WHAT ACCOLADE COSTS
Four plans, priced on the size of the ceremony rather than on seats you have to keep counting. Start free with no card, and move up when the event does.
All prices in GBP, per organisation. Annual billing saves 20%. No setup fee.

CONFERENCES AND WEDDINGS
The four plans above are for awards. Accolade sells two other event types, each on its own single plan.
Summit
- Five stations
- Multi-track agenda builder
- Ticketing with early bird & VIP tiers
- QR check-in & badge printing
- Sponsor pipeline, speakers, suppliers
- Up to 2,000 attendees
Occasions
- Three stations
- No guest limit
- Seating chart with conflict detection
- Catering with allergen intelligence
- Supplier tracker, budget & payment schedule
- Two-planner access (couple + planner)
Neither has a self-serve checkout yet, so both start with a conversation rather than a card. Both are covered by the same Terms §4.3, the same security posture and the same support targets as the awards plans.
WHICH ONE IS FOR YOU?
The honest version, written from the events we have actually run.
Free
Trying it out for one event. A local charity award, a university showcase, a regional industry honour with a small team. Everything works; the limits are the limits. Best for small, low-stakes events at 1 event, 50 guests, 1 user.
Professional
In-house team running your annual awards. You have outgrown spreadsheets and need a guest list that talks to ticketing, sponsors you can track, and AI that fills the stations for you. Best for comms or events teams running one 500-guest event a year.
Enterprise
National ceremony, premium production. Your awards night sells tables to FTSE companies. You need the full sponsor CRM, run of show, white-label, your own subdomain and a named contact who knows your account. Best for flagship industry awards and gala events.
Agency
Event agency running multiple clients. You run awards on behalf of others, need four workspaces kept clean, everything white-labelled to your clients, and someone to ring on the night. Best for production agencies, PR firms and awards-as-a-service operators.
