It works for concerts, conferences, and corporate events. But it wasn't built for sports. Stridee is purpose-built for running clubs and event organizers: - **Route sharing**: Upload GPX files so participants can preview and download the course—no premium subscription required. - **Event media**: Upload photos and videos from your events. Participants can relive the experience and share with friends. - **Memberships**: Build recurring revenue with paid club memberships, not just one-off ticket sales. - **Own your contacts**: Export your member list anytime. Send newsletters, build relationships outside the platform. ## When to Choose Eventbrite Eventbrite might be a better fit if: - **You need reserved seating**: Eventbrite has seat maps for venues with assigned seating. - **You want marketplace discovery**: Eventbrite has a large built-in audience browsing for events. We don't promote your events—you bring your own community. - **You're running non-sports events**: Conferences, concerts, and corporate events may be better suited for a general-purpose platform.
