Kohtaa publishes a free tier and its full per-event prices on this page. Figures for the other platforms are taken from their own public pricing pages, and anything a vendor does not publish is marked as not publicly disclosed rather than assumed. For European events where budget transparency and attendee friction matter, Kohtaa is a straightforward alternative to quote-based platforms.

Kohtaa tracks seven meaningful interactions between any two attendees, from first profile view to mutual endorsement. Research on trust and personal networks, including work by Robin Dunbar at Oxford, shows that professional trust is built through repeated, meaningful interactions over time, not a single encounter. Kohtaa makes this journey visible to attendees and measurable for organizers. The 7 Points of Contact is available on all tiers.
