Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Fatsoma you would be making email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 44 of the 79 other event ticketing platforms grade higher.
What you could not
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Fatsoma’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
