Ents24 listings can be filtered by genre, location, time frame, level of disabled access, as well as displaying only free events, events with special offer tickets, events from the visitor's tracked artists and other time-sensitive filters (e.g. Artists playing at this year's Brit Awards).{{cite web

While Ents24 do allow end-users to add events to their database, unlike other events websites, they check all submitted listings manually and often add photographs and additional copy. Listings can be added to the events guide for free.

Ents24 operate a number of email-based services, including a weekly newsletter and 'tour date alerts' which are sent to users when tour dates from one of their selected artists are added to the website. Around two million alerts are sent out each month.{{cite web

In October 2015, Ents24 launched the GigAlert app for iPhone 4S and above, allowing users to access its full event listings wherever they are, with or without a data connection, with or without logging in. It also allowed users to receive instant notifications when artists they have chosen to track announce a new show, and receive reminders just before tickets go on sale.{{cite web

In late 2017, Ents24 developed its Event Affinity Engine, an innovation that uses data connections to predict events that each individual is most likely to enjoy. The Engine formed the basis for two new tools; Smart Gift Finder, which predicts events, and Find Your Festival, which predicts festivals and rearranges the line-up to match an individual's tastes. The Event Affinity Engine was the sole UK nominee for the Insights & Analytics Award at the 2018 Ticketing Business Awards.{{cite web
