A Ryzer alternative built for registration — not recruiting.
Ryzer has spent years focused on college and youth sports camps, tied closely to its recruiting and athlete-matching tools. Since its acquisition by Scorability in late 2025, that focus has shifted even further toward recruiting and evaluation technology. If you just need a clean, professional way to run registration for your event — tournament, fundraiser, camp, or community event — Simplevents is built for that job specifically.
What changed with Ryzer
In November 2025, Scorability — a college athletic recruiting and evaluation company — acquired Ryzer. The combined platform is now positioned around connecting athletes to college coaches through verified data and recruiting tools, with event registration folded in underneath that goal.
That's a meaningful shift if your event isn't about recruiting at all. A golf fundraiser, a youth camp, a community 5K, or a league sign-up doesn't need athlete evaluation tools — it needs a registration page that looks good, collects the right information, takes payment, and gets out of the way.
Simplevents doesn't have a recruiting product to sell you. Registration is the whole platform, not a feature attached to something else.
Simplevents vs. Ryzer
We aim to keep this comparison accurate and up to date. If something here changes on Ryzer's end, let us know and we'll update it.
You decide who pays the fees. Not us.
A lot of registration platforms bake a fixed service fee into every registrant's checkout, whether that makes sense for your event or not. Simplevents doesn't lock you into one model. Every event owner chooses how Simplevents and Stripe processing fees are handled:
Whether you're running a low-margin community fundraiser where every dollar needs to go to the cause, or a paid tournament where covering the fee is standard, the choice is yours — and it can change event to event.
Who Ryzer is still a good fit for
Ryzer has real scale in one specific lane: college and youth sports camps tied into recruiting exposure. If your event's primary goal is getting athletes seen by college coaches, and you want that recruiting infrastructure bundled in with registration, Ryzer's ecosystem — now backed by Scorability's evaluation tools — is built for exactly that.
Simplevents is the better fit when recruiting isn't the point, and you want a platform whose entire job is making your registration and event page excellent — without paying for or navigating tools you won't use.
Common questions
What's the main difference between Simplevents and Ryzer?
Ryzer is built around college and youth sports camps with recruiting and athlete-matching tools attached. Simplevents is built purely for event registration — tournaments, fundraisers, camps, and community events — without a recruiting product bundled in.
Does Simplevents charge registrants a fee like Ryzer does?
Not automatically. Ryzer charges the registrant a service fee by default. With Simplevents, the event organizer chooses whether they cover the fees, pass them to the registrant, split them, or let the registrant decide at checkout.
Did Ryzer get acquired?
Yes. Scorability, a college athletic recruiting and evaluation company, acquired Ryzer in November 2025. The combined platform is oriented more toward recruiting and athlete evaluation, with event registration as part of that broader system.
Can I switch from Ryzer to Simplevents mid-season?
Yes — most organizers set up their next event on Simplevents directly rather than migrating historical data. Request a demo and we'll walk through what that looks like for your event calendar.
Is Simplevents good for golf tournaments, camps, and fundraisers?
Yes. Simplevents is used across tournaments, fundraisers, camps and clinics, and general community events — anywhere an organizer needs a polished registration page without recruiting features they won't use.
