Which one is for you
Pick Eventyay if
- Fits if you run an open-source or community conference
- Works for teams that want to host their own ticketing
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you don't want to run a server, as self-hosting means upgrades and backups are yours
- Skip it if you want the hosted service priced, since its fees aren't stated
- Too light for small sellers who want a quick sign-up, as it has no public pricing page
- Watch out: Docker set-up is a task for someone technical
Pick Tito if
- Fits if you run a tech or developer conference and want checkout on your own site
- Works for charity and community events, which pay 2.5% instead of 3%
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want buyers to pay the booking fee on top of the ticket
- Skip it if you need reserved seats or sales at the door
- Watch out: fees are charged in euros, and Stripe or PayPal processing comes on top of the 3%
- Tight if you can't add code to your site, as the embedded checkout needs a snippet
- Pricey if you run invitation-only events, as Tito Pro starts at €99 a month and has a waiting list
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAEventyayFair | 2.8GPATitoGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe code is free under Apache 2.0, but you have to host it, so it is a C. Fees for the hosted service are not shown. | B3% of each paid ticket, so 200 tickets at $20 costs you $120 a month, with Stripe or PayPal fees on top that we haven't counted. You pay it, since Tito won't add it for buyers, and it's billed in euros. Among the lowest fees here at this size. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe code is free with no cap, though you need a server to run it. | ANo subscription or setup fee, and every feature is included whatever you sell. Free events cost nothing, so a meetup that never charges never pays a thing. |
| Features | BTickets, orders, refunds, call for proposals, schedules, badges, check-in and a widget cover the conference job. | CEmbedded checkout, waitlists, secret and invoice tickets, discount codes, pages in 15 languages and check-in apps cover a conference. But there's no reserved seating or selling at the door on record, and the fee can't be passed to buyers. |
| Ease of use | DIt is installed with Docker and you run deployment, backups and upgrades. | CNo App Store rating on record. You connect Stripe or PayPal and build an event page, and putting the checkout on your own site takes a snippet of code: easy for developers, less so for everyone else. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb with an API, plugin system and embeddable widget. No phone apps are listed. | BWeb, plus iPhone and Android check-in apps, with Stripe, PayPal, Google Tag Manager, Facebook, webhooks and a full read and write API. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | open-source conference ticketing you host yourself | tech conferences and meetups |

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.
