Momentus structures operations at large sites; your venue runs on a stream of inquiries to price
Momentus structures operations at convention centers, campuses, and arenas well, with its exhibitor and registration modules. Your venue lives on something else: inquiries for meetings, conferences, parties, and launches, often sent to several venues at once. You price them, you follow up, then you prepare the event with the caterer and the AV team. Here is where the gap shows.
Your inquiries arrive by email and from booking platforms, written in free text. Momentus describes inquiry entry with deduplication, not reading those emails
With JoinwaysJoinways reads the emails in the inbox you connect: booking platforms, your contact address, your website form. Duplicates are spotted, and you see whether a colleague has replied
Your catalog changes from one inquiry to the next. Momentus is quoted on the scope of your workflows, integrations, and data migration: the tool gets scoped before your first proposal goes out
With JoinwaysYou edit your catalog yourself: flat rate, per person, or tiered, with a tax rate per line. The next proposal applies it
You don't sell booths or tickets. Momentus's exhibitor and registration modules are sold separately: check what you would actually use
With JoinwaysJoinways focuses on what you sell: each space has its calendar, and the general session and breakouts are booked on the same event, each with its headcount. Combinable rooms and setup time are counted
No price or trial is published: you can't judge the tool on your own inquiries before the sales conversation
With JoinwaysPricing is public, and the trial runs for 30 days, connected to your inbox, alongside your current tool
The proposal is out and needs a signature: in Momentus, automated follow-ups go through Workflow Builder and signing through DocuSign, two paid add-ons
With JoinwaysScheduled follow-ups go out until it is signed, and the client signs online from the proposal, with nothing to add

What you can check during the trial
On your own inquiries, alongside your current tools.
Per month billed annually, up to 25 spaces
Pricing depends on the number of spaces: $69 for up to 5, $119 for up to 12, $199 for up to 25. Beyond that, custom pricing. Unlimited users.
Vendors without an account
Caterer, AV, security: each gets a link to the BEO, without prices, and you see who has read which version.
Your spaces in numbers
Win rate by channel, signed revenue, and the occupancy of each space are in the reports, with no export.
The venues where the gap matters
The formats of an independent venue, without those of an expo center.
Conferences, offsites, and conventions
General session in the morning, breakouts in the afternoon: each room has its time slot and headcount on the same event. The BEO gives the schedule for each one.
Launches, parties, and cocktail receptions
The space, catering, AV, and staffing on one proposal. If an agency is planning the event, the proposal is addressed to the agency.
Trainings and meetings
A room for a full or half day, breaks included, priced per person. A returning client finds their previous proposals.
