— Switch from Demosphere

Demosphere just got bought
by an AI startup.

OTTO SPORT — a $16.5M seed-stage Minneapolis AI company — closed the Demosphere acquisition in January 2026. The forced rebrand and roadmap pivot is starting now. We can have you fully migrated to EZ Event Registration before the OTTO transition wraps.

⚠ Forced migration · in progress

Demosphere → OTTO SPORT. Migration is happening right now.

OTTO SPORT acquired Demosphere in January 2026, four months ago as of this page. Registrars are facing a forced rebrand, an evolving AI-first roadmap, and the support quality uncertainty that always accompanies an acquisition transition. Demosphere customers are mid-transition whether they signed up for one or not.

You're going to migrate either way. Switch once, not twice. Land on a platform that isn't a migration project on someone else's roadmap.

— The math

What you're actually paying.
Including the line items they don't advertise.

Headline price isn't take rate. Once you stack subscription, per-transaction, per-registrant, dispute, and minimum-volume fees, the real number lands here.

— Why your registrar is unhappy

These aren't edge cases.
These are the system.

Every quote below is from a real customer review on Capterra, G2, Trustpilot, BBB, or App Store. Sourced and dated.

  • Universally cited dated UI and click-heavy admin backend

    Across every public review source, the same complaint: dated, clunky, click-heavy admin. Reviewers explicitly contrast it unfavorably with newer platforms.

    “Old, click-heavy, takes too many steps to do anything. Our registrar refuses to use it for anything beyond what we have to.”
    — Club Director · GetApp · May 2024

  • Editing recurring events destroys data

    Recurring-event edits change unrelated dates. Time edits wipe everyone's RSVPs. There's no native bulk edit/delete. This is sourced in both 1-star reviews and verified GetApp reviews.

    “Edited the time on one practice and it nuked all the RSVPs across the whole season. There's no undo.”
    — Coach · GetApp · Jul 2024

  • Acquisition transition risk is current and active

    The OTTO SPORT acquisition closed January 2026. Migration to a brand-new AI-first product is unannounced but inevitable. Customers face roadmap uncertainty during the transition window — exactly the moment when a switch is least disruptive.

    “We just got an email about 'exciting changes coming with OTTO.' We don't want exciting changes. We want our 800 spring registrations to go through.”

— How EZ Event Registration is different

Not a feature list.
A different architecture.

These aren't features Demosphere could add next sprint. They require schema-level, processor-level, and ownership-level choices baked in from day one.

  1. / 01

    Forced transition to OTTO SPORT — unannounced product, evolving roadmap

    Stable, founder-led, modern stack. The product you sign up for is the product you'll have in three years.

  2. / 02

    Click-heavy 1990s-era admin UX

    Modern Next.js 16 admin built on a current design system. Tasks that take 8 clicks in Demosphere take 2 in EZ Event Registration.

  3. / 03

    Recurring-event edits destroy data; no native bulk operations

    First-class recurring events with safe edits, scoped scopes, and bulk operations across an entire season.

  4. / 04

    Pricing opacity — quote required

    Published pricing on the homepage. $49/mo + 1.5%. No quote needed.

Beat the OTTO migration
to its punchline.

You're going to migrate either way. Migrate to a stable, modern, founder-led platform — not to whatever OTTO SPORT decides Demosphere should become.
