The report card
Best for community events with a fee only on paid tickets
Peatix has no monthly or sign-up fee and charges only on paid tickets, at 4.9% + 0.99 SGD in Singapore or 4.9% + 1.50 USD in India. The fee depends on the host country, and some regions carry extra charges.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | 4.9% plus a fixed amount per paid ticket, which covers card fees; it is not cheap on low-priced tickets. |
| Free plan and trial | B | No monthly or registration fee, and free events cost nothing, though paid tickets carry the fee. |
| Features | C | Event pages, ticket types, community groups, QR check-in and paid promotion. No seating or API is mentioned. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up each event page. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with no integrations listed. |
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 Peatix is for
- Fits if you run community events and want no monthly bill
- Works for organisers in Asia who want a QR check-in app
Who it is not for
- Pricey if your tickets are cheap, since the fixed part of the fee is charged on every paid ticket
- Not for you if you sell in China, where only free-ticket events are supported
- Watch out: the US rate sits on a separate page, and the fee varies by host country
- Watch out: cancelling an event can incur a cancellation fee, and Japan payouts carry a 210 JPY transfer fee
Good to know
Good for
- Free events and community meetups, which carry no fee
- Organizers in Asia Pacific, Europe or the US who want fees only on sales
- Groups that want a community page alongside ticketing
Worth knowing
- The fee is set by the host country and ticket currency; the US rate sits on a separate page that could not be read.
- Fees are charged on paid orders; a ticket made free by a discount code carries no fee.
- Cancelling an event can incur a cancellation fee, and Japan payouts carry a 210 JPY transfer fee.
- In China only free-ticket events are supported.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Peatix is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.
What you could make
- Forms and qR codes: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
What this rests on. Peatix’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
