3CX vs Eventtia
A side-by-side editorial comparison of 3CX and Eventtia — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
3CX vs Eventtia: at a glance
What is 3CX?
3CX is rebuilding around an AI Server, and it just handed the channel the AI edition to sell.
Recent releases split between the AI Server — sizing guidance, deployment updates, MCP and admin control in the V20 Update 10 alpha — and steady client work, most recently the V5.8 softphone beta with one-click SSO and outbound number choice. Packaging moved too: partner and distributor NFR subscriptions were replaced with the AI Edition.
What is Eventtia?
Eventtia bets on agentic architecture and enterprise SSO portals to move event software upmarket.
Eventtia is splitting its output between standard event-planning content and a sharper enterprise thesis: corporate-identity-gated registration portals (SAML/OIDC, Okta, Azure AD) and a platform deliberately opened to AI agents. The Swiss watchmaker case study and the SSO architecture explainer show real enterprise infrastructure work, not just feature checklists.

3CX
6.3MEETINGS
3CX is rebuilding around an AI Server, and it just handed the channel the AI edition to sell.
◆ Current state
Recent releases split between the AI Server — sizing guidance, deployment updates, MCP and admin control in the V20 Update 10 alpha — and steady client work, most recently the V5.8 softphone beta with one-click SSO and outbound number choice. Packaging moved too: partner and distributor NFR subscriptions were replaced with the AI Edition.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI Server is being treated as infrastructure customers deploy themselves rather than a hosted add-on, with hardware guidance, dedicated deployment tooling and an MCP endpoint for connecting assistants. Putting the AI Edition into partner hands and easing self-managed subscription changes both point at pushing that stack out through the channel rather than upselling it centrally.
◆ Prediction
Expect V20 Update 10 to move from alpha toward release with the AI Server management changes already previewed, and the V5.8 softphone beta to reach general availability.
Eventtia
2.5MEETINGS
Eventtia bets on agentic architecture and enterprise SSO portals to move event software upmarket.
◆ Current state
Eventtia is splitting its output between standard event-planning content and a sharper enterprise thesis: corporate-identity-gated registration portals (SAML/OIDC, Okta, Azure AD) and a platform deliberately opened to AI agents. The Swiss watchmaker case study and the SSO architecture explainer show real enterprise infrastructure work, not just feature checklists.
◆ Where it's heading
Two reinforcing bets are forming — sell to IT and security buyers via SSO/identity integration, and reframe the platform as agent-accessible rather than a closed app with AI bolted on. Together they push Eventtia toward being event infrastructure for large organizations rather than a planner-facing tool.
◆ Prediction
The agentic-software framing is likely a precursor to a published API or agent interface; watch for a concrete developer or agent-integration surface to follow the manifesto.
