Sched review
A feature-rich event platform for schedules, reservations, check-in, and mobile apps.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sched is event management software for conferences, conventions, festivals, seminars, schools, and professional-development programs. It combines an event website and embeddable schedule with session planning, personalized agendas, speaker profiles, registration, ticketing, Stripe payments, feedback, messaging, reporting, and check-in. Organizers can also support virtual and hybrid events, while attendees can access schedules through web, iOS, and Android experiences. It is a strong fit for teams that need more than a basic calendar or single-purpose registration page.
The published plans use one-time event pricing and include 500 attendees. Engage costs $500 and includes an event site, custom agendas, email announcements and reminders, session feedback, and Sched apps. Reserve costs $1,500 and adds Eventbrite attendee sync, rules based on Eventbrite tickets, capacities, waitlists, printed attendance lists, and a Check-in App. Native costs $2,500 and adds branded native iOS and Android apps plus offline support. This structure makes the lower tier suitable for agenda-led events, while operational features and branded mobile delivery require higher plans.
Sched’s ecosystem supports Eventbrite, Stripe, Zoom, Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar, with API access for broader event reporting and integrations. Its feature breadth suits organizers managing multiple tracks, rooms, speakers, reservations, and attendee communications in one system. The trade-off is scope and cost: teams planning a simple event schedule may not need capacities, waitlists, check-in, hybrid support, or mobile apps. Choose Sched when event operations and attendee engagement are central; choose a narrower scheduling tool when the requirement is limited to publishing times and locations.
