Comparison guide

Jifflenow helps schedule meetings. Knowhere helps run events.

Q: Is Jifflenow still its own product after the Cvent acquisition?

Cvent acquired Jifflenow in January 2024. Jifflenow now sells as part of the Cvent platform under Cvent | Jifflenow and is positioned as Cvent's appointment scheduling solution. The product still exists. The buying motion runs through Cvent.

Q: How much does Jifflenow cost?

Jifflenow does not publish pricing. As part of Cvent, contracts are custom-quoted based on volume, modules, and integrations. Public references put Jifflenow deals in the high five to low six figures per year, consistent with the Fortune 1000 customer base. Knowhere is $99 per month on Team, $299 per month on Business, with Enterprise custom-quoted.

Q: Who is Jifflenow built for?

Fortune 1000 companies with dedicated event operations teams running hundreds of meetings across many large events per year. Knowhere is built for the mid-market exhibitor running 4 to 20 events a year with 10 to 100 reps.

Q: Can I migrate from Jifflenow to Knowhere?

Yes. Most teams switching from Jifflenow are leaving because their event volume or budget no longer justifies enterprise pricing, or the Cvent procurement cycle slowed their team down. Migration is typically a single-event pilot, then full cutover at the next renewal.

Q: Does Knowhere integrate with Salesforce and HubSpot like Jifflenow does?

CRM Sync for HubSpot and Salesforce is coming in Q3 and will be available on the Enterprise tier. It is not live yet. Jifflenow's native CRM integrations are more mature today, so if deep CRM sync is a hard requirement right now, factor that into your decision.

Q: Is Knowhere enterprise-ready?

For Business-tier deals up to mid-market enterprise, yes. Knowhere runs Postgres Row-Level Security on every table, SAML SSO on Business and Enterprise, Stripe-handled payments, and RFC-compliant calendar invites. For Fortune 1000 scale with hundreds of meetings per show and dedicated EBC programs, Jifflenow inside Cvent is the better fit.

Same job, without the enterprise price tag or the quarter-long rollout.

The verdict

Built for the Fortune 1000. Priced for it too.

Cvent acquired Jifflenow in January 2024 and pulled it into a 4,000-person enterprise platform. The procurement cycle stretched. The roadmap competes for engineering attention. The price still starts in the high five figures. Knowhere is the modern alternative for mid-market teams that have outgrown spreadsheets but are not ready for a six-figure procurement cycle.

The shift

From 12-week procurement to 5-minute signup.

Same workflow. A completely different way to buy.

02 / Where each wins

The honest breakdown.

Both products are real. Here is where each one actually fits.

Where Jifflenow fits

For the Fortune 1000 enterprise.

Jifflenow is enterprise priced, Fortune 500 focused, and implementation heavy. It is built around meeting scheduling and is slow to innovate. Even teams the size of Verizon struggled to justify a point tool that handled one slice of the workflow.

Multi-step approval workflows for executive briefings
Three native CRM integrations out of the box
Customer success teams sized for Fortune 1000 accounts
Executive Briefing Center workflows ready to deploy
Now bundled inside the Cvent event tech platform

Where Knowhere is different

For the mid-market exhibitor.

Knowhere is self-serve and accessible from $99 a month. You can be live in an afternoon instead of a quarter. It coordinates the whole event, people, meetings, spaces, and outcomes, not just the meeting booking.

Attendees get Know It All, AI event search that answers schedule, room, and meeting questions in plain language.

Published pricing from $99 per month
Self-serve signup, live in 5 minutes
Mobile-first rep experience built for the show floor
Monthly or annual contracts, cancel anytime
Dual-role design with separate manager and rep apps

03 / Which to pick

Match the tool to your scale.

Less about features and more about which buying motion fits your team and your event calendar.
