Stop Paying for Modules.
Start Growing Your Drop Zone.

Burble has been a dominant force in drop zone software for years, but the skydiving industry is evolving faster than their platform can keep up. While Burble served drop zones well in the era of desktop computers and manual processes, today's dropzone operators need software that reflects how modern businesses actually run—mobile-first, conversion-optimized, and designed to drive growth, not extract fees.

The core problem with Burble's business model is that it was built to maximize recurring revenue through add-on modules. Need online bookings? That's an extra module. Want better analytics? Another charge. This approach made sense for Burble's bottom line, but it means drop zone owners pay more as they try to grow their business. EZDZ takes the opposite approach: we include everything in one transparent price because we only succeed when your drop zone thrives.

Modern skydiving operations demand modern technology. Burble's interface and technology stack were designed for an earlier era of computing. The result is a system that's clunky on mobile devices, requires extensive staff training, and can struggle to convert website visitors into paying jumpers. When you're running a drop zone, every abandoned booking is lost revenue—EZDZ's conversion-optimized checkout flow is designed to help more browsers become jumpers.

Staff efficiency matters more than ever. The skydiving industry faces the same labor challenges as every other business—finding good staff is hard, and keeping them happy is crucial. Burble's dated interface frustrates staff members who are used to the intuitive design of modern apps. Training new employees on Burble can take days or weeks. With EZDZ, staff get it immediately because our interface works like the apps they already use every day. Less training time, fewer mistakes, happier team members.

Drop zone management software should work how you actually operate. Burble was designed when manifest operations happened at a desktop computer in the office. But modern drop zones need flexibility—manifesting loads from the hangar floor, handling walk-ins from a tablet, letting jumpers check themselves in from the parking lot. EZDZ's mobile-first architecture means your staff can work from anywhere on the DZ, not tethered to a desk. This operational flexibility translates directly into better customer experience and more efficient load building.

The bottom line for drop zone owners is simple: Burble costs more, does less, and holds you back from growing your operation. EZDZ gives you everything you need—online bookings, manifest, payments, waivers, analytics, gear management—in one transparent price with no hidden fees, no module upgrades, and no long-term contracts. We're betting on our platform being good enough that you'll want to stay, not locking you in with contracts you can't escape.
