We ranked each platform on how many of these jobs its own published pages show it doing: 1. A staff rota with open shifts. 2. Budgets for what the event costs. 3. Passes for crew, artists and press. 4. A run of show and day sheets. 5. A show-day safety or incident log. 6. Ticket sales in the same system. ## The platforms, ranked Which staff scheduling tools suit event teams best?

Ticket Fairy comes first as the featured all-in-one option: Ticket Fairy publishes this list, it is our own platform, and you can staff your event, issue passes and sell tickets from it. Every other platform follows in order of how many of the six things we compared it includes on its own plans: a staff rota, budgets for what the event costs, staff passes, a run of show, show-day safety and ticket sales, not counting a feature sold as an extra cost. Labour cost tools, such as Deputy's wage budgets, RotaCloud's budget caps and Homebase's labour cost management, are not counted as event budgets. All six include one, the staff rota, so they follow in alphabetical order. We describe every platform from its own published pages, and every fact links to its source, so you can check it before you choose.
