Luma
What Luma is for
Luma excels when events are the product: polished event pages, RSVPs, and a discovery network that helps people find gatherings. It is built for organizers whose primary need is events, independent of running a chat community.

Inviter
What Inviter is for
Inviter is for organizers who already (or also) run a community on Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack. Events and tickets sit on the same branded page as member applications — with schema.org Event structured data on public event pages.
