Comparison
Vibook vs general ticketing platforms for Saudi student clubs
Eventbrite, Webook and Platinumlist are established general ticketing platforms that serve many kinds of events. Vibook is built for university clubs and organizers in Saudi Arabia. This page describes only what Vibook offers. We don't describe the other platforms because their features and fees change; check them on their own sites.
| What a club needs | Vibook | Ask any other platform |
|---|---|---|
| University review before publishing | Club events and announcements need approval from the club supervisor or university team, with a decision log. | Can a supervisor approve an event before it goes live? |
| A page for the university and its clubs | A site per university (for example kfupm.vibook.app) with its clubs, events and a club directory. | Is there one page that gathers a university's clubs and events? |
| Student-only tickets | A ticket tier limited to students of one university or to any student verified by university email. | Can a ticket be limited to verified students? |
| Free events | No platform fee on free events, on every plan. | What do free events cost? |
| Paid tickets | 3% platform fee on the Free plan, 0% on Pro and Business; payment processing is separate. | What is the fee and who pays it? |
| Entry on event day | QR tickets and a scanning tool for the club team, with a checker role that can't manage the club. | How does check-in work and who can scan? |
| Language | The whole platform in Arabic and English. | Are the interface and tickets available in Arabic? |
| Club management | Club memberships, team members and roles, forms, and announcements. | Does it manage club members, or only tickets? |
