"Intuitive, Customizable Platform with Outstanding Support"
What do you like best about Guidebook?

I love using Guidebook because it’s become the gold standard in our industry for a reason. It’s intuitive, flexible, and built with users in mind. The platform is easy to customize, which allows us to create polished, engaging guides that fit our campus and event needs perfectly. Whether it’s for students, staff, or conference attendees, people find it easy to navigate and genuinely useful.

What sets Guidebook apart, though, is the team behind it. Their staff is incredibly supportive, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. They don’t just provide a product, they build relationships, checking in regularly, celebrating our milestones, and helping us troubleshoot any challenges that come up. It feels like having a true partner who wants you to shine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guidebook?

The only downside is the cost. Smaller organizations or programs with limited budgets may find it difficult to afford. That said, Guidebook’s pricing does seem to scale based on size and need, so there’s flexibility depending on the scope of your use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible Customer Service and great functionality."
What do you like best about Guidebook?

I’ve really enjoyed using Guidebook—it’s so easy to work with on the admin side, and being able to make real-time updates has been a huge plus for keeping our event running smoothly. It’s also super simple for attendees to use and looks great on their end, too. But honestly, the best part has been the customer service. Our rep, Christian, is hands down the most responsive and attentive rep I’ve ever worked with, and the tech support team is always quick to jump in and help with any questions or issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guidebook?

I think there’s room to elevate the impact of the banner ads—currently, their size limits visibility and reduces their overall effectiveness. I also ran into some challenges creating the graphics; more detailed design specs or templates would be really helpful here. Additionally, the process for bulk uploading sponsor logos felt a bit manual and time-consuming—streamlining that workflow could save a lot of time on the backend.

"Good Option for Attendee Engagement"
What do you like best about Guidebook?

Once the app is created for your event, it was easy to make edits. We could add or remove certain features without much trouble. We did receive positive feedback from those attendees that came for the networking component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guidebook?

Maybe it's from lack of frequent use with the app, but creating the event from scratch was very time consuming. Given the size of our event, we debate whether or not it's worth the time and cost each year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Guidebook is a customizable app allowing for tailoring experiences to specific target audiences with unique tracks. This customization helps in creating an experience that I can be proud of in a relatively short amount of time. I particularly appreciate having a representative available to assist with this process, ensuring smooth creation and execution of plans. Additionally, Guidebook is user-friendly, making it easy to use without significant difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Guidebook?

I think the option to copy for the schedule is something that would be helpful. Additionally, there are times where the platform could be more inclusive and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
