Stop Managing Events With Google Forms

Google Forms works for collecting responses. But managing real-world events requires more — attendance tracking, payments, and a better experience.

The Problem with Forms

Legacy tools weren't built for movement.

Repetitive Entry

Asking your regulars for the same info every week. Users get tired of typing their names and emails repeatedly.

No Payment Integration

Chasing people for screenshots on WhatsApp. Managing messy spreadsheets for paid vs unpaid entries.
