Administrating the event is also simple. The list of ticket holders can be sorted alphabetically or by ticket number. Attendee’s contact information can be entered in the app to allow for easy ticket distribution. It also makes it easy for you to communicate with ticket holders in the future as needed. With Event Ticket Hero Premium, you can use Dropbox to sync events and ticket lists between devices. This way, you can use a different device to scan tickets at the door than you used to create the tickets! During the event, tickets can be scanned for entrance and exit. Visual scanning feedback and optional audio feedback makes it easy to distinguish between valid and invalid entries. All ticket scanning history is stored on the device scanning tickets. To ensure a ticket is only used once for entry, it is important that a single device is used to scan tickets at the door. This also means that no internet access is required at the event! Even if your concert is in a basement or your private party is at a remote setting off the grid, you can be an Event Ticket Hero!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Event Ticket Hero at 100% against TicketSource's 0%. Event Ticket Hero also leads on ratings volume (96 vs 1). TicketSource's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Event Ticket Hero sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. TicketSource asks for nothing beyond the download.
TicketSource holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Event Ticket Hero has 96 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Event Ticket Hero's written reviews are positive against 0% of TicketSource's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Event Ticket Hero ships an update every 3 months, TicketSource every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
