekick Spark extend the organizer and attendee experience beyond the mobile apps.

Who it's for

Amego is a strong candidate for enterprise event marketers, organizers, internal teams and agencies coordinating large-scale experiences, especially when networking, sponsor lead capture and AI guidance are priorities. Sponsors and exhibitors can benefit from lead capture. It is less compelling for a small, single-purpose event seeking only basic scheduling, or for an organization that needs more than 750 attendees but does not want Enterprise pricing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: A broad attendee toolkit combines agendas, networking, interaction, maps and sponsor lead capture, reducing the need to assemble those functions separately.
• Pro: Sidekick adds recommendations and schedule support in the app, plus a website companion that can be embedded with one line of code.
• Pro: Base and Elevate allow unlimited events, with clear attendee and AI-credit ceilings for planning.
• Con: The 500- and 750-attendee ceilings on Base and Elevate leave larger programs to Enterprise, whose pricing is custom.
• Con: AI credits are shared across events and surfaces, and overages are billed monthly, so broad Sidekick use can require active usage planning.
• Con: Branded app distribution uses the customer’s own Apple and Google accounts, adding an operational responsibility for the customer.

Alternatives

Consider Event Mobile App Software for a broader comparison across the category.

• HEPCon is worth considering for programmes under 50 contributions that need an offline-first agenda, source sync and personal schedules, with a free plan.
• Cvent may suit teams that want to try its registration product for free or license only the solutions they need.
• Grip Onsite is another paid option for Android, iOS and web.
• PheedLoop is an option for teams comparing event dashboard and registration or ticketing products with monthly pricing tiers.
• Eventee may fit a team buying per event, with plans described around one event, attendee limits and team members.
• run.events is worth a look for conferences of up to 500 attendees seeking audience management, a mobile app, check-in and badging in an annual plan.
• Nunify is another paid Android, iOS, web and API option, with an Essential plan priced at $24 per month and billed quarterly or annually.
• xCatalyst Event App is another paid Android, iOS and web option.

Verdict

Choose Amego for a complex event program that benefits from integrated attendee engagement, sponsor lead capture and AI guidance, particularly if unlimited events on Base or Elevate match the attendee ceiling. Look elsewhere if you need a lower-commitment paid plan, a simpler agenda tool, or capacity beyond 750 attendees without moving to custom-priced Enterprise.
