Built for Independent Hosts, Not Mega-Events
Take full control of your events with instant UPI payments, zero platform lock-in, and tools designed for individuals, not corporations.
Where Legacy Platforms Fall Short
Delayed Payouts
Waiting 7-15 days for your money to clear? Legacy platforms hold your cash hostage while you pay for expenses today.
High Commissions
Up to 15% booking fees eat into your thin margins. They take a cut of your hard work without adding extra value.
Platform Lock-in
No access to your own attendee data. You don't own the relationship with your fans; the platform does.
