Replace Google Sheets for events.
Stop tracking event data in spreadsheets.
For organizers tracking event data and attendees in spreadsheets
Today, in four tabs
Not everyone runs all four. Whichever of them you do run, the event details get copied between them by hand, because none of them was built for events.
After
- A public page for every event, and a calendar of all of them Free
- Free RSVP with a capacity limit per date Free
- Tickets with QR check-in and a check-in dashboard Pro
- Newsletters to the people who follow your schedule Free
The gaps
Where Google Sheets limits you for events
Google Sheets was not built for event management. These are the places the event part has to be done somewhere else.
- Manual data entry for every attendee and ticket sale
- No public-facing event pages or ticket purchasing
- Formulas and formatting break as sheets grow
- No automated confirmations, reminders, or check-in tools
None of that is a fault in Google Sheets. It is a general-purpose tool being asked to run an event, which is why the rest of the job ends up in other tabs.
Done natively
What Event Schedule gives you over Google Sheets
The same work, in the tool that already knows what an event is.
Automatic Tracking
Ticket sales, attendee lists, and check-ins are tracked automatically. No manual data entry or formula maintenance.
CSV Export
Export your sales data to CSV anytime for custom analysis. Get the spreadsheet format when you need it.
Live Dashboard
Real-time check-in dashboard shows who has arrived, ticket counts, and revenue. Better than refreshing a spreadsheet.
Team Collaboration
Invite team members to manage events together. Role-based access is built in, not a shared spreadsheet link.
REST API
Need custom integrations? Use the REST API to connect Event Schedule with your other tools programmatically.
Webhooks & Integrations
Connect Event Schedule to your other tools with webhooks and REST API. Automate workflows without manual data copying.
The swap sheet
Google Sheets vs Event Schedule
Line by line, on the event work. A dash in the Google Sheets column means that job is not built in, so today it is living in another tab. A tick in the Event Schedule column does not mean free: the three cards below say which plan carries what.
From $0/mo (Pro $9/mo)
| Feature | Google Sheets | Event Schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Attendee tracking | Manual entry | Automatic |
| Ticket sales tracking | Manual entry | Real-time dashboard |
| Public event pages | Not built in | Yes |
| QR code check-in | Not built in | Yes |
| CSV export | Yes | Yes |
| REST API | Google API | Yes |
| Team collaboration | Shared sheets | Role-based access |
| Platform fees | N/A | Zero |

Pro
$9 a monthTicketing with QR check-in and the check-in dashboard. Custom fields on the form, waitlist, promo codes, sales export. Event graphics, the embeddable ticket widget, the REST API and webhooks. 100 newsletter emails a month.
Enterprise
$29 a monthYour own domain. Up to five team members. Internal and unlisted events. AI flyer and style generation, AI agenda scanning, WhatsApp event creation, and 1,000 newsletter emails a month.
Two footnotes worth reading before you switch. Your follower list is never capped, but the monthly newsletter allowance counts recipients rather than sends, so one letter to 40 followers spends 40 of it. And Free is a single team member; extra members are Enterprise. What does not change with the plan is the fee on ticket sales, which is zero on all three. Past Stripe's own processing, the money is yours.

About Google Sheets
Google Sheets is a go-to tool for event organizers who need to track attendees, manage guest lists, and organize event details. But spreadsheets were not built for event management - they require manual data entry, have no attendee-facing features, and become unwieldy as events grow.
What it is good at
- Flexible data structure for any type of tracking
- Real-time collaboration with team members
- Free and available to anyone with a Google account
Why switch to Event Schedule?
Spreadsheets require manual data entry for every sale and attendee. Event Schedule tracks everything automatically with a live dashboard.
What moves across
- Automatic tracking of ticket sales, attendees, and check-ins
- CSV export when you need spreadsheet-format data for analysis
- REST API for custom integrations with your other tools
- Live check-in dashboard instead of a static spreadsheet
Google Sheets to Event Schedule FAQ
What people ask before they move the event work across.
Is Event Schedule a good Google Sheets alternative for event tracking?
Yes. Event Schedule automatically tracks ticket sales, attendee lists, and check-ins. You get a live dashboard instead of a static spreadsheet, and you can export to CSV anytime for custom analysis.
Is there a free plan for Event Schedule?
Yes. The free plan includes unlimited events, Google Calendar sync, newsletters, and fan engagement features. Ticketing with automatic tracking and zero platform fees is available on the Pro plan for $9/month.
Can I still export data to a spreadsheet?
Yes. Pro plan includes CSV export of your sales data, so you can use spreadsheets for custom analysis when needed. The difference is that data collection and tracking happens automatically instead of through manual entry.
Can multiple team members access event data at the same time?
Yes. Event Schedule supports team collaboration with role-based access. Multiple team members can view dashboards, manage events, and check in attendees simultaneously without worrying about overwriting each other in a shared spreadsheet.

Yes. The Pro plan includes a REST API that lets you pull event data, attendee lists, and sales information programmatically. Connect Event Schedule with your CRM, accounting software, or any other tool.
