Top Rated Sched Alternatives
Sched makes event management so much easier with its intuitive user interface. The ability to bulk-upload sessions, users, and speakers—complete with helpful tagging options—was a huge time-saver. I also appreciated how the schedule could be integrated into our website, providing a professional look for our event. The email feature was another highlight, allowing us to send daily reminders, welcome emails, and customized newsletters to attendees. The event privacy features also gave us peace of mind when it came to restricting it to our participants only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While their customer service is quick and responsive, they don’t always have all the answers, which can leave you hanging in certain situations. Another area for improvement is the email customization options, particularly for subject lines and intros, which are sometimes pre-set and can’t be modified. Also, a Spanish-language user interface would be a fantastic addition. Lastly, the feedback feature could be more flexible to collect additional information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is our second year using Sched for a week-long Special Education professional development conference. It is a fantastic resource! Coordinating the event with it made scheduling 200+ attendees and 50 speakers simple. Thank you for this platform and extremely fast responses to all questions through excellent customer support!

I'm not sure there is anything I would say that I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Visual, themed, schedule. Works seamlessly cross-platform.
Our users were happy! Time zone management was brilliant across five and a half zones.
Daily schedule email reminders were well received.
Administrative possibilities are immensely valuable using the well-documented Rest interface.
Just in time (i.e. late) setting of Zoom links worked well - they are revealed shortly before event start times.
The company was very supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The emailed daily schedule does not localize event start times to the time zone of the reader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease with which the registration is undertaken. This platform constantly upgrades and improves everytime we use it. GREAT, responsive helpful support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing. There is nothing missing from this product and everything works properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used Sched many times to organize conferences. The people I work with have a wide range of technology comfort, and I don't think I've ever received a question about how it works from the user point of view, as far as registering for sessions. Even better, the back end is great too. Many options for uploading, many plans to really support your needs, and best of all the customer service is the best out there.

Sched doesn't really have any downsides. Maybe if you're an advanced web designer or coder it might feel too stiff? I really can't think of anything. It's truly ideal for organizing a conference, no matter how many sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use and embeddable into your website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We would still like to use it, but their pricing has skyrocketed! Some of features cannot be justified as selling points, like their website. The prices are literally three times as much as what we used to pay.
Also - Having Eventbrite as the only ticketing integration is shortsighted. Most do not use Eventbrite after they priced all SMEs out of their product. Having a ticketing solution integrated that is also integrated with Stripe is far more clever for folks like us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At the beginning of our for an event platform, we reviewed countless products, and decided to use Sched! We have been using the platform for almost 2 years and love the new integrations their team continually develops. It is a user-friendly platform to schedule events, communicate with attendees, collect feedback, and showcase events. As a non-profit, we were thrilled to see they offered an affordable discount, as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately, Sched does not integrate with Hubspot or Submittable at this time. It's also having issues with its new Zoom plug-in. It worked great for a couple of weeks and now doesn't work at all - there's a good chance that's a zoom problem though. Also, customer service, while friendly, has been a little slow to answer and about 80% of the time doesn't offer to help fix the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The schedule was easy to manage and it is very budget-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I needed much more to manage my event and provide attendees with information. Does not provide opportunities for sponsorship. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've never had a single complaint from an event participant about setting up an account and using sched to go through and pick their sessions. Given our user base, I always expect some and I get none. Room capacity and wait-listing are great features! I also love the automatic sending of individual schedules on the day of the event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm hopeful that they will soon let us mark attendees as "VIP" meaning they don't count towards the capacity...before the room reaches capacity. Currently this feature exists but you have to wait for the rooms to get full so that's a bit cumbersome...but I love that they have this status! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
