The bill side by side
Entry pricing, and what each subscription actually delivers.
Entry price, side by side

What is actually different, feature by feature

|---|---|---|
| Money | ||

What each platform is actually for
Honest read. Both exist for a reason, because they were built for different jobs.
Venue teams with someone at a desk through business hours who only want proposals, event sheets and payments tidied up, and who accept the tier-based card rate.
Operators who lose events to a phone nobody answered. The full booking workflow, plus a line that picks up at any hour and books the open date. Your own Stripe account, month to month.
