Keep Ticketor, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Ticketor you could make: qR codes, appointment booking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $455.40 a year.
What you could make
- QR codes, appointment booking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, Square and PayPal among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Ticketor’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.
