One weekend. One platform. Three fewer tools.
Showdown signups in Google Forms. Volunteer shifts in GroupMe. Tickets in Eventbrite. Replace all three with one platform built for student orgs that have no budget.
Paid ticketing without the Eventbrite tax
On a $20 ticket, Eventbrite adds a $2.53 service fee for the buyer. Ummah Free adds 60 cents. Your MSA receives the full $20 either way, so the difference is what your students pay.
- Paid ticket tiers (early bird, VIP, student)
- QR check-in at the door
- Shareable URLs (no app required to register)
- Live attendee count and revenue
One roster instead of three spreadsheets
Vendor coordination, volunteer shifts, and attendee lists all live in the same dashboard. Cohorts, halaqas, and committees inherit from the member directory.
- Vendor roster with check-in
- Volunteer shifts tied to member directory
- Committee and cohort grouping
- Real-time sync across the board
See what your Showdown actually keeps
Plug in your event size. Compare Free, Basic, and Advanced against Eventbrite and Luma.
On a masjid-management platform like MedinaApps, Mohid, or Masjidal? Pick “Custom solution” and plug in their fees.
Our paid plans are a subscription and a competitor’s fee is per event, so the only fair comparison is a whole year. The three plans below include the plan cost.
On this one event you would keep an extra $509 in platform fees on Ummah Advanced. Which Ummah plan is actually cheapest for you depends on your whole year, so check the three below.
