Licenses

The right packages for the right conference

SpreaView offers flexible licensing options designed to fit events of all sizes and budgets. Whether you’re running a small community meetup or a large-scale professional conference, selecting the right license is essential to unlocking the features you need.

Understanding the differences between license types helps you:

  • Ensure access to the appropriate features.
  • Align functionality with your event’s scale and complexity.
  • Budget effectively for your conference.

Available License Types

SpreaView provides three types of licenses, each tailored to a different type of event:

1. Community

Ideal for non-commercial, grassroots events such as user group meetups or free conferences. This license offers essential functionality to collect feedback and support basic reporting needs.

2. Professional

Designed for medium-sized, paid, or professionally organized events. This license unlocks enhanced features such as external integrations, more advanced analytics, and greater customization options.

3. Premium

Built for large conferences and organizations that require the full SpreaView feature set, including enterprise-level capabilities, expanded customization, and dedicated support options.


Choosing the correct license ensures your event can make the most of SpreaView’s capabilities, from feedback collection to real-time reporting and post-event insights.

This license is intended for community-driven events, such as:
