Luma (lu.ma) has built a slick interface for community RSVPs, but takes up to a 5% platform fee on paid tickets and lacks localized payment rails like native Indian UPI. URPASS delivers zero ticketing commission, sub-0.3s browser gate scanning, Ticket Studio multi-ratio passes, and direct payouts.

Luma is popular for tech social gatherings, but charges a 5% platform fee on paid registrations and relies primarily on Stripe checkout. URPASS is engineered for organizers running professional conferences, college fests, workshops, and meetups who want 0% per-ticket commission, instant Indian UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm) integration, sub-0.3s browser camera scanning without requiring volunteers to download apps, and full Ticket Studio pass customization.
FEATURES
Don't sacrifice 5% of your event revenue. Keep every rupee or pound earned on paid tickets through flat software pricing.
Attendees pay in seconds using their preferred UPI apps (PhonePe, GPay, Paytm) with direct T+2 settlement into your bank account.
Volunteers open a secure link on any smartphone browser to scan attendee QR codes in under 0.3 seconds. No app installs needed.
Prevent ticket forwarding and screenshot fraud. Once scanned, passes immediately lock across all entrance gates.
Choose from vertical badge (380x680), horizontal boarding pass (780x340), or square wallet pass (440x640) with custom hex accents.
Connect your event directly to Claude or AI agents to monitor attendance, query registration lists, and automate gate check-ins.
