Eventcombo vs TrueConf: at a glance
What is Eventcombo?
Eventcombo adds webinar demo checklists to its 2027 buyer guides.
Eventcombo's feed is search content aimed at buyers planning next year: a 2027 event production guide, a webinar platform guide, an event planning checklist and guides on HubSpot sync and hybrid platforms. Nothing here describes a product release.
What is TrueConf?
TrueConf takes its on-prem pitch to GITEX after a month of PHP patches.
A critical PHP vulnerability in TrueConf Server's web service (PHP2Shell, all versions through 5.5.7) drove a security advisory, the 5.5.8 release and matching 5.4.11 and 5.3.11 updates. TrueConf Room gained better calendar-connector handling. Since then the feed is event marketing, with recaps of ADIPEC and plans for GITEX GLOBAL.

Eventcombo
5.0MEETINGS
Eventcombo adds webinar demo checklists to its 2027 buyer guides.
◆ Current state
Eventcombo's feed is search content aimed at buyers planning next year: a 2027 event production guide, a webinar platform guide, an event planning checklist and guides on HubSpot sync and hybrid platforms. Nothing here describes a product release.
◆ Where it's heading
The content has moved down the funnel, from general event-planning advice to vendor selection and CRM integration. Eventcombo is writing for the marketing and operations teams who compare platforms and worry about data sync. The shadow tech stack post adds a governance angle aimed at the same buyers.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 2027 comparison and integration content through budget season. The entries give no basis for forecasting a product release.
TrueConf
5.0MEETINGS
TrueConf takes its on-prem pitch to GITEX after a month of PHP patches.
◆ Current state
A critical PHP vulnerability in TrueConf Server's web service (PHP2Shell, all versions through 5.5.7) drove a security advisory, the 5.5.8 release and matching 5.4.11 and 5.3.11 updates. TrueConf Room gained better calendar-connector handling. Since then the feed is event marketing, with recaps of ADIPEC and plans for GITEX GLOBAL.
◆ Where it's heading
TrueConf sells on-premises communications to regulated and industrial customers, and recent releases are mostly about keeping several supported server versions patched. Feature work, such as quick polls and chatbot buttons in 5.5.6, comes in smaller monthly steps.
◆ Prediction
Expect the November security update and a 5.5.9 server release, with feature work resuming in the 5.5 line.
