For event organizers using Google Forms for RSVPs and registration

Not everyone runs all four. Whichever of them you do run, the event details get copied between them by hand, because none of them was built for events.

The gaps

Where Google Forms limits you for events

Google Forms was not built for event management. These are the places the event part has to be done somewhere else.

Google Forms

No built-in ticketing or payment processing
No public event pages or shareable calendar
Manual work to send confirmations and track attendees
No QR code check-in or event day tools

None of that is a fault in Google Forms. It is a general-purpose tool being asked to run an event, which is why the rest of the job ends up in other tabs.

Done natively

What Event Schedule gives you over Google Forms

The same work, in the tool that already knows what an event is.

Built-in Ticketing

Sell tickets with Stripe payments, automatic confirmations, and zero platform fees. No manual invoicing needed.

Public Event Pages

Every event gets a shareable page with all the details. No more sending form links with separate info docs.

QR Code Check-in

Every ticket includes a QR code. Scan attendees in at the door with a live check-in dashboard.

AI Event Import

Paste event details in any format and AI extracts dates, times, locations, and descriptions automatically.

Calendar Sync

Two-way Google Calendar sync keeps your events updated everywhere, automatically.

Custom Registration Fields

Collect any information you need from attendees with custom fields on ticket forms. Data is connected to attendee records automatically.

The swap sheet

Google Forms vs Event Schedule

Line by line, on the event work. A dash in the Google Forms column means that job is not built in, so today it is living in another tab. A tick in the Event Schedule column does not mean free: the three cards below say which plan carries what.

From $0/mo (Pro $5/mo)

Free

Unlimited events and schedules. Public event pages and a shareable calendar. Two-way Google, Outlook and CalDAV sync. Free RSVP with a capacity limit. Embeddable calendar, built-in analytics, AI event parsing, and 10 newsletter emails a month.

Pro

$5 a month

Ticketing with QR check-in and the check-in dashboard. Custom fields on the form, waitlist, promo codes, sales export. Event graphics, the embeddable ticket widget, the REST API and webhooks. 100 newsletter emails a month.

Enterprise

$15 a month

Your own domain. Up to five team members. Internal and unlisted events. AI flyer and style generation, AI agenda scanning, WhatsApp event creation, and 1,000 newsletter emails a month.

Two footnotes worth reading before you switch. Your follower list is never capped, but the monthly newsletter allowance counts recipients rather than sends, so one letter to 40 followers spends 40 of it. And Free is a single team member; extra members are Enterprise. What does not change with the plan is the fee on ticket sales, which is zero on all three. Past Stripe's own processing, the money is yours.

Familiar interface within the Google ecosystem
Flexible custom fields for any type of form

Event Schedule
