Compare Blocks with the alternatives
Honest side-by-side comparisons, including where the other tool is the better choice. Every claim about another product is cited to that company’s own public materials and carries the date we checked it.
A Passkey alternative built around your contracts
Passkey books rooms well inside the Cvent ecosystem. Blocks starts a step earlier — with the contract you signed — and stays through the cutoff, the attrition math, and the rooming list the hotel sends back. Easier to buy, faster to live on, and built around your contracts and deadlines — not just the booking site.

EventPipe manages the whole booking-and-reservation lifecycle, from RFP to invoicing. Blocks focuses on the part that costs you money — the contract, the deadlines, and the rooming list — and reads every hotel contract in under 60 seconds so the fine print does not slip past you.
Read the comparison →vs. MeetingmaxA Meetingmax alternative built around your contracts
Meetingmax is strong where housing is a revenue line: attendee reservations, sub-blocks with their own branding, pace reports and commission tracking. Blocks starts a step earlier — with the contract you signed — and stays through the cut-off, the attrition math, the departments asking for rooms, and the list the hotel sends back.

GroupSync is genuinely good at finding and booking group rooms — instant booking, live rates, free to the planner. Blocks picks up where that stops: the contract you signed, every cut-off on it, attrition per night, the departments submitting rooms, and the rooming list the hotel sends back.

A spreadsheet is a great place to hold a rooming list. Keep exporting to sheets — just stop managing deadlines, pickup, rooming lists, and hotel email in them, because a cell never reminds you and never does the math against your contract.
