Worth knowing
Eventzilla
- Paid registrations cost $1.50 on Basic, 1.9% + $1.50 on Pro and 2.9% + $1.50 on Plus, plus processing; organizers can pass the fee to attendees.
- Basic allows only one paid ticket type, and passing processing fees to buyers needs Plus and Eventzilla Payments.
- Premium features for free events, such as agendas and call for papers, need a paid add-on whose price is not published.
- The Scale card shows $200 a month billed annually, but the comparison table on the same page says annual pricing starts at $1,999 a year.
Ticket Tailor
- Paid tickets cost $0.85 each as you sell or from $0.30 with prepaid credits, plus VAT and processing (2.9% + $0.30 with Stripe in the US); organizers may pass fees to buyers.
- Reserved seats use an extra credit each, and tickets issued through the API or imported are charged even when free.
- Removing Ticket Tailor branding (white label) costs $49 a month and a custom domain alone $8; HubSpot, ActiveCampaign and Constant Contact links carry a monthly fee.
- You need your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account to take payments; Ticket Tailor never holds the ticket money.
