Weekend Playbook
Read full descriptionHide full description
Weekend Playbook helps you discover local things to do and turn them into a simple, shareable weekend plan — fast. DISCOVER Browse events near you from multiple public sources — concerts, sports, arts, family and community happenings, library programs and local venues — all in one normalized feed. Filter by date (today, this weekend, next 7 days) and by category. BUILD A PLAYBOOK Add events and your own custom blocks (lunch, drive time, free time) into a simple timeline. Reorder, set times, add notes, and the app flags conflicts so your day actually works. SHARE Turn your plan into a clean shareable image, plain text, or a public link — and send it to friends and family. No one needs an account. PRIVACY-FRIENDLY No account required. Your plans stay on your device. Calendar entries are created through your device's own calendar editor — we never read or sync your calendar. Tickets open with the official source; we never process payments. Weekend Playbook by Dallas Tech Labs.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Weekend Playbook at none against Raya's 10. Raya's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#6 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
