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 Ticket Tailor if
- Fits if you sell pricier tickets and want a flat fee rather than a percentage
- Works for venues and attractions with timed or recurring entry
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you don't want to open a Stripe, PayPal or Square account
- Pricey if you want your own branding, as white label costs $49 a month and a custom domain alone $8
- Tight if you sell lots of seated tickets, as each reserved seat uses an extra credit
- Watch out: tickets issued through the API or imported are charged even when free
- Watch out: HubSpot, ActiveCampaign and Constant Contact links carry a monthly fee
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAEventcubeFair | 3.0GPATicket TailorVery 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). | B$0.85 a ticket as you sell, so 200 tickets at $20 is $170 a month plus VAT, and prepaid credits from $0.30 a ticket bring that down. You pay it unless you pass it on as a booking fee. Card processing through your own Stripe, PayPal or Square isn't counted. Among the lower fees here. |
| 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 and nothing to pay until you sell a paid ticket, and your first five are free. Free events cost nothing up to 5,000 tickets a year, a cap few people will reach, though seated free tickets still use a credit each. |
| 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. | BEvent pages, embedded checkout, reserved seating, timed and recurring slots, memberships, gift vouchers, waitlists and a check-in app that works offline and takes Tap to Pay. It covers selling, the door and getting paid, since the money lands in your own account. |
| 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. You connect your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account before you can take money, then build your event pages, so there's a bit to set up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web platform; the listing names Stripe, Zapier, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Mailchimp, HubSpot, Zapier, WordPress, a public API and an MCP connector for AI assistants. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | white-label ticketing with no monthly fee | a flat fee per ticket instead of a percentage |

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
