“Not listed” means we could not find it on the vendor’s pages that day; it is not a statement that the vendor lacks it. Sociana, the publisher, quotes in rupees with GST and sends WhatsApp messages through the organisation’s own WhatsApp Business account; see Sociana pricing.
FAQ
Webex Events (Socio) alternatives: questions
Why do organisers look for a Webex Events alternative?
The cited reason is the licensing change: events moved into Suite Enterprise Agreements and the standalone Socio product was retired, leaving customers to choose a new platform. Webex.com blocks non-browser fetches, so we could not read its current event pages and rely on the socio.events site and press reports.
How does pricing compare with Sociana?
Webex Events listed no public pricing; it was contracted inside an enterprise agreement. Sociana quotes per event or annual programme by scope, in rupees with GST, with no enterprise agreement required. Compare on the number of attendees, days and modules in a written quote.
