NoLower platform cost, clearer adoption path
ema packages start from $499/month and are shaped around your event volume, support needs, and included usage. Stova pricing is usually shaped by Custom enterprise pricing.
Pricing comparisons are based on public pricing where available, published package structures, buyer-reported ranges, and equivalent operating needs. Competitor prices vary by contract, module, geography, support level, implementation scope, and event volume. Hard-cost services and payment processing may differ. Bring us your current quote and we will compare it plainly.
Switching from another platform?
If you are locked into another event platform, we can credit your ema platform fee during the overlap period when you sign an ema term of equal or longer length. Hard-cost services remain billable.
Switching reasons
Why teams switch to ema
The practical differences teams notice when they move event operations into a connected, modern workspace.
One platform, not three stitched together
Stova was formed by merging Aventri, MeetingPlay, and Aventri's virtual platform. The result is three different products with different interfaces, different terminology, and overlapping features. ema was designed as a single platform from day one — every feature works together consistently.
No duplicate work across subsystems
Stova users often report needing to enter the same information in multiple places because the merged products were not fully integrated. In ema, data flows through the entire system — update a speaker's details once and it reflects everywhere.
Fast onboarding, minimal training
Learning three merged interfaces takes time. ema's modern, consistent UI means your team can be productive quickly. The patterns are the same whether you are building a schedule, managing exhibitors, or sending emails.
Accessible pricing for any team size
Stova targets enterprise buyers with custom pricing. ema packages start from $499/month and are shaped around event volume, support needs, and included usage, with no per-seat pricing for the team members who need access.
