LUMA ALTERNATIVE
A Luma alternative that hosts the event where your team already works
Virtual Hirix vs Luma
An events tool stops at the registration page and hands you off to a video link. Virtual Hirix hosts the event inside the workspace your team already works in, in a room people actually sit down in.
| Virtual Hirix | Luma | |
|---|---|---|
| Public event page | Yes — no account needed to view, numbered seats | Yes |
| Where the event actually happens | A seated room in the product: stage, screen share, hand queue | A link out to Zoom, Meet, or a venue |
| How many tools your attendee touches | One | Two — the registration page, then the call |
| Seat capacity | Hard-capped in the database, so the cap is real | A registration cap on the page |
| Raising a hand on stage | Built in — a queue the host works through | Whatever your video tool offers |
| Same address as your team chat | Yes — event, office, and workspace are one product | A separate product from where your team talks |
| Between events | Chat, DMs, and an office your team uses every day | Nothing until the next event |
| What it costs to run events | Included with the workspace | A separate subscription |
The event happens in the product
Registration and the event itself are the same place. Nobody gets a page, then a link, then a waiting room — the seat they claimed is the seat they sit in.
A cap that is actually a cap
Seats are enforced in the database, not counted on a page. When it says 60 seats, the sixty-first person does not get in.
It is already open
Your team is in the workspace anyway, for chat and for the office. Hosting from there means no new tool to buy, learn, or remember to cancel.
