Eventzilla vs Fourwaves: at a glance
What is Eventzilla?
Eventzilla's feed wakes up after 18 months with two event-marketing blog posts.
Eventzilla's feed was silent from March 2025, when five new event landing-page themes shipped, until October 1, 2026, when two marketing posts appeared: one on building registration pages that convert and one on overhyped event marketing tactics. The rest of the feed is evergreen event-planning content from 2024.
What is Fourwaves?
Fourwaves doubles Free plan submissions to 50 and reworks reviewer assignment.
Fourwaves ships small dated updates most days. November 11 raised the Free plan from 25 to 50 submissions, and November 12 added a four-step Assign reviewers window. Earlier in November it brought offline mobile check-in for Pro organizers and saved email templates for Advanced and Pro.

Eventzilla
0.0MEETINGS
Eventzilla's feed wakes up after 18 months with two event-marketing blog posts.
◆ Current state
Eventzilla's feed was silent from March 2025, when five new event landing-page themes shipped, until October 1, 2026, when two marketing posts appeared: one on building registration pages that convert and one on overhyped event marketing tactics. The rest of the feed is evergreen event-planning content from 2024.
◆ Where it's heading
The blog has resumed, but with advice content rather than product news. The registration-page post sits close to the product's own registration pages, which may be where future product updates land.
◆ Prediction
Unclear from the feed; more marketing posts are likelier than a product release.
Fourwaves
5.0MEETINGS
Fourwaves doubles Free plan submissions to 50 and reworks reviewer assignment.
◆ Current state
Fourwaves ships small dated updates most days. November 11 raised the Free plan from 25 to 50 submissions, and November 12 added a four-step Assign reviewers window. Earlier in November it brought offline mobile check-in for Pro organizers and saved email templates for Advanced and Pro.
◆ Where it's heading
Most releases go to organizer tools for running the event and the review process, with features gated to paid plans. The Free plan increase is the first move in this run that widens the entry tier rather than adding to paid ones.
◆ Prediction
Expect more steps in the submission and review workflow to follow the new reviewer window; whether the Free plan change is part of a wider pricing revision is unclear from the entries.
