Where Event Schedule Shines
Key advantages over DICE that make Event Schedule a strong alternative.
Web-First Access
DICE requires fans to download their app to buy tickets. Event Schedule works in any browser - no app install required, no friction for your audience.
Direct Payments
With DICE, they control the money and pay you later. Event Schedule connects directly to your Stripe account - funds go straight to you.
Calendar Sync
Two-way Google Calendar and CalDAV sync keeps your schedule always up to date. DICE has no calendar integration whatsoever.
Fan Videos & Comments
Let fans share videos and comments on your events, building a community around your shows. DICE offers no fan-generated content features.
Custom Event Pages
Design your event pages with custom themes, colors, backgrounds, and your own domain. DICE locks every event into the same app template.
Newsletters
Reach your audience directly with built-in newsletters. DICE limits you to push notifications that only work if fans have the app installed.
