Why Do Customers Choose vFairs Over Goldcast?

Complete Hybrid Event Solution

vFairs connects your in-person and virtual attendees in one unified platform. Unlike Goldcast’s webinar-only approach, we handle on-site check-in, live streaming, hybrid networking, and more.

Qoute Icon

I reached out to vFairs after using their platform at a conference. We had an upcoming event 6 weeks away, so my intent was to gather information for future events, but they walked me through the feasibility of implementing the platform for our event in the immediate future. With their support we were able to turn our in-person-only event into a hybrid event and expand our attendee base. Our project manager, Syed Usama Amir, was with us every step of the way and at all hours for support.

Immersive Virtual Environments

We offer fully customizable 3D environments with branded venues, interactive networking spaces, and built-in gamification; whereas, Goldcast offers standard video interfaces.

Qoute Icon

“The platform is very user-friendly and visually engaging for the participants (attendees and exhibitors alike). What I like most about it is how innovative and immersive it is. From booth interactions to interactive live (and recorded) webinars, the platform offers a seamless experience for all. I also enjoy the customizability of the platform. We enjoy designing a new theme for each virtual expo, and the booths and exhibit halls reflect the new theme/design very well!”

Advanced Reporting

Basic webinar analytics don’t cut it for complex events. vFairs gives you real-time analytics on 50+ metrics, automated lead scoring with CRM integration, and exhibitor dashboards showing booth performance.

Qoute Icon

“The platform had good reporting on attendee metrics, including booth visits, time on site, webinars attendee, etc. These reports, coupled with the live zoom reports, gave a good picture of how engaged attendees were at the conference.”

What Customers Say About Goldcast

Setting up events is a huge pain.

“It is not intuitive and there are so many steps. If you want to make changes, there are multiple places where the change needs to be reflected. It would be nice if there was a way to start and stop recordings without having it tied to the event/schedule date and time.”

User
Verified User in IT & Services

Build events yourself with drag-and-drop tools, or let your dedicated project manager do the heavy lifting. Zero technical expertise required.

Subpar data and reporting features.

“It’ll integrate with some things, but the data structures never seemed to quite align. Reports take forever to generate and still leave questions unanswered. You really need to dig into the data using a third-party reporting tool after you export as much as you can into a CSV file.”

Track every attendee interaction e.g. booth visits, downloads, content views & session attendance. Export comprehensive reports.

Limited customization options.

“The theme designer button colors were connected to the nav colors in the chat bar. What looks good as a button looks terrible as a nav link. The first year, they fixed it. Year 2, they were totally apathetic & wouldn't help. The result - illegible navigation at the event.”

With vFairs, you get complete white-labeling with custom domains, fully branded virtual venues, and bespoke designs that reflect your brand.

Limited event marketing options.

“There’s a need for deeper and broader customization of web pages. The email templates customization are fine but registration page has limitations.”

Promote your event from one place: custom websites, automated email campaigns, social media tools, and branded registration pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fully whitelabel the event URL and design in Goldcast?

Goldcast offers branding (colors/logos), but the layout is template-based and often retains a "Goldcast look and feel."

vFairs provide complete white-labeling. From a custom domain (e.g., events.yourcompany.com) to a fully bespoke virtual venue that mimics your actual office or brand style, your attendees will never feel like they are "using a tool.

How does the customer support compare on Goldcast vs. vFairs?

Goldcast is "Self-Service," meaning your team is responsible for building the registration pages, configuring the backend, and troubleshooting. This works if you have a small team and the event scope is limited.

On the other hand, vFairs' clients get a dedicated Project Manager. Customers can build the event themselves with easy to use wizards and page builders. However, your assigned project manager can co-create the event with you and can help you manage your exhibitors and speakers too.

Which platform is better for sponsor ROI and monetization?

vFairs provides exponentially more sponsor value: custom booths, branded networking lounges, comprehensive lead retrieval tools, downloadable attendee engagement reports, and high-visibility placement throughout the event. Many vFairs clients generate $50K-$500K+ in sponsor revenue from a single event.

Goldcast's webinar format offers limited sponsor visibility; typically logo placement and maybe a brief mention. If sponsor revenue is critical to your event success, vFairs is the clear choice.
