The report card
Best for small paid events and membership groups on a cheap plan
Explara sells event tickets and membership groups, with a free Starter plan and paid plans at $9 and $25 a month. The 4% ticket fee applies on every plan, so paying only lifts the limits on events and groups.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Growth is $9 a month, at the edge of the category's $15 cheaper quarter, but the 4% ticket fee is charged on every plan. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Starter is free for 1 event a month and 1 membership group, with only 5 free transactions on your own Stripe or PayPal. |
| Features | C | Branded pages, membership groups, check-in, badges, forms and surveys. Higher plans mostly add event and group counts. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up event pages, forms and payments. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with Stripe, PayPal and WhatsApp connections. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Explara is for
- Fits if you run about one event a month
- Makes sense if you want a paid membership group next to your events
Who it is not for
- Tight if you run more than 1 event a month on Starter
- Pricey if you expect upgrading to cut fees, since the 4% fee stays on Growth and Pro
- Watch out: the 4% fee is stated as domestic only, and Stripe adds 1% a transaction
- Watch out: there is no annual billing option on the page
Good to know
Good for
- Small organizers who want to start free and pay per sale
- Communities that pair events with a membership group
- Organizers in India, Asia, Europe or the US (the vendor lists offices there)
Worth knowing
- The 4% fee applies on every plan, so the monthly plans only raise limits on events and groups.
- The 4% fee is stated as domestic only, and a further 1% applies per Stripe transaction.
- Starter allows 1 event a month; extra capacity needs Growth or Pro.
- Prices are shown in US dollars with no annual billing option on the page.
