Humanitix
Event ticketing run as a charity that gives its profits away
Humanitix report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for ticket fees that go to charity
Humanitix does what a good ticketing site does, with seat maps, merchandise and a door app, but it's a registered charity that gives its profits to education and health projects for disadvantaged children. Buyers pay the booking fee by default, so selling costs you nothing. Just know that fee isn't small: 5% + $1.29 a ticket with card processing in.
Who Humanitix is for
- Great if you'd like your buyers' booking fees to fund charity work
- Good for charities and schools, which pay 3.9% + $1.29 a ticket in all
- Handy when you need seat maps, merchandise or invoices for group bookings
Who Humanitix is not for
- Pricey if you absorb the fees yourself, as 5% + $1.29 a ticket is more than the flat-fee rivals charge
- Not for you if you want ticket money before the event without asking, as payouts come after it by default
Why Humanitix gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyNothing 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.
- AFree plan and trialNo subscription or sign-up fee, every feature on every plan, and free events, imported tickets and manual orders cost nothing at all.
- BFeaturesSeat 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.
- CEase of useNo 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.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, 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.
