Straight answers
Three lines we do not claim.
A card you can trust has to name what is missing from it. These three are true about Getvnt no matter which platform you are holding it against.
No marketplace
You bring the audience
Your public events can be listed on the Getvnt browse and search pages, but a listing is not a marketplace's built-in audience. What actually fills a room is your own schedule page, an embeddable calendar, a follower QR code, newsletters, and an interest list that emails people when tickets go on sale.
Seat maps are Enterprise
Ticket types, then seats
On Free and Pro a ticket type has a name, a price and a quantity, and buyers are not choosing a specific seat. A reserved-seating house needs Enterprise, where a venue schedule draws the room once and buyers pick their seats from the map.
One team member on Free
Extra members are Enterprise
The free plan is one person per schedule. Adding team members is on Enterprise and is capped at five on the hosted platform, so do not plan on inviting a whole staff for nothing.

The margin marks
Where the marks fall our way.
35 of the 41 lines above carry a diamond. Here are the 6 advantages over DICE that most often decide it, in plain language rather than table cells.
Web-First Access
DICE requires fans to download their app to buy tickets. Getvnt works in any browser - no app install required, no friction for your audience.
Direct Payments
With DICE, they control the money and pay you later. Getvnt connects directly to your own Stripe or PayPal account - funds go straight to you, and refunds go back the same way.
Calendar Sync
Two-way Google, Outlook and CalDAV sync keeps your schedule always up to date. DICE has no calendar integration whatsoever.
Fan Videos & Comments
Let fans share videos and comments on your events, building a community around your shows. DICE offers no fan-generated content features.
Custom Event Pages
Design your event pages with custom themes, colors, backgrounds, and your own domain. DICE locks every event into the same app template.
Newsletters
Reach your audience directly with built-in newsletters. DICE limits you to push notifications that only work if fans have the app installed.

About DICE
DICE is a mobile-first ticketing platform focused on live music, nightlife, and entertainment events. It handles ticket distribution, fan engagement, and event discovery through its app.
DICE's strengths
- Strong focus on live music and nightlife events
- Mobile-first app with curated event discovery
- Anti-scalping technology with mobile-only tickets
Why choose Getvnt?
Three things decide it against DICE: the money is yours, the code is public, and the calendar keeps itself in step with the one you already use.
What you get
- Zero platform fees on ticket sales, at every plan level, into your own Stripe or PayPal account
- Free registration with no monthly ceiling, and a ticket scanned at the door on every plan
- Refunds from the Sales page on Pro, in full or in part, that send the money back through Stripe or PayPal
- One checkout for tickets to several of your events, and an interest list that emails people when tickets go on sale
- Passes, gift cards and installment payments on Pro, and allocated seating for venues on Enterprise
- Two-way Google, Outlook and CalDAV sync, free, so the public listing and your own diary cannot disagree
- Open source under the Attribution Assurance License, and selfhostable, which resolves to Enterprise

How to switch in 4 steps
Nothing has to move on day one. The schedule is useful the moment it exists, and the events and the list follow at whatever pace suits you.
01
Create your schedule
Free, no card, and it has its own address the moment it exists. Nothing has to move before it is useful.
02
Bring the events across
Paste a listing or upload the flyer and the parser fills in the name, date, time, venue and description for you to check. Fifty a day on the free and Pro plans (ten during a Pro trial), a hundred on Enterprise.
03
Bring your list across
Export the addresses you already have and paste them in or upload a CSV, up to ten thousand rows, on any plan. What the newsletter allowance counts is sending to them, not holding them.
04
Connect Stripe or PayPal and sell
Your own Stripe or PayPal account, so the money settles into it rather than into ours. Zero platform fees on every plan, a ticket with a price on it is Pro, and refunds go back through the same account.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about switching from DICE.
Is it easy to switch from DICE to Getvnt?
Yes. Unlike DICE, Getvnt works in any browser so your audience does not need to download an app. Create a free schedule, add your events, and share a direct link. Your fans can browse and buy tickets instantly.
How does Getvnt pricing compare to DICE?
DICE absorbs its fees into ticket prices, meaning fans pay more than your listed price. Getvnt charges zero platform fees and connects directly to your own Stripe or PayPal account, so you control exactly what attendees pay.
Does Getvnt support music and nightlife events like DICE?
Yes. Getvnt handles any event type including concerts, festivals, and nightlife. You get ticketing with QR check-ins, event graphics generation, and a shareable schedule page, without being locked into a single event genre.
Do my fans need an app to get their tickets?
No. The ticket opens in any browser, from the confirmation email or the ticket page, each with its QR code, and buyers can also add it to Google Wallet where Wallet is switched on. The free scanner reads that same code at the door.
