Keep Yapsody, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Yapsody you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 6 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 31 of the 45 other event ticketing platforms we grade.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, PayPal and Google Analytics among them.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Yapsody’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.
