About Google Sheets
Google Sheets is a go-to tool for event organizers who need to track attendees, manage guest lists, and organize event details. But spreadsheets were not built for event management - they require manual data entry, have no attendee-facing features, and become unwieldy as events grow.
Google Sheets's strengths
- Flexible data structure for any type of tracking
- Real-time collaboration with team members
- Free and available to anyone with a Google account
Why switch to Event Schedule?
Spreadsheets require manual data entry for every sale and attendee. Event Schedule tracks everything automatically with a live dashboard.
- Automatic tracking of ticket sales, attendees, and check-ins
- CSV export when you need spreadsheet-format data for analysis
- REST API for custom integrations with your other tools
- Live check-in dashboard instead of a static spreadsheet
