How we grade them
| 2.8GPAFientaGood | 3.0GPAHumanitixVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BNo monthly fee and 3.5% of paid ticket sales (0.40 EUR minimum per order) with payment processing included, against a category whose middle plan is $60 a month. | BNothing for you by default, as buyers pay the fee. Humanitix's own part is 2.1% + $0.99 a ticket, $282 on 200 $20 tickets, or $458 at 5% + $1.29 with card processing folded in. That's a fair whack for buyers, which is why it isn't an A. You can absorb or split it instead. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree events get registration, confirmations, notifications, ticket scanning and list export at no charge, with no sign-up or monthly fee; paid events pay the fee. | ANo subscription or sign-up fee, every feature on every plan, and free events, imported tickets and manual orders cost nothing at all. |
| Features | BTicket types and discounts, checkout questions, payments and invoicing, reserved seating, online and hybrid events, reports and an API. | BSeat maps, capacity rules, merchandise, gift cards, invoices, a waitlist, an offline door app that sells and flags VIPs, and a marketplace you can search by access needs. Payouts come after the event by default, with earlier ones offered. 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. Event pages are designed with Canva tools, and Humanitix Payments means no processor account to set up, but there's still a page and tickets to build. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web dashboard with an API; the listing names Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, YouTube, Vimeo, Zoom and PayPal. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Stripe, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Facebook, Canva and Tixel for resale, plus a widget for your own site. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | self-serve ticketing with one percentage fee | ticket fees that go to charity |

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.
