Metricool
Metricool's feed is its marketing blog — how-tos and platform news, not product releases
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Cvent and WP Tasty — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Cvent's release digests point to steady, integration-led buildout around Cvent CONNECT
The feed is Cvent's product-news stream, structured as per-solution release digests (Plan & Promote, Attendee Engagement, Spend & Workflow, Exchange, Trade Show, Actionable Insights) tied to a July 22 release window and its annual Cvent CONNECT event. Entries are terse release-note summaries, so individual items are low-signal, but together they show a broad platform shipping on a fixed cadence.
WP Tasty leans into email capture and AI-scraper defense for recipe bloggers
WP Tasty ships a suite of WordPress plugins for food bloggers (Recipes, Roundups, Links, Pins). Recent releases add a Save Recipe email-capture feature to the recipe card and an AI Scraper Prevention setting, alongside routine fixes and a migration of add-ons to a new affiliate system.
The feed is Cvent's product-news stream, structured as per-solution release digests (Plan & Promote, Attendee Engagement, Spend & Workflow, Exchange, Trade Show, Actionable Insights) tied to a July 22 release window and its annual Cvent CONNECT event. Entries are terse release-note summaries, so individual items are low-signal, but together they show a broad platform shipping on a fixed cadence.
The through-line is integration and workflow depth across the event lifecycle: a Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration for registration and analytics, Passkey hotel guarantee rules, and budget management tied to Reposite vendors. Cvent is reinforcing its all-in-one event-management footprint (including Jifflenow and Passkey) rather than making a single directional bet.
Expect a wave of CONNECT-timed releases across the suite, with CRM and marketing-stack integrations (Dynamics 365) and Attendee Hub app enhancements as recurring themes. Deeper cross-product ties among Passkey, Jifflenow, and core Cvent are the likely direction.
WP Tasty ships a suite of WordPress plugins for food bloggers (Recipes, Roundups, Links, Pins). Recent releases add a Save Recipe email-capture feature to the recipe card and an AI Scraper Prevention setting, alongside routine fixes and a migration of add-ons to a new affiliate system.
Two themes are emerging: turning the recipe card into a lead-capture surface (email-a-recipe, newsletter opt-in) and defending bloggers' content from AI crawlers. The rest of the cadence is coordinated housekeeping — moving the whole plugin family onto the new affiliate settings.
Expect the Save Recipe / newsletter capture to expand with more placement and integration options, and further creator-protection tooling as AI scraping stays a live concern.
