Eventcube
White-label ticketing with a percentage fee and no monthly cost
Which one is for you
Pick Eventcube if
- Fits if you want ticket sales under your own brand without a monthly fee
- Works for organizers who sell few tickets and prefer a percentage to a subscription
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you sell a lot on Starter, as 5% plus Stripe's fee applies to every paid ticket
- Skip it if you don't use Stripe, as it is the only gateway outside Enterprise
- Tight if you want your own domain, branding removal or Zapier, as they need Pro at $125 a month
- Watch out: the default booking fee passes both fees to buyers, and UK prices exclude VAT
- Watch out: virtual events and memberships are separate products listed without prices
Pick Humanitix if
- Fits if you'd like your buyers' booking fees to fund charity work
- Works for charities and schools, which pay 3.9% + $1.29 a ticket in all
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you absorb the fees yourself, as 5% + $1.29 a ticket is more than the flat-fee rivals charge
- Not for you if you want ticket money before the event without asking, as payouts come after it by default
- Watch out: box office card sales in the app cost 3% + $1, and tax is added to every fee
- Watch out: with your own Stripe account, Stripe's processing fees come on top of the Humanitix fee
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAEventcubeFair | 3.0GPAHumanitixVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo monthly fee on Starter but 5% of every paid ticket plus Stripe's fee; Pro is $99 a month billed annually ($125 monthly), between the category's middle ($60) and its dearer quarter ($250). | BNothing for you by default, as buyers pay the fee. Humanitix's own part is 2.1% + $0.99 a ticket, $282 on 200 $20 tickets, or $458 at 5% + $1.29 with card processing folded in. That's a fair whack for buyers, which is why it isn't an A. You can absorb or split it instead. |
| Free plan and trial | BStarter has no monthly fee and full access to the ticketing platform at 5% of the transaction total; free events are never charged. | ANo subscription or sign-up fee, every feature on every plan, and free events, imported tickets and manual orders cost nothing at all. |
| Features | CA branded ticket store, booking fee control, instant payout, multi-event operations, a check-in app and an API, but Stripe is the only gateway below Enterprise. | BSeat maps, capacity rules, merchandise, gift cards, invoices, a waitlist, an offline door app that sells and flags VIPs, and a marketplace you can search by access needs. Payouts come after the event by default, with earlier ones offered. It covers the whole job. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You build each event, set up tickets and payments and test the checkout yourself, so there is a learning curve. | CNo App Store rating on record. Event pages are designed with Canva tools, and Humanitix Payments means no processor account to set up, but there's still a page and tickets to build. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web platform; the listing names Stripe, Zapier, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Stripe, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Facebook, Canva and Tixel for resale, plus a widget for your own site. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | white-label ticketing with no monthly fee | ticket fees that go to charity |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
