Posh vs Ticket Fairy (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Posh if

• Fits if you promote parties or club nights
• Works for organizers who want door scanning and table sales in one app

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to know the fee before you sign up: none is published
• Watch out: payouts sit pending for 24 to 48 business hours, bar instant payouts
• Not for you if you need sales tax handled everywhere, as it is live in select places only
• Tight if you need Stripe, since payouts can't start without that onboarding

Pick Ticket Fairy if

• Fits if you run club nights or festivals and want to start on a free plan
• Works for promoters who want referral rewards and an AI assistant

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if buyers see fees: the default is 10% under $100, 9% from $100 and 8% from $250
• Watch out: the 30-day Plus trial needs a card
• Tight if you want more AI usage, as paid plans are mostly prepaid usage
• Watch out: the pages read do not say which phones its door app runs on

Posh

• No fee rate for organizers or attendees is published on the pages we read. The help center says a service fee is added to the ticket price, covering Posh and payment processing.
• Payouts need Stripe onboarding, and funds sit as pending for 24 to 48 business hours before they can be withdrawn, except for instant payouts.
• The help center describes sales tax auto-collection as live only for events in select locations.

Ticket Fairy

• Buyers pay the ticketing fee by default; the US schedule is 10% under $100, 9% from $100 and 8% from $250.
• Paid plans are mostly prepaid Fai usage; ticketing fees reduce that bill rather than replacing it.
• The pages read name the Entry Fairy app, but do not say which phone platforms it runs on.
