Event Planning Software Resources

What features of ClickUp make it a preferred choice for project management in agile teams?

I’m trying to pin down the best tool for tracking budgets in event planning, something that doesn’t just manage tasks but actually helps keep spending under control, track vendor costs, and avoid those last-minute “oops we overspent” surprises. Here’s what I’m seeing from G2’s grid for event/project management software that gets used in event planning:

• monday Work Management: Super flexible for event teams, with dashboards and automations that make it easy to keep an eye on costs alongside tasks.
• ClickUp: Seems like a good all-in-one option if you want tasks, docs, and budget tracking in the same space, with lots of customization.
• Cvent Event Marketing & Management: A heavyweight in the events space, especially for large conferences, with budget and spend tracking built in.
• Tripleseat: Designed for venues and hospitality, so budget tracking ties directly to contracts, proposals, and invoices.
• Whova: More focused on attendee management and event logistics, but has some budgeting features baked in.
• Wrike: Strong project management tool with reporting and financial tracking add-ons, good for event teams that need structured workflows.
• vFairs:  Best known for virtual and hybrid events, but does include budgeting and cost-tracking tools as part of its platform.

Other big names I’ve seen mentioned a lot (not on this particular grid snapshot) are Asana, Smartsheet, and Eventbrite.

Anyone here using these tools specifically for event budget tracking? Curious which ones actually make life easier vs. just adding more admin work.

Does Google use ClickUp?
