Amego

Amego combines a branded event app, an AI-powered website companion and a web CMS for managing attendee experiences. It is best suited to teams running conferences, trade shows or other events where networking, engagement and sponsor lead capture matter alongside event logistics. Its breadth is appealing, but the paid tiers are aimed at sizable event programs rather than small one-off gatherings.

Overview

Amego brings attendee-facing tools and organizer controls into one platform. Teams can manage event content, branding, communications, attendee data and analytics in Amego Admin, while Sidekick Spark can be embedded on an event website with one line of code and trained on event content. Amego says branded apps are published under each customer’s own Apple and Google app store accounts, which gives teams control of the app-store presence but adds another piece to manage.

Founded in 2021, Amego identifies itself as Amego, Inc.; its About page names Scott Owens as founder and CEO. The platform is available on Android, iOS and the web.

Key features

Engagement, networking and sponsors

Personalized agendas, push notifications, maps, polls, surveys, Q&A and gamification give organizers several ways to keep attendees informed and involved. Networking includes messaging and meetings, while sponsor lead capture supports exhibitor activity. That combination is useful for events with active attendee and sponsor programs; teams seeking only a basic agenda app may not need such a broad toolkit.

AI guidance

Sidekick can nudge attendees, recommend options, help build schedules and match attendees. Beacon-aware cards can surface based on location, adding a venue-aware layer to guidance. Credits are shared across Sidekick surfaces and events, roll over to the next contracted year if unused, and are billed monthly when usage exceeds the allowance. Teams running several events should account for that shared pool and possible overages.

Integrations, security and support

Amego lists integrations including RainFocus, Cvent, Swoogo, Pointr, Voxo, Wicket, Google Cloud and AWS. It 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. Amego also says customer-owned attendee data is not sold or mined and is not used to train external models.

Standard support includes in-admin chat, help documentation, community access, product updates and email support with a 24-hour response. Premier support adds on-call live-event help and a stated 15-minute response time during 9am–9pm ET, a meaningful distinction for teams that need rapid assistance while an event is underway.

Pricing

Spark is free and includes 1,000 AI credits. It is described as best for events with 50 attendees or fewer, despite an unlimited-attendee plan label; the practical guidance points to smaller events. Base starts at $2,499 per year, billed annually, and includes 5,000 AI credits, 500 attendees and unlimited events. Elevate starts at $4,999 per year, billed annually, with 10,000 AI credits, 750 attendees and unlimited events. The higher tiers suit teams with larger attendee allowances or greater AI-credit needs; Base is the lower-cost paid route, while Spark avoids an annual fee for smaller events.

Enterprise has custom pricing and includes unlimited attendees, custom SSO, regionalized hosting and custom integrations. A separate SSO add-on also has custom pricing. Optional one-time purchases include Lead Scanning for $199 per device, a Branded Container App for $2,499 per app, and Amego Studio for $2,499 for app design customization. These add-ons can tailor the setup, but the device- and app-based charges can raise the cost beyond the annual plan.

Capacity figures differ across the plan and product descriptions: Base and Elevate list 500 and 750 attendees, while a separate attendee-capacity figure is 1,000. Teams should confirm the allowance for their chosen configuration before committing. Spark is the free option, and Amego also offers a free trial; no trial duration is stated.

Platforms

Amego supports Android, iOS and web. Branded apps are published through the customer’s own Apple and Google store accounts, rather than under a shared Amego app listing.

Who it's for

Amego is a strong fit for event marketers, organizers, internal event teams and agencies responsible for conferences, trade shows, corporate events or global tours. Sponsors and exhibitors can benefit from lead capture, while attendees get agenda, messaging and AI-guidance tools. Small events can start with Spark; teams needing more listed capacity can move to Base or Elevate. Organizations requiring unlimited attendees, custom SSO or regionalized hosting should consider Enterprise. It is less compelling for teams that need only a simple event schedule or cannot justify an annual paid plan.

Pros and cons

• Broad attendee toolkit: agendas, engagement features, messaging, meetings and sponsor lead capture cover more than event information alone.
• Web and app guidance: Sidekick works across event website and app surfaces, with location-aware cards as another way to guide attendees.
• Clear annual tiers: Base and Elevate state attendee and AI-credit allowances, while Spark provides a free starting point for smaller events.
• Capacity needs checking: the 500- and 750-attendee plan allowances differ from a separate 1,000-attendee capacity figure.
• Potential extra costs: AI overages are billed monthly, and several capabilities are separate purchases or custom-priced.

Alternatives

Event Mobile App Software is a useful starting point for comparing products in this category. Choose HEPCon instead if a free, offline-first agenda for programs under 50 contributions is the priority. Cvent is worth considering when its registration product’s free trial or its broader event platform features better fit the need. EventHex, Grip Onsite, Jybe and Navon Event Mobile App are other paid event-app options to compare.

Omnipress Mobile Event App may suit teams seeking quoted pricing based on event needs and an allowance of up to 5,000 attendees. PheedLoop is another paid event platform to compare, with a monthly Core Event Dashboard plan starting at $950.00 USD for 100–499 users.

Verdict

Choose Amego for event programs that need a branded attendee app, AI guidance, engagement and sponsor lead capture managed alongside event content in a web CMS. Its broad feature set and free Spark plan make it adaptable across event sizes, but the annual paid tiers, credit overages and inconsistent capacity figures warrant careful planning. Teams needing only basic event information or simpler pricing should look elsewhere.
