PartySpot vs CrowdCue

PartySpot turns any celebration into a shared experience: your guests help choose the music, all photos land in one place – and everything from the schedule to the ride home is planned. PartySpot is made for private celebrations: birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, garden parties. You invite your guests personally – by invitation, QR code or link, optionally with a secret code as well. HOW IT WORKS As the host, you create the party and share the invitation. The music plays through your own Spotify Premium or Apple Music – right on your phone. Guests join without an account of their own: scan the QR code, pick a name, done. They suggest songs, vote and share photos and short videos. BEFORE THE PARTY - Invitation as image or PDF, with QR code and schedule to print - “Info” tab: schedule, guest list with RSVPs, bring list, tasks & helpers, rides, calendar entry - Gift & kitty: guests chip in together – visible to guests only, the host sees none of it - Reminder before the party ON THE NIGHT - Real-time music voting – no extra subscription for the app - Six playback modes: from simple “Most popular next” to “Peak”, “Newcomer” and “Playlist & guest wishes in turn” – per part of the night - Live view on a TV or projector (HDMI, AirPlay) – on iPad, music, live view and photos side by side - iPhone Duo: live view when folded, music and photos side by side when unfolded - Shared photo & video gallery with voting and comments – in PartySpot storage or your own cloud (Dropbox, Google Drive) - Short messages between you and your guests - For you as the host: lock the music device (the live view keeps running, shows the QR code to join, unlock with Face ID) and use a second device of your own as a remote YOU STAY IN CONTROL - Remove pictures and end the party at any time - Messages can be reported and senders blocked; you can turn messages off for your party AFTER THE PARTY - Automatic recap: a slideshow in time with your music - Photo collage of the favourite pictures to share - Every song played, as a file - Download photos in full resolution if you allow it – ratings and comments stay inside the image PRICING Your first small party is free.

CrowdCue turns your audience into your setlist.

No app download for them. Just a link or QR code on the table, on your case, or up on screen. HOW IT WORKS - Set up your setlist once — the songs you actually know - Share your personal link (crowdcue.io/yourname) or QR code at the show - Fans search your setlist, request a song, and tip if they want - Watch requests roll in live on your dashboard — tipped requests automatically float to the top of the queue - You always decide what to play BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY GIG - Real-time request queue, no refreshing - Fans can tip via Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or card — whatever they've got in their pocket - Manage multiple setlists for different types of shows - Post-show analytics: your most-requested songs, tip totals, and trends over time - Add a custom "Book Me" link so fans can find your next show or contact you directly - SMS retargeting (Pro) — text fans when you're playing back at a venue they've seen you at before PRICING Start free with a 30-day trial.
