How we grade them
| 2.6GPAEventzillaGood | 2.8GPATicketLeapGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$1.50 a paid registration on Basic, $300 on 200 $20 tickets, or $376 on Pro at 1.9% + $1.50, which you need for more than one paid ticket type. Processing is on top and not counted. You can pass the fee to attendees. Towards the dear end, and Scale swaps fees for a yearly plan from $200 a month. | BBuyers pay by default, so you keep the full ticket price. The fee is $1 + 2% a ticket plus a 3% online transaction fee: $400 on 200 $20 tickets. No separate card fee is listed, so that's the whole bill, where most rivals add card processing on top. Absorb it and it's yours. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree events cost nothing, with unlimited events, and no plan but Scale has a subscription. But premium features for free events, such as agendas and call for papers, need an add-on whose price isn't published. | AEvery feature, no subscription and no contract, and free events cost nothing even if you never sell a paid ticket. |
| Features | BTicket types, donations, merchandise, invoices, agendas with session check-in, speaker and sponsor management, abstracts, badge printing, kiosks, virtual events and an event website builder. It covers the whole job, and then some for conferences. | CTimed entry, seating charts, pay-what-you-want tickets, waivers, a scanner and box office app, ticket exchanges and a weather guarantee. The gap is getting paid: money arrives 4 to 7 business days after the event, never before it. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record. There's a lot here, from the website builder to badges and abstract reviews, so expect a learning curve before your first event goes live. | CNo App Store rating on record. There's no payment processor to connect, as money runs through TicketLeap's own Stripe setup, but you still build event pages, ticket types and seating charts. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.Net, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Zapier, webhooks and an API, plus an organizer mobile app for check-in. No desktop app, which an A needs. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Apple Pay and Google Pay. No API on record and no desktop app, and tickets sell only in US, Canadian and Australian dollars. |
