For the moment we are on both. Lanyrd does allow you to create a personal schedule, but apparently only through the mobile (iPhone, Android) apps they promote. Lanyrd is more modern, and I suspect that over the long haul they will overtake Crowdvine, because they seem able to make more effective use of web APIs, they are better known, and don't expect the individual users to do as much work.
