Remo alternative: an honest comparison for event organisers
An honest Remo alternative comparison - what Remo's matchmaking genuinely does, where it wins, what each costs, and when a matching layer fits better.
Co-founder and Product Lead, All Along
The short answer. Remo is a virtual event platform with a map-style floor, tables people move between, and matchmaking closer to ours than anything else we compare against - their own page promises a personalised list of connections and a reason for each suggested meeting. If your event is virtual, Remo hosts the whole thing and matches the room. All Along hosts nothing. We work from an attendee list, so we serve the in-person event Remo is not built for, and our published prices start lower.
Most comparison pages are written by companies who think the other product is worse. This is not one of those, and it would be obvious if we pretended otherwise. Remo's matchmaking does the same job ours does and describes it in similar words - a personalised list per attendee, drawn from what they wrote when they registered, with a reason for each suggestion. Where the two part company is the venue. Remo's matching happens inside a Remo event, on a Remo floor plan, at a Remo table. Ours happens off a spreadsheet, which is why it works in a hotel function room with no platform involved at all. Choose on where your event happens and what you are willing to spend, not on which one claims better matching.
If you are still scoping the category more broadly, it is worth reading the three questions to ask before you buy an event networking platform and why most people leave an event without meeting anyone useful. This page is the head-to-head once Remo is already on your shortlist.
How Remo and All Along compare
Every row below says who we think does that job better, including the rows where the answer is Remo. A comparison written by one of the two companies is only worth reading if it is willing to lose an argument, so here are the ones we lose.
| What you need it to do | Remo | All Along | Better here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Host the event itself | A map-style virtual floor with tables people move between freely, plus a shuffle function that moves everyone on. That is the product and it is a real one | Nothing. We are not a venue, online or otherwise, and we never will be | Remo |
| Match people during the event, not just before it | Their matchmaking runs inside the live event and can put a recommended connection in front of someone while they are still there, with the meeting room already open | Matches go out before the event. Once people are in the room, we are finished and it is up to them | Remo |
| Run a virtual career or job fair | A named use case with the product built around it - employer tables, candidates moving between them, the lot | Not offered. We could tell a candidate which three employers to talk to, but somebody else has to run the fair | Remo |
| Tell an attendee why they were matched | Their matchmaking page promises attendees can understand the reason for each suggested meeting, and offers talking points to open with. This is the one row where the honest answer is that we are doing the same thing | Every match comes with a short written reason drawn from what both people said they were working on, plus the opening line the two of them could start with | Line ball |
| Work at an in-person event | The matching is a feature of the Remo platform, and the platform is a virtual venue. A conference in a hotel is not the thing it is built for | A spreadsheet in, matches out by email. Most of the events we have run were people standing in a room together | All Along |
| Keep the registration system you already have | Getting the matchmaking means running the event on Remo, which means moving registration and the venue as well | Two or three questions on your existing registration form, and nothing else changes | All Along |
| Run one small event without a subscription | Their published plans start at 299 a month billed quarterly or annually from two hundred attendees, or 699 for a one-time event from a hundred attendees. There is a fourteen-day trial, and no free tier published | Free under fifty people, permanently, with the full matching and the full report. Above that, AU$209 to a hundred and AU$419 to two hundred and fifty, per event, no subscription | All Along |
| Reach people who never log in | The value is inside the platform. Someone who does not join the Remo event does not get the matches | Matches arrive by email and on a web page. There is nothing to join and nothing to download | All Along |
Everything in that table about Remo was checked against their own website on 18 August 2026, and the pages we used are listed at the bottom of this post. Products move. If you find something out of date here, tell us and we will correct it.
What All Along costs
Both of us publish prices. Remo's page shows a starter plan starting at 299 a month, billed quarterly or annually, from two hundred attendees an event, and a one-time event plan starting at 699 from a hundred attendees, with enterprise quoted. There is a fourteen-day free trial with no card required. Their page prints a dollar sign without naming a currency, so we are not going to guess at one for them. Ours: events under fifty people are free, permanently, with the full matching and the full report - not a trial and not a cut-down version. Above that it is a flat fee for the event, as at August 2026: AU$209 for up to a hundred attendees and AU$419 for up to two hundred and fifty, which works out at roughly AU$1.70 to AU$2.10 a person, with a money-back guarantee on every paid plan. Plans are priced on the number of people you invite, not the number who fill the form in. The honest summary is that we are cheaper at the small end and we are also doing far less for the money, because Remo is hosting your event and we are not.
Full plans and what is included are on the events pricing and community pricing pages.
What we can see that a bigger platform cannot
The evidence we have is narrow and mostly about rooms rather than screens. Nearly every event that has run through All Along has been people physically in a room together, which is the part of this comparison that matters: our matching has been built and tested against the awkward, unstructured business of walking into a venue where you know nobody, rather than against a floor plan where you can see every table at once. It is a small body of first-party material and we would rather say so than dress it up. That is not a claim that we match better. It is a claim about which problem we have spent our time on.
“This is a must-have for all events - the bigger the event, the more necessary so attendees can be intentional about connecting prior to the event and it helps overcome any pre-event jitters. All Along also provided a way for more introverted attendees to jump into networking opportunities.”
Choose Remo if
- Your event is online. Remo hosts it and matches the room in one purchase, and assembling that from two vendors is more work for no obvious gain.
- You want people matched while the event is happening, with the meeting room already open. Ours go out beforehand and then we are done.
- You are running a virtual career fair or job fair. That is a named Remo use case with the product shaped around it and we do not go near it.
- You want a floor plan people can move around - tables, rooms, the sense of a venue rather than a grid of faces. That is the thing Remo is known for and we have no version of it.
- You run events all year and a monthly plan across all of them works out cheaper than paying per event.
Choose All Along if
- Your event is in a physical room. Remo's matching lives inside a Remo event, and ours runs off the attendee list wherever the event is.
- You already have a registration tool and a venue and only the introductions are missing.
- The event is under fifty people, where we are free and permanently so.
- You want the matches in people's inboxes before they travel, so the first conversation starts in the coffee queue rather than at a table you assigned.
- You would rather buy one event than a subscription billed quarterly.
The honest summary: Remo and All Along are built for different jobs. If getting the right people to actually meet is the outcome you are judged on, see how All Along works, or run the free networking gap calculator to see where your current set-up falls short before you commit to either platform.

Frequently asked questions
Does Remo already do what All Along does?
For a virtual event, largely yes, and we would rather say so. Their matchmaking page describes a personalised list of connections per attendee drawn from profiles and registration answers, with a reason for each suggested meeting and talking points to open with. The difference is not the idea, it is the venue: theirs works inside a Remo event and ours works from an attendee list, which is why ours suits an event in a physical room.
Can we use All Along for an online event?
Yes - we send matches by email and on a web page regardless of where the event happens. But if the event is online and you have not chosen a platform yet, a product that hosts the event and matches the room in one purchase is worth looking at properly before you assemble it from two.
What does All Along cost?
Free under fifty attendees, permanently, with the full matching and the full report. Above that, AU$209 for up to a hundred attendees and AU$419 for up to two hundred and fifty, per event, with a money-back guarantee on every paid plan. There is no subscription and no minimum term.
How is a match explained to the attendee?
Each person gets a short written reason for every match, built from what both people said they were working on and what they were looking for. It is the sentence you would have said if you had introduced them yourself. Remo publishes something similar for their own matches, so treat this as table stakes between the two of us rather than a reason to pick one.
