Why teams switch from iVvy to Univents
Univents is German-language and tailored to the DACH market — including XRechnung, DATEV export and GoBD-compliant finance, which an English-language platform geared to hotel chains does not provide.
Univents also covers the operational depth after the sale — staff and shift planning plus production and material planning for caterers, whereas iVvy's run sheets target the schedule rather than staffing and production.
Univents ships an AI assistant across the entire tool, whereas iVvy's AI is so far limited to automated proposal generation.
Pricing compared
7-day free trial, no credit card. Then from €55/month for quotes or from €299/month for the full platform — fair and transparent.
Mostly sales-led; publicly cited entry prices are around USD 150/month for the event module and about USD 250/month for the venue module, with larger setups quoted individually. Product and support are English-language.
