Kohtaa vs b2match: a brokerage-event platform or a light networking layer
b2match sells plans by participant package, from up to 100 to more than 1000 participants, and its pricing page asks you to talk to its sales team.

When is b2match the better fit?
b2match is the better fit for structured B2B brokerage events with hundreds of participants, where meetings are pre-scheduled for people. Its plan grid lists an AI meeting generator, reserved tables and booking rules. Kohtaa does not generate meeting schedules: attendees choose whom to ask.
It also suits events that need ticketing, check-in and badge printing in the same tool, all of which b2match lists in its plan grid, or the plan b2match describes as purpose-built for the Enterprise Europe Network. Kohtaa is not a ticketing tool and has no native app, no Lyyti sync yet and no virtual or hybrid sessions.
Frequently asked questions
Does b2match publish its prices?
Its pricing page shows plan names and features. The Basic, Professional and Professional plus plans show "Let's talk", and the page asks you to contact its sales team, so ask b2match for a quote for your participant package. Kohtaa's prices are published: 100 EUR or 950 EUR per event, or 3,900 EUR per year, VAT included.
Is Kohtaa suitable for a brokerage event with hundreds of companies?
It depends on the format. Kohtaa is built for people meeting people: attendees find each other and request meetings. It has been measured at 300 concurrent attendees at a single event on live production. It does not generate a brokerage schedule, so a programme built on pre-matched meetings fits b2match better.
Can Kohtaa generate a meeting schedule automatically?
No. There is no matching algorithm. The organizer sets the meeting slots, and attendees request meetings with the people they want to meet.
Can we run several events a year on one licence?
Yes. Kohtaa Annual is 3,900 EUR per year for unlimited events with no attendee limit, VAT included. b2match publishes a multi event license for unlimited events over 12 months within your participant package.
Does either one need an app?
Kohtaa runs in the browser and there is nothing to install. b2match describes its communities plan as a cloud-based web platform and lists a white label mobile app as an add-on; see their pricing page for the details.
