Radar vs Gigvault — which concert diary is better? (2026)
Compare Radar and Gigvault: Gigvault leads on Concert Buddies; Radar adds Find search, DMs, Pro crew & event chats, festivals, Clashfinder, map, and Wrapped.
Gigvault is a polished concert diary with Concert Buddies as a headline feature — seeing who went to the same shows and coordinating with friends.
Radar matches and extends that social layer: friends who were at a show on past gig pages, shared gig counts on friend profiles ("You and @sam have 12 shows in common"), free direct messages, and Pro crew and event chats when you're coordinating the next night out.
Where Radar pulls ahead: Find across Ticketmaster, Skiddle, and Eventbrite; Setlist.fm on every gig; festival Clashfinder; venue globe map; genre scenes from your gig history; and Concert Wrapped.
Gigvault is a strong diary if social is your only priority. Radar is the better fit if you want discovery, festivals, map, Wrapped, and social — in one app.
Both apps reward consistent logging. Try Radar free with ten gigs on iPhone and see if your crew shows up on the same pages.
