Eventzilla vs HOMER
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Eventzilla and HOMER — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Eventzilla vs HOMER: 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 HOMER?
HOMER 11 closes an open mTLS listener and stops dropping ISUP from SIP-I calls.
HOMER's 11.0 pre-releases keep pairing security fixes with SIP-I decoding. 11.0.384 makes HEP and HTTPS ingest with mutual TLS and no CA refuse to start, where before they accepted any client, and runs all-in-one node reads in the DuckDB sandbox. It also stops the Decode window from dropping the ISUP part of multipart SIP-I INVITEs. 11.0.382 and 11.0.381 had already required tokens for the live SIP stream and admin rights for alert changes.

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.
HOMER
5.0MEETINGS
HOMER 11 closes an open mTLS listener and stops dropping ISUP from SIP-I calls.
◆ Current state
HOMER's 11.0 pre-releases keep pairing security fixes with SIP-I decoding. 11.0.384 makes HEP and HTTPS ingest with mutual TLS and no CA refuse to start, where before they accepted any client, and runs all-in-one node reads in the DuckDB sandbox. It also stops the Decode window from dropping the ISUP part of multipart SIP-I INVITEs. 11.0.382 and 11.0.381 had already required tokens for the live SIP stream and admin rights for alert changes.
◆ Where it's heading
Three releases in a week closed access gaps, which suggests a security review of the 11.0 line before a stable release. Alongside it, the work on SIP-I and ISUP decoding points at carrier and telco users who bridge SS7 and SIP.
◆ Prediction
Expect more fail-closed defaults and sandboxing in the next 11.0 builds, and possibly a published advisory for the mTLS issue.
