Qondor Vs. Lyyti; What's the difference?
Both Lyyti and Qondor help teams running events. But they are designed for different stages of the workflow and different types of teams. Here is how they are positioned.
-
Lyyti
Strong on registration, communication, and attendee experience.
Lyyti is a well-established event management platform with roots in Finland, serving customers across Europe. Its core strengths are event registration, attendee communication, feedback collection, and reporting on event success metrics.
Teams that primarily need to manage registrations, send invitations, handle ticketing, and gather post-event feedback across a wide range of event types will find Lyyti a capable and user-friendly choice. It is used across corporate, educational, and non-profit sectors.Lyyti

Built for the full commercial workflow of meetings and events agencies.
Qondor is built specifically for event agencies, travel agencies, TMCs, DMCs, and venues who run events as a commercial business. The platform connects the entire workflow from client request to final reconciliation: proposals, budgets, contracts, supplier coordination, attendee management, invoicing, and reporting.
For teams where margin control, client proposals, and financial accuracy are as important as the event itself, Qondor is purpose-built for that complexity. Everything is connected in one platform, so nothing has to be rebuilt or manually transferred between systems.

Winning and managing the business, not just running the event.
For agencies and travel companies, the ability to create and win client proposals, track budgets in real time, and ensure every accepted service is billed correctly is central to the business. This is where a registration platform and a commercial events platform have fundamentally different scope.
In Qondor, proposals, budgets, and invoicing are all connected to the same project. You can create a branded digital proposal, share it with the client for online approval, and convert it to a contract in a single step. Update a cost and it flows through to the budget. When the event is delivered, invoice specifications are generated directly from the accepted proposal lines, with no manual rebuild required.
-
Knowing your margins on every project, not just at year end.
For event agencies and TMCs operating on tight margins across multiple concurrent projects, real-time visibility over what has been sold, what has been delivered, and what has been invoiced is not a nice-to-have. It is the difference between a profitable business and one that is constantly catching up.
How Qondor handles it:
Qondor keeps the original budget, the accepted offer, the signed contract, and invoiced amounts all in the same place. Supplier costs can be reconciled within the project. Multi-currency and VAT are handled automatically. Real-time reporting across projects, teams, and offices means managers have a live view of commercial performance without waiting for manual summaries from their team.
-
Attendee management.
Both platforms manage attendees. The difference is what the attendee data is connected to. In an agency or TMC context, attendee information is not standalone. It feeds room allocations, catering requirements, transport bookings, supplier communications, and ultimately the final invoice.
How Lyyti approaches it.
Lyyti's attendee management is feature-rich from a registration and communication perspective: customisable forms, email automation, ticketing, badge printing, check-in, and post-event feedback. For organisations whose primary need is managing participants at the event level, this is a solid offering.

How Qondor approaches it.
In Qondor, attendee management is part of the same project that holds the budget, the proposal, supplier costs, and the final invoice. Registration forms, room allocations, dietary requirements, session management, and SMS and email communications are all connected to the live project. Changes in attendee numbers flow through to the financials, and the whole picture stays current without manual updates across separate systems.
-
What happens before and after the event matters just as much.
For event agencies and TMCs, the event itself is only one part of the job. The commercial work, winning the business, building the budget, managing suppliers, and reconciling costs, happens around the event. That is where the two platforms diverge most clearly.
Where Lyyti focuses:
Lyyti excels at what happens during and around the event itself: registration management, attendee communication, ticketing, feedback collection, and engagement reporting. For organisations running internal events, conferences, or community events where the primary need is a smooth registration and communication experience, Lyyti is a well-suited tool.
Where Qondor goes further:
Qondor covers registration and attendee management too, but also connects the commercial layer that agencies and TMCs depend on: proposals, budgets, supplier costs, contracts, invoicing, and reconciliation. For teams where a project starts with a client enquiry and ends with a reconciled invoice, Qondor is the platform built for that entire lifecycle in one place.
Common questions about Qondor and Lyyti.
-
Lyyti is an event registration and communication platform designed to help organisations manage attendees, send invitations, handle ticketing, and collect post-event feedback. Qondor is a platform built for the full commercial workflow of meetings and events agencies: it covers client proposals, budgeting, project management, supplier coordination, attendee management, invoicing, and reconciliation in one connected platform. The two tools are suited to different types of teams and different parts of the event management process.
-
Yes, particularly for event agencies, travel agencies, and TMCs that need more than event registration. If your team is managing client proposals, budgets, supplier costs, and invoicing alongside attendee logistics, Qondor is designed for that complete workflow. Lyyti is strong at the registration and communication layer, but it does not cover the commercial and financial side of running events as a business.
-
Based on Lyyti's published feature set and public descriptions, event budgeting and invoicing from accepted proposal lines are not core features of the platform. Lyyti focuses on registration, communication, reporting, and feedback. Teams that need budget tracking, proposal creation, supplier reconciliation, and invoice generation alongside their event management will need additional tools alongside Lyyti, or a platform like Qondor that covers both.
-
Qondor includes online registration forms, attendee communication by email and SMS, dietary and preference management, session and mobile-friendly programmes, and on-site check-in tools. The difference is that in Qondor, all of this is connected to the project budget, proposal, and invoicing, so attendee data and financial data stay aligned throughout the project rather than living in separate systems.
-
Lyyti is well suited to organisations across corporate, educational, and non-profit sectors that primarily need to manage event registrations, communicate with attendees, and measure event success through feedback and engagement data. It is a strong fit for internal event teams, marketing teams, and organisations hosting conferences or workshops where the core need is participant management rather than commercial workflow management.
-
Qondor is built primarily for event agencies, travel agencies, and TMCs that run meetings and events as their core commercial business. It is also used by DMCs and conference hotels and venues. These teams need to manage the full lifecycle from client request to final invoice, across multiple concurrent projects, often across multiple offices, currencies, and countries. Qondor's connected workflow is designed for that complexity.
-
There is overlap in that both serve professionals working with events, and both include attendee management capabilities. However, their primary markets are different. Lyyti serves a broad range of organisations that host events as part of their wider activities. Qondor is focused specifically on agencies and companies for whom managing meetings and events commercially is the core business. If proposal creation, budgeting, and invoicing are central to how your team works, Qondor is the more purpose-built fit.
