FooEvents vs Ticket Tailor (2026): which should you pick?

Pick FooEvents if

• Fits if you already run WordPress and WooCommerce
• Works for agencies building ticketing sites for clients

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you don't run WooCommerce, as it works nowhere else
• Watch out: each domain needs its own license, and updates stop after 12 months unless it is renewed
• Pricey if you need door sales, as that is the $399 Point of Sale bundle
• Skip it if you want to try it first, because there is no trial

Pick Ticket Tailor if

• Fits if you sell pricier tickets and want a flat fee rather than a percentage
• Works for venues and attractions with timed or recurring entry

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you don't want to open a Stripe, PayPal or Square account
• Pricey if you want your own branding, as white label costs $49 a month and a custom domain alone $8
• Tight if you sell lots of seated tickets, as each reserved seat uses an extra credit
• Watch out: tickets issued through the API or imported are charged even when free
• Watch out: HubSpot, ActiveCampaign and Constant Contact links carry a monthly fee

FooEvents

• Runs only inside WordPress with WooCommerce installed; it is not a hosted ticketing service.
• Each domain needs its own license, and the license covers 12 months of support and updates, after which a subscription must stay valid to download updates.
• You still pay your payment gateway's own processing fees, and you host the site yourself.
• The page states a 14-day money-back guarantee; there is no free plan or trial.

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.
