What makes Samaaro different?
One profile per person, across every event
RSVPs, attendance, sessions and meeting outcomes build on the contact, so the next invite list starts warm. In Accelevents, records belong to a single event.
- Every RSVP, session and meeting on one timeline
- Segments that span every past event
- Audiences built from CRM contacts and past guests
See what the calendar cost, and what it returned
Approved budget, actual spend and pipeline influenced, across every event in the programme. Accelevents has no budget module at any tier, so that view cannot be built there.
- Spend and pipeline side by side, per event and per quarter
- Cost per attendee and ROI by region or event type
- Revenue attributed back to the event that created it
Your rep knows the moment their account walks in
Prospects are mapped to reps before the event, and the owner gets an alert with deal context the second they check in. Accelevents lead capture is built for your exhibitors, not your own team.
- Prospects mapped to their rep before doors open
- Arrival alert with open deal value and last touch
- Meeting outcome logged to the CRM deal on the spot

Samaaro vs Accelevents: FAQs
For marketing-led event programmes, yes. Teams at ICICI Lombard, PepsiCo, Informa Markets, Dr. Reddy’s and Bureau Veritas run their programmes on Samaaro. The difference is architectural rather than cosmetic: Accelevents organises everything around a single event, while Samaaro organises around the person and the programme, so the audience, the reporting and the setup carry from one event to the next.
Four cases, and we will say so on the call. A single flagship event that needs the platform shaped around it. A fundraiser where the auction is central, since the product began as a charity auction tool. An RFID-heavy trade show where event-day hardware depth decides it. And any evaluation where SOC 2 Type 2 is a hard requirement, because they hold it and we do not.
Not as of their public release log. There is no field to record what an event cost at any tier, so spend cannot be shown against the pipeline it created inside the platform, and that view gets rebuilt in a spreadsheet. Samaaro includes a budget planner and a leadership view with approved budget, actual spend, cost per attendee and pipeline influenced across the whole calendar.
In Samaaro, yes: one dashboard across every event, filtered by quarter, region, event type, job title or channel, with year-on-year trends. In Accelevents, cross-event and custom reporting starts on the Business plan and reports attendance rather than money, and reviewers describe exporting to Excel to get the fields they wanted.
Not as a native channel. Their attendee messaging is email and in-app push, and WhatsApp does not appear on their public release log. Samaaro sends invites, confirmations, passes, reminders and follow-ups on WhatsApp and email from one workflow, with delivery and read tracking on both.
Samaaro is ISO 27001:2022 certified and compliant with GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and PCI DSS, with SSO, SAML and role-based access. Accelevents holds SOC 2 Type 2 and we do not. If SOC 2 is a hard requirement, raise it early and we will walk your security team through our trust center.
Yes, and migration is included. A named onboarding manager moves contacts, event history, templates and CRM connections across, and you can run your next event on Samaaro before bringing the rest of the calendar over. One practical warning whoever you choose: Accelevents limits how long you can access event data after an event closes and charges to extend that window, so export your past attendee lists while your account is still open.
Yes. Accelevents operates from the United States, with data in US data centres and pricing in USD. Samaaro contracts and invoices in INR, AED and USD, supports local payment methods, staffs support for India and Gulf event days, and builds WhatsApp into every guest journey.
