Bevy vs ClickMeeting

Bevy is a community and events platform built for companies that run networks of local chapters, user groups and meetups. It was spun out of Startup Grind, the global founder community, in 2017 by Derek Andersen and co-founders who needed one system to run hundreds of city chapters consistently. It now powers programs such as Google Developer Groups and Salesforce's Trailblazer Community Groups, plus Snowflake's community.

The base platform is a white-labelled, SEO-friendly community hub with unlimited members, chapter leaders, events and emails. Teams pick a usage type (forum, user groups and events, or all-in-one), then add modules such as a custom domain, Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo or Eloqua sync, SAML SSO, social sign-in, the Bevy Virtual Conference product and AI-powered community search. Chapter pages handle event creation, registration, check-in, newsletters and automations, while central teams see attendance and engagement across every chapter.

Bevy fits enterprise developer relations, customer marketing and community teams that run in-person and virtual events at global scale and want the data in their CRM. It is overkill for a single online community or creator, pricing is quote-only, and its forum features are less rich than Discourse or Circle. Luma is simpler for one-off events, and Hivebrite suits alumni-style networks.

In July 2025 Bevy acquired Intros AI and used it to launch an AI Engagement Hub with agents for member introductions, knowledge answers, content creation, moderation and sentiment.

ClickMeeting is a webinar and online meeting platform based in Gdańsk, Poland. It started around 2011 inside the email marketing company GetResponse and became an independent company in 2016. It reports more than 15 million users a year and is ISO 27001:2022 certified. Its core job is to run live, on-demand and automated webinars in the browser, with no download needed for attendees, plus the registration, payments and follow-up around them.

Features include registration pages, polls and surveys, screen sharing, breakout rooms, recording, AI transcription, certificates, paid webinars with Stripe or PayPal checkout and discount codes, and streaming to YouTube and Facebook. Plans are priced by attendee count: Live covers real-time events in tiers from 50 to 1,000 attendees, Automated adds pre-recorded webinars that run on a schedule with automatic reminders and follow-ups, and Enterprise supports events up to 10,000 viewers. There is a 14-day free trial for 25 attendees.

ClickMeeting fits trainers, educators, SaaS marketers and small businesses that want a reliable, easy webinar tool with built-in monetization. It is less suited to large hybrid conferences or deep marketing automation. GoTo Webinar is the long-time enterprise standard, Livestorm offers a more modern event workflow with stronger CRM sync, and Demio or WebinarJam focus on marketing-driven evergreen funnels.

Buying tip: price tiers jump with attendee count (Live is $48 for 50 attendees but $335 for 1,000 monthly), so pick the tier that matches your typical live audience and save up to 20% with annual billing.
