Freshtix vs Vesper

The Freshtix mobile app allows Organizers of events selling tickets with Freshtix to track ticket sales revenue and manage attendees. The app gives you a summary of how many tickets have been sold to your event, how much revenue you have collected and how many tickets have been scanned in. Using the camera on your device or an optional bluetooth Barcode Scanner, you can scan the barcode on tickets presented at the entrance to your event or venue. The app scans the QR code to make sure the ticket hasn't already been redeemed. When scanning the ticket, the app will tell you which type of ticket was purchased. E.G. General Admission or VIP Admission. If the ticket is valid, the app will display a 'VALID' message. You can color-code your messages for different price types. For example, you can set your General Admission tickets to display a green valid message and your VIP Admission tickets to display a purple valid message. You can check someone in by searching for their name and manually checking them in if they don't have their ticket. Please get in touch with us if you like the app and have any feedback. We love getting your suggestions. To sell tickets to your event, create an event for free at Freshtix.com

Vesper is a working tool for people who follow Florida state government professionally — lobbyists, government-affairs teams, and the companies that sell to the state. It answers the questions that decide your week. What went out to bid this morning. Which contracts come up for renewal before session. What an agency actually paid a vendor, versus what the budget appropriated. Who represents you, and who runs each agency. IN THE APP Ask — a question in plain English, answered with its public sources attached; keep asking in the same conversation. Bids — every open solicitation from MyFloridaMarketPlace, closing soonest first, with what changed since your last visit and a plain-English summary drawn from the solicitation documents. Spending — the state's purchase orders and contracts, money layers kept separate; each company's page: what it sells, to whom, and who lobbies for it; the state's buying vehicles, how Florida buys, and each agency's technology. Recompete — contracts and renewals before they come back to market. Budget and LBR — the General Appropriations Act line by line with its provisos, and the agencies' budget requests. Legislature — all 160 seats: committees, sponsorship and member projects, and who represents any Florida address. Executive — the executive branch by name and by job, with this week's payroll changes. Lobby, Record and Law — the lobbying registry, Florida Channel hearings transcribed and searchable, and the Florida Statutes and Administrative Code. Saved — keep what you're tracking, in sync with vesperfl.com. HOW IT WORKS Vesper reads the state's own systems — MyFloridaMarketPlace, FACTS, Transparency Florida, the Florida Fiscal Portal — and keeps them current. Figures are shown as the state publishes them, and where two systems disagree, Vesper says so rather than quietly picking one. Browsing open solicitations needs no account. Everything else is by invitation: request an account at vesperfl.com. Vesper sells nothing, in the app or on the web.
