Cvent is built for large companies running dozens of conferences and corporate events each year — not for most small businesses. The biggest problem is price: at $10,000-$15,000+ per year, you'd need to run a serious volume of paid events just to break even. If you're a small event planning firm or association with complex, recurring events, it might make sense, but most small business owners will find tools like Eventbrite or Whova give them 80% of what they need at a fraction of the cost.
