Arena 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

About Arena

Arena is a virtual and hybrid events platform that is simple, scalable, customisable, robust and affordable - everything that event organisers need.

Each event on Arena is built around a set of Rooms: Lobby, Stage, Video Breakout, and Audio Breakout. Each room includes an interactive live video and chat stream, and can hold from 2 to 100,000 attendees. You can have an unlimited number of rooms in each event. Arena also gives you a registration platform out of the box, with useful features like custom ticket types and custom attendee information. You can also use your own platform and upload attendees in bulk.

Arena integrates with the leading online broadcast studios, such as ReStream and StreamYard, or you can simply plug in Zoom, YouTube, Vimeo and many other video sources. You can also connect with custom RTMP or HLS if you want to go all out with your video production.

Most importantly, Arena is designed by event organisers, for event organisers. It's the little things like advanced chat moderation, passwordless sign in, fully GDPR compliant data policy and many other features that make running a world-class event easy.

Pros:

I've become increasingly disillusioned with the virtual event software out there. Can be really expensive, and you're often forced into long contracts. How refreshing then to find something flexible, easy to use, and approachable. Looks great too. Very happy.

Cons:

Nothing really, it does everything I needed.
