Cvent vs Replug: at a glance
What is Cvent?
Cvent's assistant moves from answering support questions to answering data questions
The feed has rolled forward to the September 2 launch window, announced the same way the August 19 one was: five family notices published within minutes of each other, each naming the products in scope before describing what changes. The bodies are cut off after roughly 150 characters, so scope is never fully readable from the feed. The one item describing shipped software is a Splash Host App Android release.
What is Replug?
Replug expanded from link shortening into deep linking and bio-links — then went quiet.
Replug is a link-management and bio-link platform. Its monthly roundups show expansion well beyond short links: advanced deep linking with GPS location tracking, App Store and Google Maps QR codes, eight new bio-link blocks with link cloaking, and a complete API rebuild with analytics export. The most recent notes are from early 2026, and the feed has been quiet since.

Cvent's assistant moves from answering support questions to answering data questions
◆ Current state
The feed has rolled forward to the September 2 launch window, announced the same way the August 19 one was: five family notices published within minutes of each other, each naming the products in scope before describing what changes. The bodies are cut off after roughly 150 characters, so scope is never fully readable from the feed. The one item describing shipped software is a Splash Host App Android release.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads are legible through the truncation. Cvent Assistant is widening from help into analysis — after Knowledge & Support in May and in-product Spotlight help, the September window adds an Insights capability that answers plain-language questions about event data. Separately, Spend & Workflow moves from an empty cycle in August to shipping Auto Event Creation as a workflow action, which turns meeting request forms into event-creating triggers rather than intake documents. The dated-train cadence itself is unchanged: every family lands on one date, announced weeks ahead.
◆ Prediction
Expect the September 2 items to be restated as shipped once the window passes, and Cvent Assistant to keep accreting capabilities inside individual products rather than launching as a standalone surface.
Replug
0.0MARKETING
Replug expanded from link shortening into deep linking and bio-links — then went quiet.
◆ Current state
Replug is a link-management and bio-link platform. Its monthly roundups show expansion well beyond short links: advanced deep linking with GPS location tracking, App Store and Google Maps QR codes, eight new bio-link blocks with link cloaking, and a complete API rebuild with analytics export. The most recent notes are from early 2026, and the feed has been quiet since.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc through 2025 was broadening the surface — deep linking, QR formats, bio-link building, and an API rebuild to underpin it — turning a link shortener into a fuller link-and-attribution toolkit. But with no notes since the January 2026 roundup, the recent trajectory is unclear; the platform may have slowed its public release cadence.
◆ Prediction
If development is still active, deeper deep-linking and attribution features are the natural next step given the API rebuild; but the gap since January 2026 makes the near-term direction uncertain.
