Pricing explained
SocianaWhova pricing explained: what is published, what is quoted, what it adds up to
Whova does not publish prices. Its pricing page asks five questions about format, duration, attendance band, events per year and referral source, then routes to a 20-minute consultant demo. Quotes are in US dollars, and third-party commentary describes low-to-mid four figures per event, which we have not verified. A worked estimate for 300, 1,000 or 3,000 attendees is therefore not derivable from public data.
Whova is widely used by Indian medical and academic conferences, so the product is proven locally.

Dollar figures are converted at 87 rupees to the dollar, the rate used in our research on 19 Oct 2026. Estimates exclude GST, other taxes and bank or card charges. They are arithmetic on published units, not quotes.
Hidden costs and add-ons
- Per-event figure, ticketing fee, storage or upload limit and renewal uplift are not published; ask for each in writing.
- Quotes are in US dollars, so foreign-exchange and card or wire charges fall on your finance team.
- Ask your chartered accountant how an invoice from an overseas vendor is treated for GST before comparing it with a rupee quote.
"Not published" means we could not find it on the vendor page on 19 Oct 2026; it is not a claim that the vendor hides it.

For Indian buyers
Is Whova worth it for Indian buyers?
Whova is widely used by Indian medical and academic conferences, so the product is proven locally. The India-specific cost is administrative: dollar quotes, US support hours and no listed WhatsApp channel or GST invoicing. It is worth a quote if a conference app with abstract and speaker tools is the main need and your finance team can pay in dollars. It is a weaker fit if you need rupee invoices or per-guest hospitality workflows.

- Whova is widely used by Indian medical and academic conferences (29 of the latest 30 India App Store reviews were five-star on 19 Oct 2026). Quotes are in US dollars; no GST invoicing or WhatsApp channel is described.
Worth it when
Whova fits
- conferences and academic or association meetings that want a proven, widely installed attendee app
- organisers who value public review volume and a large catalogue of past case studies
- events that need abstract submission and speaker tools inside the same platform
Less of a fit when
Look elsewhere if
- per-guest flights, rooms and pickups published to each participant at a hospitality-heavy meet
- recurring employee programmes, wellness challenges or weddings
