PartySpot vs CrowdCue

PartySpot turns any party into a shared experience. Everyone helps choose the music - and all photos & videos automatically land in one place. PartySpot is made for private celebrations: birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, garden parties. You invite your guests personally - and only someone with your secret code gets in. HOW IT WORKS As the host, you create the party and share the QR code and secret code with your guests. The music plays through your own Spotify Premium or Apple Music - straight from the app on your phone. As a guest, you join without an account of your own: scan the QR, pick a name, enter the code, done. Suggest songs and vote - the majority decides what plays next. Take photos and short videos that appear in your party's gallery instantly. WHAT MAKES PARTYSPOT SPECIAL - Real-time music voting - through your own Spotify or Apple Music, no extra subscription for the app - Shared photo & video gallery - in your own cloud (Dropbox / Google Drive) or in PartySpot storage - Join without an account of your own - via QR, link or code, always with your secret code - You stay in control - you approve guests, can remove pictures and end the party at any time - Live View for the big screen - song timeline and a slideshow of the newest pictures - Automatic recap - a music-synced slideshow after the party - Scheduled voting windows & modes - from simple upvotes to "peak in the middle" and genre clusters - Announce it on the map if you like - even then, only someone with your secret code gets in In 10 languages. With "Sign in with Apple" and Google. GOOD TO KNOW For the music, you as the host need your own Spotify Premium or Apple Music subscription. PartySpot does not stream music itself. "Spotify" and "Apple Music" are trademarks of their respective owners; PartySpot is not officially affiliated with them.

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.
