The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/event-ticketing ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** The plain part of Audience View you could make: reports and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 57 of the 79 other event ticketing platforms grade higher. - You could make: Reports and forms: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Selling tickets and checking them at the door. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
