Metricool
Metricool stops measuring social media and starts closing sales inside it.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Cvent and Swipe Pages — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Cvent is pulling rail into managed attendee travel and building matchmaking into the event itself
Cvent publishes on a fixed release rhythm — dated product-release notes for each launch window, per-solution notes for Exchange and Splash, a monthly ICYMI recap, and Spotlight posts that introduce one capability at length. Bodies arrive truncated to roughly 150 characters, so the Spotlights are where substance is signalled even though the feed only carries their opening. The current pair covers Train Travel and Community Meetings.
A landing page builder that turned itself into an agent surface, then started charging for it.
Swipe Pages has spent 2026 converting a conventional landing page builder into an agent-driven one. The AI Agents launch in December 2025 established chat-based page generation; every release since has hardened it — Code Mode with model selection and block locking, AI image generation in-builder, tracking codes and Events API integrations carried over from the classic product. As of July, AI pages have reached feature parity with the hand-built ones on the things that matter commercially: A/B testing, personalization, and cross-subaccount portability.

Two directions are visible. Attendee travel is being consolidated: rail joins air and hotel as something requested, imported and managed in one place, which matters most for European and multi-city programmes where flights are not the default. And networking is being productised — Community Meetings turn shared interests into scheduled connections, addressing the thing attendees say they come for and planners find hardest to engineer. Around both, the regular release windows continue retiring old options, such as Facebook sharing in Splash.
Travel and networking converge on the same attendee record, so expect arrival and departure times to start constraining which Community Meetings a person is offered rather than the two being scheduled independently.

Two arcs are converging. The first is distribution: Swipe Genie became addressable from outside the product via MCP in April, first on request, then GA across all plans in July — the builder is now something an external agent drives, not just a UI a marketer opens. The second is monetization: AI credits landed on every plan in May as a purchasable, non-expiring unit, which turns generation volume into revenue rather than cost. Bug-fix releases in between are dominated by agent-session plumbing — transcripts, thought signatures, invitee access — the maintenance profile of a product whose core loop is now a conversation.
Expect the credit system to gain the usual second-order machinery — per-subaccount allocation and usage reporting — since subaccount timezone and analytics work is already landing. The MCP surface reaching GA on all plans without a matching pricing line suggests agent-driven publishing is next to be metered.
