Airmeet is a virtual event platform founded in 2019 that focuses on creating engaging online experiences through features like virtual networking tables, stage presentations, and social lounge areas. The platform gained traction during the shift to remote events and positions itself as a more interactive alternative to traditional webinar tools. According to industry data, Airmeet has hosted over 100,000 events and serves customers ranging from startups to enterprise organizations. The platform offers speed networking with timed 1-on-1 video sessions, virtual booths for sponsors, backstage areas for speakers, and engagement analytics. Airmeet's pricing starts with a limited free tier for small events, but paid plans begin at approximately $99 per month. Both organizers and attendees must create accounts, and the platform is designed primarily for online events requiring video interaction. For organizers running in-person events or simple meetups, Airmeet introduces significant complexity that serves no purpose.
RealEvents works for any type of event - in-person, virtual, or hybrid - without requiring accounts, app downloads, or high-bandwidth internet connections. While Airmeet is built specifically for virtual event experiences with video networking tables, stage presentations, and social lounges, RealEvents gives you a simple event page that anyone can access immediately from any device. According to industry data, over 70% of events have returned to in-person or hybrid formats, meaning most organizers do not need a full virtual event platform. RealEvents focuses on the universal needs: a shareable event page with RSVP tracking, QR codes, and calendar integration. It takes about 10 seconds to create, costs nothing, and works without any account creation. For organizers who occasionally need video for hybrid events, they can pair RealEvents with any free video tool rather than paying $99 or more per month for Airmeet's specialized virtual infrastructure.
Yes, RealEvents is completely free with no subscription fees, no per-event charges, and no feature gating. Airmeet offers a limited free tier for very small events, but its paid plans start at approximately $99 per month and scale up significantly for larger events and enterprise features. According to industry data, the average virtual event platform subscription costs organizations between $1,200 and $3,600 per year. RealEvents eliminates this cost entirely while providing the core features most organizers need: event pages, RSVP tracking, QR codes, calendar integration, and CSV export.
If you have been using Airmeet primarily for basic event registration and do not need its virtual networking tables, stage presentations, or video-based social features, RealEvents offers a dramatically simpler alternative with faster setup and no account requirements. The transition is instant - create a new event page on RealEvents in seconds and share the link with your audience. For events that still need video interaction, you can use RealEvents for the registration and RSVP side while pairing it with any free video conferencing tool for the virtual component.
Airmeet provides virtual event hosting with specialized features like networking tables where attendees can join small-group video conversations, a virtual stage for presentations with audience interaction, social lounge areas for informal mingling, speed networking with timed 1-on-1 video sessions, and sponsor booth areas. These are capabilities designed specifically for online events that need interactive video experiences. RealEvents focuses on event pages and RSVP tracking without any video hosting features, keeping things simple for the majority of events that do not require a virtual venue infrastructure.
