Ripluo

Active

Overview

Ripluo is an event planning and CRM software platform for event planners, wedding coordinators, corporate event managers, and nonprofit teams. It combines event timelines, checklists, budgets, guest and vendor management, team coordination, lead tracking, proposals, contracts, and invoicing in one browser-based service.

The platform occupies the event-operations software category and differentiates itself by combining purpose-built event tools with a full CRM rather than requiring separate general-purpose applications. It offers a free tier with limits on active events, users, contacts, deals, proposals, and invoices.

History

Ripluo was created by Sean, who is identified on the company’s website as the owner of CoastalSpark Entertainment, founder of Event Builder Pro, and a conference director for The Church of Eleven22 in Jacksonville, Florida. The platform was developed from his experience planning events and managing event operations. Ripluo’s current product combines event-management features with a customer relationship management system. No founding date, acquisition, or ownership change is publicly identified in the available company information.

Manufacturing

Ripluo is browser-based software rather than a physical product, so manufacturing is not applicable. The service is delivered through ripluo.com and app.ripluo.com and works across modern desktop and mobile browsers.

Reputation

Ripluo presents itself as a focused alternative to assembling separate project-management, CRM, budgeting, and communication tools. Its apparent strengths are the combination of event-specific workflows and CRM features, browser accessibility, and a free entry tier. Public information is limited, and there is not enough independent review coverage to assess adoption, reliability, customer support, or professional reputation in depth. The absence of publicly specified paid-plan pricing and a native app may be relevant considerations for prospective users.
