What is DIONYS?

DIONYS turns event and group inquiries into ready-made offers in minutes via a self-service configurator — strong on the inquiry front end, without an end-to-end event-management backend behind it.

A polished AI offer configurator that replaces email ping-pong, generating a bookable offer from the guest's selections in about two minutes.

Why teams switch from DIONYS to Univents

1

Univents covers the entire post-inquiry process — staff planning, production lists, function sheets and finance documents — whereas users report that exactly this part is still missing in DIONYS.

2

Univents includes DACH finance and compliance features (invoices in your own branding, XRechnung, DATEV, GoBD), which DIONYS does not advertise.

3

Univents offers a full AI assistant that drives the whole app by chat and voice memo and works on your own data, rather than using AI only for offer calculation.

FAQ: Univents vs DIONYS

Is DIONYS a good Univents alternative?

For pure inquiry and offer management, DIONYS is a strong, modern tool with a fast AI configurator. But anyone who also wants to handle staff, production, function sheets, invoices and suppliers in one system after the inquiry will find that end-to-end backend in Univents, which DIONYS does not yet provide.

What does DIONYS cost?

DIONYS publicly lists Core at EUR 200/month and Professional at EUR 500/month (including AI recommendations); Enterprise is on request and a Basic tier is not yet available. Pricing is location-based and partly includes a revenue-share component.

Does DIONYS offer full event management?

No, the focus is the front end from inquiry to offer. Features such as staff planning, production lists, function sheets or finance documents are not advertised; users report falling back to separate tools for those. Univents covers these steps end to end.
