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 TicketSpice if
- Fits if you sell at the gate as well as online and want one system for both
- Works for venues with seating charts or timed entry slots
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you only run free events, as free tickets then cost 99¢ each
- Pricey if you want to email and text buyers on Standard, at 2¢ an email and $19 a month plus 4¢ a text, or $1.49 a ticket on Premium to get them included
- Tight if you sell a lot at the gate on Standard, as box office card sales cost 49¢ a ticket
- Watch out: the plan cards call box office sales free on Premium and Pro, but the comparison table lists 25¢ and 10¢
- Watch out: a white-label domain is $150 a year, and 2.9% + 30¢ processing comes on top of the ticket fee
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAEventcubeFair | 2.6GPATicketSpiceGood | |
|---|---|---|
| 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). | C99¢ a ticket on Standard, so 200 tickets at $20 costs $198 a month, plus 2.9% + 30¢ processing that we haven't counted. You pay it unless you pass it on to buyers. Middle of the pack here, but on Standard emails are 2¢ each and texts $19 a month plus 4¢, and Premium, which includes them, is $1.49 a ticket. |
| 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. | BNo subscription, so nothing to pay until you sell. But free events are free only if you also run paid ones, otherwise free tickets cost 99¢ each, and on Standard email and texts cost extra. |
| 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. | BA drag-and-drop page builder, reserved seating, timed entry, an offline scanning app, a box office with cash drawer reports, iPad kiosks, merch and upgrades, and daily payouts before the event once approved. 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. The page builder has conditional logic and custom CSS, which means a fair bit of building before you sell. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web platform; the listing names Stripe, Zapier, Zoom and Microsoft Teams. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Stripe, Authorize.net, NMI, Cybersource and Paya as payment gateways, plus an API and webhooks. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | white-label ticketing with no monthly fee | festivals and attractions selling online and at the gate |

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.
