How do we compare?
Ticketing apps sell tickets. Rental platforms take bookings. Scheduling tools keep a calendar. Admittee does all three on one calendar, which changes what a fair comparison looks like. Here is each one, honestly.
- Ticketing app
- Scheduling tool
- Rental platform
- The spreadsheet
Compare by what you already run
Admittee vs spreadsheets and Google Forms
The most common setup we replace, and the hardest to beat on flexibility. What a shared sheet does well, and where it starts costing a weekend.
Read the comparisonSchedulingrSchoolToday is now Arbiter
rschooltoday.com redirects to arbiter.io. What the change means if you are still on it, and the three directions schools have taken since.
Read the comparisonSchedulingAdmittee vs Planning Center
A church management system whose Calendar books rooms, priced per room. Where a church-attached school outgrows it, and the giving tools we do not build.
Read the comparisonEverythingAdmittee vs Bound
The closest thing to us: ticketing, registration, scheduling, facilities and concessions in one platform. Built around the athletic schedule rather than the campus.
Read the comparisonTicketingAdmittee vs GoFan
Free to the school, with a flat convenience fee charged to the fan. The question is the calendar, the rentals and the registrations it does not touch.
Read the comparisonTicketingAdmittee vs Hometown
Ticketing sold on service: every account gets a client success manager. If that is why you would pick them, here is what you give up elsewhere.
Read the comparisonPaymentsAdmittee vs Square
General-purpose payments that sell anything. Nothing in the reader knows it was a game, so the total arrives with no event attached to it.
Read the comparisonFacility rentalsAdmittee vs Facilitron
Facility rentals on a national marketplace, with a support team that talks to your renters. Strongest when reaching new renters is the goal in itself.
Read the comparisonFacility rentalsAdmittee vs SchoolSpace
District facility scheduling and rentals, powered by Venyooz, with the best public facility listings of anyone here. No ticketing, and no event day.
Read the comparisonMaintenanceAdmittee vs FMX
Work orders and maintenance first, scheduling second. Strong on the building itself, quiet on the tickets, rentals and money an event brings in.
Read the comparisonIntegrationsWorks with your SIS
Not a competitor. What Admittee reads from your student information system, what it deliberately does not, and why your rosters stay where they are.

Where a vendor does not publish a price we say so rather than estimate one. Only GoFan and Square publish theirs.
Switching is a season, not a migration
Most schools start with facilities and rentals alongside their current ticketing, then move the next home game's gate. There are no fan accounts to move.
