Event Schedule is open source under the Attribution Assurance License and can be self-hosted.

Event Schedule in depth
Read the full write-up
Event Schedule is an event-management platform that combines ticketing, appointments, newsletters and check-in. It is best suited to independent performers and small event operators who want those workflows together, with self-hosting available to teams prepared to run their own server. The hosted free tier is useful for trying the basics, but paid ticket sales and broader team use require an upgrade.
Overview
The platform spans event registration and ticketing as well as appointment booking and email marketing. That breadth can reduce the need to assemble separate tools for an event’s bookings, attendee communications and check-in. Its free plan supports free registration and QR check-in, but paid ticket sales are a Pro feature.
Ticket payouts go to the organizer’s own payment account, and the company says it charges no platform fee. That is a meaningful advantage for organizers weighing ticketing costs. The product is open source under the Attribution Assurance License; the maker says hosted-service code is publicly available, and users can install it on their own server. Self-hosting includes every Enterprise feature at no cost according to the maker, but it means choosing the self-hosted route rather than a hosted plan.
Key features
Events, tickets and appointments
Ticket types, add-ons and promo codes cover common paid-event needs; reserved seating is reserved for hosted Enterprise. QR-code check-in helps connect registration with entry, while agenda building, speaker profiles and attendee login add useful event-page functions. Appointment booking supports free or paid sessions in each guest’s time zone, with calendar sync intended to prevent double-booking.
Marketing and integrations
Newsletters offer a drag-and-drop editor, audience segments and A/B testing. Monthly recipient allowances rise by plan, from 10 on Forever Free to 100 on Pro and 1,000 on Enterprise, so the free tier is a small-scale test rather than a substantial campaign allowance. Calendar sync works with Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 or Outlook, and CalDAV; payment options include Stripe, PayPal, Payfast and Invoice Ninja. Pro adds a REST API and webhooks for teams that need programmatic access or event-driven connections.
Privacy and security
The privacy policy says data in transit uses HTTPS/TLS, sensitive information is encrypted at rest, and access is controlled through authentication and roles. It also says analytics tracking is opt-in: declining or not responding means no analytics cookies are set.
Pricing
Forever Free costs nothing. It includes unlimited events and schedules, one free appointment type, 10 newsletter emails per month, and free event registration with QR check-in. The one-team-member cap makes it a better fit for a solo organizer than a collaborative operation.
Pro costs $5 a month, billed monthly after your 7-day free trial. It adds paid ticket sales, a REST API and webhooks, 100 newsletter emails per month, and no platform fees. This is the practical entry point for organizers selling tickets, though the newsletter allowance remains modest.
Enterprise costs $15 a month, billed monthly after your 7-day free trial. It adds reserved seating, multiple team members, custom domains, priority support and 1,000 newsletter emails per month. It suits teams that need shared access or assigned seats, but self-hosting may be preferable for those able to manage their own server and seeking the maker’s stated Enterprise feature set at no cost.
Platforms
Event Schedule is available on the web and via API, and can be self-hosted. Its listed platform range does not include mobile apps, so teams wanting a dedicated Android or iOS app should compare alternatives.
Who it's for
The maker describes its audience as talent, venues and curators, including musicians, DJs, comedians and food trucks. The combination is particularly relevant to independent organizers managing both events and appointments. It is less suitable for teams that need several hosted users without paying for Enterprise, or for campaigns that quickly outgrow the free newsletter cap.
Pros and cons
Broad event toolkit: Ticketing, appointments, newsletters, registration and check-in sit together, which can simplify operations for small organizers.
Organizer-controlled payouts: Ticket proceeds go to the organizer’s own payment account, and the company says it charges no platform fee; paid sales still require Pro.
Open-source self-hosting: The maker says every Enterprise feature is included at no cost on a self-hosted installation, appealing to teams able to operate their own infrastructure.
Restrictive free-tier collaboration and email: One team member and 10 newsletter emails per month limit the free plan’s usefulness beyond solo trials and small-scale activity.
Hosted feature split: Paid ticketing starts at Pro, while reserved seating and multiple team members require Enterprise.
Alternatives
Eventzilla is worth comparing if mobile apps matter: it supports Android and iOS as well as web and API, and its Basic plan charges $1.50 a month per registration for unlimited events, unlimited free registration types and one paid ticket or registration type.
EventCreate may suit a simple, tightly capped free event: its Free plan allows one event, 50 attendees and one user, with a 5% ticketing fee.
Eventbrite is another freemium choice for organizers prioritizing broad event publishing; its free plan allows unlimited publishing, with no ticketing fees on free tickets and no size limit for free events.
Luma offers a free plan with unlimited events and guests per event, 500 invitations or newsletters per week, and three calendar admins, making it an option when those free allowances fit better.
Hi.Events is a relevant alternative for self-hosting or Linux support. Its free Cloud plan has no monthly fee and unlimited events and ticket types, but paid tickets carry a 1.25% + $0.60 fee, added at checkout by default.
Indico is a free, self-hosted alternative for teams seeking open-source event software.
RegFox offers a free Standard plan with a $0.99 + 1% fee per paid registration, capped at $4.99 per registrant; it is worth considering if that per-registration pricing fits your event economics.
Evento is another free event option.

Verdict
Event Schedule is a strong fit for independent talent and small event operators who want ticketing, appointments, marketing and check-in in one system, especially if self-hosting is practical. Its combination of organizer-controlled payouts and a stated no-platform-fee policy is compelling once Pro enables paid sales. Look elsewhere if you need a generous free team plan, larger email allowances at low cost, or native mobile apps.
Verdict
Event Schedule brings several event operations into one platform, with free and paid plans as well as self-hosting. Check plan limits and the feature differences before choosing a hosted tier.
