VenueStack vs Tripleseat

Tripleseat’s packages page, checked 16 October 2026, says it starts at $375 per venue per month, with unlimited users and integrations. Add-ons such as Tickets, Floor Plans, Direct Book and Insights are priced individually. Its comparison page says there is no free trial. Its service agreement runs for one year, billed in US dollars, and renews unless either side gives 30 days’ notice.

Event management software for venues that sell private events and group bookings. Its platform pages, checked 16 October 2026, cover the path from inquiry to payment: web forms and one inbox, a contact CRM, branded proposals, contracts and BEOs with digital signatures, and payments. Floor Plans, Direct Book, Tickets, Venue Marketplace and Insights are add-ons. Its industry pages run from restaurants, hotels and caterers to wedding venues, bars and nightclubs.

Its bars and nightclubs page, checked 16 October 2026, is written for private events, buyouts and bottle service bookings: one inbox for inquiries, proposals and contracts signed online, deposits and F&B minimums, and a shared run of show. Its pages don’t describe VIP tables sold from a floor plan on a regular club night, door guest lists or a door headcount, so ask before you rely on it. VenueStack books VIP tables on your floor plan with deposits and minimum spends, runs guest lists, scans tickets and keeps a headcount every door shares.

Through its Tickets add-on, which its help center lists for venues in the US and Canada. Checked 16 October 2026, its pages describe ticket types with tiered and early-bird pricing, VIP packages, promo codes set through pricing groups, branded landing pages and email blasts. Door staff check guests in by QR code on a check-in website, with an access code. Its own examples are tastings, classes, ticketed dinners and live entertainment. VenueStack sells tickets with tiers and promo codes and scans them at the door, offline too once each device opened VenueStack online before doors.

Yes, on events. Its Payments page, checked 16 October 2026, keeps payment schedules, deposits, F&B minimums and add-ons inside each event. Guests pay online through a branded guest portal, or by QR code when the event closes. Its F&B minimum article counts menu items against the minimum and lets staff add any unmet amount to the bill at close. In VenueStack you set a deposit and minimum spend for each section on a night, and guests pay the deposit when they book their table.

On the published monthly price, yes. VenueStack is $200 a month with every feature, and Tripleseat’s packages page, checked 16 October 2026, starts at $375 a venue a month before add-ons. The two do different jobs: Tripleseat sells private events with proposals, contracts and BEOs, and VenueStack runs tickets, tables and the door. VenueStack adds 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, so compare a real month of the nights you run.

Note your renewal date. Tripleseat’s service agreement, checked 16 October 2026, runs for one year and renews unless you give 30 days’ notice, and each venue added later starts its own one-year term. It says your data stays available in a machine-readable format for 30 days after the agreement ends, at no cost. If private events stay in Tripleseat, only the club nights move. Rebuild one night in VenueStack and rehearse it before moving live bookings. We don’t promise an automatic import.

Yes, as two separate tools. Tripleseat sells private events with proposals, contracts and BEOs, and VenueStack sells the club’s own nights and runs the door. They don’t connect to each other, so when a buyout takes a club night, update both calendars.
