What chapitô does

Chapitô, operated by the French company Code-Troopers and headquartered in Tours, is a no-code platform that enables event organizers to build customized mobile (iOS and Android) and web applications without technical skills. Founded in 2013 and active commercially since 2018, the platform delivers a cloud-based backoffice CMS that pushes real-time content updates to live apps within seconds, bypassing app-store review delays, and supports fully customizable branding, unlimited push notifications, interactive geolocated maps, offline functionality, and a web widget for embedding event content into organizer websites. The platform has been used to create over 130 applications serving more than 500,000 end-users across 60+ French event structures.

The product is anchored by a deep integration stack with the French live-event ecosystem: Chapitô holds exclusive partnerships with Yurplan (ticketing, 14M+ tickets/yr across 40,000+ events), Wilout (ticketing/cashless/access control), Heeds (event data with 180+ clients), and Safer (safety, embedded at no extra cost), alongside additional integrations with Spotify, Weezevent, Billet Web, Blablacar, Booking, Shopify, Typeform, and Flickr. Customers include music festivals (Printemps de Bourges, Fête de l'Humanité, Jazz à Vienne), SMAC concert venues (Le Metronum, La Belle Electrique), fairs (Foire de Tours, Strasbourg, Le Mans), conferences (MaMA, Touraine Tech), and student organizations.

Chapitô operates an annual subscription model with an Essential tier priced at €2,500 per year (excluding taxes) covering the core app builder, native iOS/Android publication (Apple Developer €99/yr and Google Play €25 fees passed through), schedules, push notifications, and statistics, plus a Custom tier for advanced features (geolocated maps, web widget, targeted notifications, Heeds sync, Spotify integration). Go-to-market is sales-led via Calendly demo scheduling, event-driven through industry presence, and amplified by partner co-marketing and customer testimonials. The company is bootstrapped with a 1–10 employee team and serves customers almost exclusively in France within the European market.
