X-CD is worth evaluating when the same conference team manages abstracts, reviewers, speaker materials and registrations. The modular structure can connect several demanding workflows, but it needs a clearly defined proposal. Test how records move between the chosen modules before treating the platform as a single uninterrupted process.
Pricing depends on selected modules and volumes such as submissions, members, attendees, exhibitors and credit earners. Confirm the actual counting rules and included services.
Kristian C. described segmented data and design constraints in May 2026, while Jill B. noted extra package charges and migration friction. These dated experiences support testing the purchased configuration.
X-CD Payments lists domestic cards at 3.9% + $0.30, with additional card-present and international/currency charges. Its no-monthly-fee statement concerns payments, not the entire software platform.
| Plan | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Conference and association software | Not publicly confirmed; custom quote | Selected modules and volume determine scope; no directory starting price is adopted. |
| X-CD Payments — domestic cards | 3.9% + $0.30 per successful transaction | Published payment schedule; confirm merchant currency and regional eligibility. |
| X-CD Payments — ACH/eCheck | 1% per successful transaction | Payment-method availability and return conditions need confirmation. |
X-CD can connect the scientific program with the surrounding registration and association work. Use a demonstration that follows a submission through review, acceptance, speaker materials and the attendee-facing program.
The proposal should list both software modules and payment arrangements. A published processing percentage answers a different budget question from the conference platform’s license and service costs.
