Odd Circles Review

Depends

Should I use Odd Circles?

Focus on your community and events, leave everything else to us! - oddcircles.com

· 1 month ago

Buy only if you are an indie organizer wanting community plus ticketing at low fees and accept a tiny, unproven vendor. Established or revenue-critical communities needing verified reviews, security documentation, or migration safety should look elsewhere.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~16 public sources; much positive coverage is vendor-published, so confidence is low.

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

Tiny vendor (Om Sai Raam Ltd); export your member data early in case it folds

medium

No published prices anywhere in evidence; you must sign up to learn costs

medium

Minimal-commission claims are self-reported; verify actual fees before moving ticket revenue

medium

Much positive coverage is vendor-published pages or self-submitted posts, not neutral reviewers
