Brand Control

Your events. Your brand. No limits.

Splash gives you real, no holds barred design freedom. Imagine fully custom event sites, flexible registration flows, and complete branding control from invite to follow-up. The result is events that feel like extensions of your brand, not a vendor's template. With Zuddl, customization options are largely limited to logo and color, which means most events end up looking and feeling similar regardless of the brand behind them.

Why Splash Wins

With Splash, we finally have events that actually look like our brand. The flexibility in site design and registration flows is night and day compared to what we had before. Our events feel premium now.

Built for Scale

Repeatable programs, without the friction.

Splash powers repeatable, branded field programs like roadshows, regional events, executive dinners at scale. Clone, customize, and launch in minutes. Zuddl is optimized for one-off virtual summits. Running a field event program? You'll feel the friction immediately.

Why Splash Wins

We run over 80 field events a year and Splash makes it manageable. Cloning a template, customizing it for the region, and launching takes our team less than an hour. It's the only platform we've found that actually scales with us.

Analytics & ROI

Pipeline impact, not just headcounts.

Splash enables you to prove event ROI. Use advanced native integrations to track real business outcomes — pipeline influenced, revenue attributed, engagement depth. Give leadership the numbers that matter, and prove that events matter. Zuddl's analytics focus primarily on attendance metrics. For teams that need to demonstrate ROI, that often means exporting data and building reports outside the platform.

Why Splash Wins

Splash gave us real visibility into pipeline for the first time. We can now show leadership exactly which events are influencing revenue — not just who showed up. That reporting capability alone justified the platform switch.

User Experience

Built for event marketer, not IT departments.

Splash is designed so your team can move fast without needing developer support or a manual in hand. The platform is intuitive — with a drag-and-drop event site builder, one-click event cloning, governed brand-safe templates, and workflow automation for invites, reminders, follow-ups, and CRM updates built by marketers for marketers. Role-based team collaboration, a mobile app, and a stable track record across thousands of events mean your whole org can move in sync, without the handholding. Zuddl users, by contrast, consistently report a learning curve, template constraints that hit walls fast, clunky duplication, buggy features, and a mobile app that's barely a year old, all adding up to heavy onboarding overhead. When you're managing a high-volume event calendar, time spent fighting a platform is time not spent on events.

Why Splash Wins

Check-in used to be our biggest day-of headache. With Splash, we set up badge printing in minutes and our onsite team had zero issues at the door. It just works — and that reliability matters enormously when you're in front of customers and prospects.

Integrations & Tech Stack

Your CRM should know what happened at your events.

Splash connects natively to Salesforce, Marketo, HubSpot, and more. Registration data, check-ins, and engagement signals flow directly into your CRM in real time, no middleware, no manual exports. For enterprise teams with complex data requirements, Splash's open API gives your engineering team full programmatic access to event data, so Splash fits cleanly into custom pipelines, proprietary CRMs, and bespoke internal systems.

Why Splash Wins

The Salesforce integration is seamless. Event data flows into our CRM in real time with no manual syncing, no middleware, no surprises. Our sales team sees attendee activity the moment it happens and can follow up the same day.

FAQ

Here are the questions we hear most often when teams are evaluating both platforms.

We run 100+ events a year. Which platform scales better?

Splash was built for exactly this. Customers routinely run hundreds — even thousands — of events a year on the platform. That's not an outlier; it's the core use case.

Clone events, apply branded templates across your program, and automate workflows so your team isn't rebuilding from scratch every time. Brand consistency and operational efficiency scale with your program, not against it.

Zuddl users, by contrast, consistently report that running frequent, repeatable events feels clunky. When volume is your reality, that friction compounds fast.

For teams running high-volume programs across regions and event types, Splash is the platform purpose-built for high-quality, branded scale.

Can Splash handle both virtual and in-person events?

Yes, and everything in between. Splash is built for the full event spectrum, and that flexibility is one of the platform's core strengths.

For virtual events, you have options. Bring your own streaming technology or use Splash's native streaming solutions, depending on what fits your program. Either way, you get the same brand control, registration experience, and attendee data you'd expect from any Splash event.

For in-person events, Splash's onsite tooling is production-ready — check-in, badging, and attendee management built to perform reliably when it matters most. Zuddl's onsite tools, by contrast, are still in beta and often require third-party workarounds to fill the gaps.

For teams running hybrid events, or events that require an attendee app or more bespoke onsite capabilities, Splash's integration with Cvent makes it easy to flex into more complex use cases without leaving your event marketing workflow behind.

Splash has also been powering ticketed events for over a decade, so if selling tickets is part of your event mix, that's a time-tested solution for every event size.

The short version: whether you're running a small field event, a large virtual webinar, a multi-session conference, or a hybrid experience with thousands of attendees, Splash is ready to handle it.

What if we mainly run virtual events right now, but plan to scale in-person?

Choosing the right foundation now saves you from a painful migration later.

Splash's virtual capabilities are proven and fully native — not a bolt-on. And when you're ready to go in-person, your templates, workflows, integrations, and brand standards all carry over. No relearning the platform, no rebuilding your program. Onsite tooling is production-ready when you are. As programs grow into hybrid events or multi-session conferences, the Cvent integration means you'll never outgrow the platform.

The question isn't just which platform works for your events today. It's which platform won't slow you down when your program evolves.

Zuddl markets itself as 'all-in-one.' Can Splash be your all-in-one platform?

Yes — and the real question is depth, not breadth. Zuddl covers a wide surface area at a shallow level, particularly on customization, repeatable programs, and onsite tooling.

Splash delivers real depth across field events, virtual, multi-session conferences, and ticketed experiences — where it matters most: brand control, program automation, onsite reliability, and actionable analytics. Need to go bigger? Native multi-session capabilities, flexible streaming options, and Cvent integrations mean you can scale without switching platforms.

Whatever your event mix looks like now or in the future, Splash is built to handle it.
