Splash centers on event marketing — branded pages, themes, and guest email. Here's how each piece maps to Novex, and what you gain and lose in the move. Test it all on the free Beam plan first.
| Currently | With Novex |
|---|---|
| Splash event pages & Themes | Novex event microsites with reusable theming and your logo, colors, and custom domain — agenda, speakers, and sponsors sections update as you publish |
| Guest lists & RSVPs | Novex registrations with ticket types and waitlists, backed by a real CRM (leads, deals, clients) instead of a per-event list |
| Splash Host check-in app | Novex check-in kiosk: QR scan or name lookup, walk-in registration, on-demand badge printing, and offline mode — the same door workflow, plus a badge designer and a Windows kiosk app |
| Event emails (invites, reminders, follow-ups) | Novex email campaigns per event, plus WhatsApp campaigns and drip sequences — bilingual (English/Arabic) |
| Salesforce / Marketo integrations | — No native Salesforce/Marketo connectors today. Novex offers CSV/Excel import and export for moving lists between systems; if deep martech sync is core to your workflow, weigh this honestly |
| Post-event follow-up | Novex surveys & feedback plus event reports and an ROI dashboard, so the follow-up loop lives next to the event data |
| Your guest data | Bulk-import your Splash guest lists from CSV or Excel in minutes; export back out any time |
The bigger difference is scope: Novex also runs the operational and commercial side — quotations that become invoices (including Saudi e-invoicing where required), budgets, vendors, sponsors and exhibitors with floor plans — which Splash leaves to other tools.
If polished, on-brand event pages and tight marketing-campaign integration are your top priority, Splash is a strong, design-led choice. Novex is the better fit when you want that plus registration, CRM, on-site check-in, and invoicing in one platform. Test both against a real event to see which matches your workflow.
For teams that want event pages plus the full operational lifecycle, Novex covers registration, CRM, on-site check-in and badges, and invoicing with transparent pricing. Cvent suits large enterprises; Eventbrite suits public ticketing. The comparison above lays out the options.
As of 2026, Splash uses quote-based pricing — contact Splash for current rates. Novex publishes its pricing publicly — a free Beam plan, with paid plans from $299/month.

Novex's built-in check-in kiosk covers the same on-site workflow: QR-code scan or name search, walk-in registration at the door, badges printed on demand, and an offline mode for unreliable venue Wi-Fi. It's part of the platform rather than a separate app, and there's a dedicated Windows kiosk build for locked-down stations.
Export your guests from Splash as a spreadsheet, then use Novex's CSV/Excel bulk import — contacts land in the CRM and attendee lists attach to your event. Rebuild your event page with Novex's microsite theming, send a test campaign, and run one real event on the free Beam plan before switching over.
Yes — agencies are one of Novex's core segments. You get branded event pages per client event, registration and check-in, and the commercial layer agencies actually bill with: quotations, invoices, budgets, and vendor tracking in one place. Public pricing starts free, so testing it against a live brief costs nothing.
