Ticketstripe sells tickets and donations through your own Stripe or PayPal account, with no subscription and a fee of 2% + 99 cents per ticket. Buyers pay that fee by default, but Stripe or PayPal charge their own fees on top, and the vendor names no native phone app. - **Value for money: C.** 2% + 99 cents per ticket with no monthly fee, plus Stripe or PayPal processing on top. That sits in the middle of the category, and the reduced nonprofit rate could not be read. - **Free plan and trial: B.** No plan to pay for: free, comped and cash tickets carry no fee, so a free event costs nothing. There is no free plan as such. - **Features: B.** Ticket types, bundles, donations, shared tickets, box office, check-in and live reporting. No gap shows in the core job. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you must connect a Stripe or PayPal account before paid tickets work. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Klarna. Box office and check-in are described as mobile, but no app is named. These are ToolGPA's own grades.
