Concert tracker apps, compared
There are three ways people keep track of live music: an alert app that tells them about shows coming up, a diary app that remembers the shows they went to, or a spreadsheet they built themselves. Here is how they compare, including where KonzertCheck is the wrong pick.

KonzertCheck vs a concert spreadsheet
A spreadsheet is the honest default, and many of the best concert histories started as one. It is yours, it never shuts down, and it holds any column you can think of. Where it runs out is everything around the list: you cannot attach the video of the encore, the setlist has to be copied over by hand, a four-day festival becomes forty rows, and none of your friends will ever open the file.

KonzertCheck vs Concert Archives
Concert Archives has been around longer and is the stronger choice if your goal is a complete archive, and it runs in a browser as well as on phones. Both let you see photos and videos other fans took at the same show. KonzertCheck is built around the review instead. Every show gets a score out of 10, a written take and up to three clips, and your home feed is what the people you follow rated last weekend.

KonzertCheck vs Songkick and Bandsintown
Songkick and Bandsintown answer "who is playing near me?". They watch the artists you follow or stream and tell you when a tour is announced, and they do it very well. Neither is designed to be a diary of the shows you went to. In late 2025 Songkick was sold by Warner Music Group to the AI music company Suno; Songkick says the service is continuing and that account data moves to Suno.
KonzertCheck covers both halves on a smaller scale: an upcoming tab with listings from Ticketmaster and See Tickets, and a diary for afterwards. Looking for a Songkick alternative?
And the newer concert diary apps?
A wave of new concert diary apps launched in 2025 and 2026, many of them good. Before you put years of shows into one, check what sits behind a monthly subscription. Photo and video uploads, unlimited logging and detailed stats are the usual candidates, and they are exactly the features a diary is for.
- KonzertCheck is free, with no paywall, ever. There is no subscription, no Pro tier and no trial that runs out.
- Every stat is free: shows per year, top artists and venues, genres, how you rate, your year in review and festival stats.
- Photos and videos are free on every show you log, up to three per review, with nothing to unlock.
- Logging is unlimited. Log every concert you have ever been to.
The app is funded by affiliate commissions from ticket sellers, not by you, and you can request a full export of your data at any time.
