VenueStack vs Discotech

Discotech’s site, checked 16 October 2026, describes a nightlife booking service where guests sign up for free and discounted guest lists, book tables and buy tickets, with bottle service in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Ibiza “and 50+ other cities.” Its terms say Discotech isn’t the owner of any venue or the creator of the events it lists, and isn’t a party to transactions between users and venues.

Its List Your Business page, checked 16 October 2026, describes a commission-only model: “Pay only for the sales we generate.” It doesn’t publish a rate, a contract length or when venues are paid, so ask for those in writing. VenueStack is $200 a month with every feature. It charges 4% processing fees, at least $2 and at most $50 (C$2.50–C$50, €2–€50, £1.50–£50), plus Stripe’s card fees, and you choose whether guests or the venue pay each fee.

Not itself. Its ticket refund article, checked 16 October 2026 and last updated in March 2020, says “At Discotech, we do not sell any tickets ourselves” and names providers such as Eventbrite, TIXR, SeeTickets and Ticketmaster. Its terms add that ticket sales are always done directly with the ticket provider, so refunds go through whichever provider sold the ticket. VenueStack sells your tickets, with tiers and promo codes, on your own booking page.

Its booking process article, checked 16 October 2026, says a guest’s request goes to the venue’s owner, VIP director or general manager, and Discotech confirms it once they approve. If a deposit or card hold is needed, it sends the guest a secure link, and its terms say the venue’s cancellation policy applies. The club picks the table within the booked tier on arrival. In VenueStack, guests book a section of your floor plan, with its deposit and minimum spend shown at checkout.

Yes, as separate channels. Discotech’s booking article, checked 16 October 2026, says table requests go to the venue’s managers to approve and the venue enters the booking in its own system. VenueStack doesn’t connect to Discotech or import its bookings, so add each approved Discotech table yourself with New reservation on the Tables page. It then sits on your floor plan beside the bookings guests make on your own site.

Discotech’s privacy policy, checked 16 October 2026, says it shares a guest’s information with a venue to put them on a guest list or make a table reservation, and its terms ask guests for their full legal name so the venue can verify who they are. Ask which details you receive and whether you may email those guests later. In VenueStack, every order and booking on your own page builds your customer list, ready to tag and email about the next event.

For direct bookings, yes. Discotech brings guests who browse its listings, on the commission-only model its venue page described on 16 October 2026. VenueStack is your own booking page and widgets, where guests book tables, buy tickets and join guest lists, for $200 a month with every feature and a 14-day free trial on your first subscription. A venue can keep Discotech as one channel and take direct bookings on its own site.
