> Event ticketing run as a charity that gives its profits away

Humanitix is a ticketing platform set up as a registered charity: it charges booking fees like other platforms but gives all of its profits to education and health projects for disadvantaged children. Free events cost nothing, and every plan gets every feature, from seat maps and merchandise to a scanning and box office app. Buyers pay the booking fee by default, though hosts can absorb or split it, and large events can ask for custom pricing.

## Ways to pay less

- **Lower fee for charities and schools** (Nonprofit): Registered nonprofits, charities and schools pay 3.9% + $1.29 per paid ticket in all, instead of the standard 5% + $1.29. Source: https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/12292391-what-are-the-humanitix-booking-fees

## Key features

- **Event builder with Canva:** Branded event pages designed with Canva tools, an embeddable widget for your own site, and listing in front of the buyers who visit Humanitix.
- **Complex tickets and seat maps:** Capacity rules and ticket combinations, seat maps for tables, auditoriums or market stalls, merchandise add-ons, gift cards and invoices for corporate buyers.
- **Hosts app and box office:** The free Humanitix for Hosts app for iOS and Android scans QR tickets, keeps working offline, sells at the door and shows VIP alerts to door staff.
- **Guest management:** Guests update their own details without an account, bulk buyers assign names later, and an automatic waitlist releases tickets as they free up.
- **Promotion tools:** Email to attendees, promotional and affiliate codes, Mailchimp, Salesforce and Facebook links, and reports and live analytics on sales.
- **Accessible events:** An events marketplace where buyers can search by access needs such as sign language interpretation or wheelchair access, with the tools free to hosts and guests.

## Good for

- Charities, schools and community groups, which get a lower fee
- Hosts who want their ticket fees to fund charity work
- Events with seating, merchandise or corporate group bookings

## Worth knowing

- Paid tickets cost 5% + $1.29 each including processing, plus tax; buyers pay by default, or hosts absorb or split it. Box office card sales in the app cost 3% + $1.
- Humanitix is a registered charity that gives 100% of its profits to projects for disadvantaged children; its fees are what fund that work.
- Ticket money is paid out within five business days after the event by default; earlier, scheduled payouts are offered for hosts who need funds sooner.
- Payments run through Humanitix Payments, where the fee includes processing, or the host's own Stripe account, whose processing fees are charged on top.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 3.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: B.** Nothing 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.
- **Free plan and trial: A.** No subscription or sign-up fee, every feature on every plan, and free events, imported tickets and manual orders cost nothing at all.
- **Features: B.** Seat 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, 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.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Humanitix is free, so making your own would save you nothing. And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- You could not: Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Stripe, Mailchimp and Salesforce among them.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
