Comparison guide

Knowhere vs Jifflenow, now part of Cvent.

Jifflenow built the meeting automation category. Cvent bought it in 2024. If you are not a Fortune 1000 customer with an existing Cvent contract, there is a faster, cheaper, more modern way to run customer meetings at trade shows.

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.
