Back in January 2021, we announced the launch of our free event service. Since then, 41,000 people signed up and created over 1,200 events, with more and more organizers trusting Canapii with their event planning and execution. We are in a business where we get to connect with event organizers and individuals from all walks of life, learn from one another and collaborate on all kinds of projects - and in exchange, we give back.
That is why we made changes to the free event plan: empowering smaller events and not-for-profits by removing their barriers to entry and improving their overall event experience.
We raised the limit because smaller events on our platform were, more often than not, restricted by the number of people who could attend. With more events taking place on Canapii than ever, we gathered feedback on everything from the design of the platform to the user journey and the available functionalities, and kept upgrading the tools and solutions organizers need for their events.

From customized registration attributes to specific content viewing groups, organizers could now entirely personalize the attendee journey. The table below shows a high-level list of some of the features included in the free event plan.

Canapii's Motivator and Driver packages offer a panoply of additional features and solutions that might be more tailored to your needs.
