How we grade them
| 2.8GPAFientaGood | 3.0GPATicket TailorVery 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. | B$0.85 a ticket as you sell, so 200 tickets at $20 is $170 a month plus VAT, and prepaid credits from $0.30 a ticket bring that down. You pay it unless you pass it on as a booking fee. Card processing through your own Stripe, PayPal or Square isn't counted. Among the lower fees here. |
| 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 and nothing to pay until you sell a paid ticket, and your first five are free. Free events cost nothing up to 5,000 tickets a year, a cap few people will reach, though seated free tickets still use a credit each. |
| Features | BTicket types and discounts, checkout questions, payments and invoicing, reserved seating, online and hybrid events, reports and an API. | BEvent pages, embedded checkout, reserved seating, timed and recurring slots, memberships, gift vouchers, waitlists and a check-in app that works offline and takes Tap to Pay. It covers selling, the door and getting paid, since the money lands in your own account. |
| 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. You connect your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account before you can take money, then build your event pages, so there's a bit to set up first. |
| 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 Mailchimp, HubSpot, Zapier, WordPress, a public API and an MCP connector for AI assistants. No desktop app, which an A needs. |
| Best for | self-serve ticketing with one percentage fee | a flat fee per ticket instead of a percentage |

- Fees are stated in euros, and 24% VAT is added to Fienta's fee for private individuals, customers in Estonia and EU companies without a VAT number.
- Seating charts are the one core feature outside the standard fee.
- The page says a free mobile app scans tickets but does not name its platforms, so the platform list shows the web dashboard only.
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.

- 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.

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.
