No credit card required · Set up in minutes

Your assistant proposes. You approve.

1. Describe it

“Set up a 2-day craft fair, 60 booths, tickets at $10, kids free, round up for the food bank.”

2. Review the plan

Your assistant turns intent into a concrete plan of changes — every step previewed, nothing hidden.

3. Approve what you like

Nothing touches your live event, charges money, or messages a person without your explicit approval.

What's included

One workspace covers the whole event, with no add-on tier for the parts that matter. The last group is people rather than software — the same team produces events on this platform, at the level of help you want.

Sell

  • Multiple ticket types, promo codes, comp and discount tickets
  • Checkout, orders, and buyer records
  • Ticket transfers and attendee-initiated refund requests

Market

  • Post-event report, playbook, and a quarterly program review

How it compares

Most organizers choose between a ticketing platform, a stack of general tools held together by a spreadsheet, or this. Here is where those three actually differ.

This compares approaches rather than named products, because any specific vendor's feature list changes faster than this page does.
