## Shortlist

### 1. Ticket Tailor

Flat per-ticket fee ticketing paid into your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account.

**Where it improves on AudienceView:**
- [Card processing: yes — You connect your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account and that processor's fee is charged on top of Ticket Tailor's per-ticket fee, which the vendor states it never touches; it prints 2.9% + $0.30 as an example US Stripe rate but labels those figures illustrative rather than its own.](https://www.tickettailor.com/en-us/pricing)
- [Sell on your own website: yes — An embeddable widget lets buyers complete the purchase on the organizer's own site in list or calendar layouts, with colors, a pop-out cart and a referral tag, instead of sending them to the hosted box office.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/950997-how-to-embed-a-box-office-widget-on-your-website)
- [Website builders: yes — native plugin or app: WordPress gets a dedicated plugin and shortcode, while Squarespace, Wix and Weebly are served by the generic HTML embed code; nothing on the pages I read covers Shopify.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/951075-how-to-sell-tickets-on-wordpress)

**Trade-offs against AudienceView:**
- [Plans and subscriptions: no — There is no monthly or annual plan to change the fees; billing is purely per usage, either pay-as-you-go or prepaid credits bought in advance at a lower per-ticket rate.](https://www.tickettailor.com/en-us/pricing)
- [Email to buyers: partial — Broadcast emails reach an event's own guest list from inside the platform, but to market a next event to past buyers the vendor points you at exporting the addresses or syncing them to Mailchimp rather than a built-in audience tool.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/950043-can-i-email-all-of-my-attendees-at-once)
- [Contract: no — No contract, no subscription and no exclusivity: fees only arise when you sell, and the vendor explicitly says you may run other ticketing companies alongside it, so you can stop between events.](https://www.tickettailor.com/en-us/pricing)

### 2. TicketSpice

Flat 99¢-per-ticket ticketing for events and attractions, with in-house payments and a box office app.

**Where it improves on AudienceView:**
- [Card processing: yes — Card processing is separate from and on top of the per-ticket fee, run by in-house Webconnex Payments at 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction.](https://www.ticketspice.com/pricing)
- [Sell on your own website: yes — The ticketing page can be embedded in your own site as an iframe, a pop-over window or a tickets widget so buyers never leave it.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/2671193)
- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: yes — If the organizer switches it on, buyers manage themselves in an Account Center: resend, edit, transfer to someone else and take partial refunds.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/8814783)

**Trade-offs against AudienceView:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — It depends on how the organizer configures the page: the vendor warns that its separate line item fee often breaks the FTC all-in rule and recommends absorbing fees or using the pass-on setting instead.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/9299044)
- [Plans and subscriptions: no — There is no subscription at all for ticketing: the vendor states there are no monthly fees, and the only recurring charges are optional marketing add-ons such as text messaging.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/8757593)
- [Waitlist: no — The vendor states plainly that no waitlist exists today and points organizers to its sister product RegFox if they need one.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/8706176)

### 3. Eventbrite

Ticketing platform with a buyer-discovery marketplace and optional fee transfer.

**Where it improves on AudienceView:**
- [Card processing: yes — Eventbrite Payment Processing is the default online processor; United States processing is 2.9% per order.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/755615/how-much-does-it-cost-for-organizers-to-use-eventbrite/)
- [Sell on your own website: yes — Embedded Checkout sells tickets on an organizer website while attendees complete purchase without leaving it.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/347218/how-to-sell-eventbrite-tickets-on-your-website-through-an-embedded-checkout/)
- [Website builders: yes — embed only: the documented website path is Embedded Checkout requiring website HTML and HTTPS.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/347218/how-to-sell-eventbrite-tickets-on-your-website-through-an-embedded-checkout/)

**Trade-offs against AudienceView:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — Fees can be included in a chosen ticket price or added above it, so display depends on organizer settings.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/755615/how-much-does-it-cost-for-organizers-to-use-eventbrite/)
- [When you get the money: partial — Standard payouts arrive three business days after an event; scheduled and instant alternatives have eligibility limits.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/111819/understanding-your-event-payout-amount/)
- [Waitlist: partial — Waitlists can trigger after sellout or capacity, but are unavailable for reserved-seating events.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/811539/how-to-set-up-an-event-waitlist/)

### 4. Ticketmaster

Enterprise ticketing for venues, teams and promoters, sold through its own marketplace.

**Where it improves on AudienceView:**
- [Sell on your own website: yes — Embedded checkout lets organizers take the purchase on their own site so fans stay in their brand, and it supports quick pay methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.](https://business.ticketmaster.com/self-serve-event-ticketing-solutions-for-live-events/)
- [Apple Wallet: yes — Fans add tickets to Apple Wallet from My Tickets in their account, and can then tap or scan the SafeTix pass straight from the wallet at the gate.](https://business.ticketmaster.com/solutions/event-day/)
- [Google Wallet: yes — Google Wallet passes are supported and clients can customize how their brand appears on the pass on Android devices, with the same tap-or-scan entry from the wallet.](https://business.ticketmaster.com/solutions/event-day/)

**Trade-offs against AudienceView:**
- [Check-in app: partial — Entry runs on SafeTix encrypted rotating barcodes with real-time ingress monitoring, but scanning uses Ticketmaster hardware and partner access-control providers rather than a published free scanner app, and offline operation is not described.](https://business.ticketmaster.com/solutions/event-day/)

### 5. Etix

Venue-focused primary ticketing with box office, scanning, patron data and marketing, sold by quote.

**Where it improves on AudienceView:**
- [Apple Wallet: yes — Each mobile ticket shows an Add to Apple Wallet icon that iPhone buyers tap per ticket, and the Etix Wallet app also pushes tickets into the native wallet.](https://support.etix.com/existing-orders/using-apple-wallet-to-store-tickets)
- [Google Wallet: yes — The Etix Wallet app lets buyers move tickets into the device's native wallet, naming Google Wallet, so tickets open without WiFi or cell service.](https://support.etix.com/general-info/what-is-etix-wallet-and-how-do-i-use-it)
- [API: yes — Etix calls its API open and uses it to push event lists and sales data to your site, Google and third parties; no public developer documentation is linked from its site.](https://hello.etix.com/clients/integrations-partnerships)

**Trade-offs against AudienceView:**
- [When you get the money: partial — For the TutuTix dance line Etix publishes weekly direct deposit of the prior week's sales; for the core Etix platform no payout schedule or payout fee is published.](https://hello.etix.com/clients/dance-studios)

[View Etix](https://boxofficefees.com/etix)

### 6. Tessitura

Licensed CRM and ticketing platform for arts and cultural organizations, with no transaction fees.

**Where it improves on AudienceView:**
- [API: yes — A full REST API covering every area of the system is included in the license at no extra charge, with a registered developer program and docs.](https://www.tessitura.com/features/online-and-mobile-solutions)
- [Free to start: partial — No platform fee is taken on any ticket, but selling at all requires a Tessitura license obtained by contacting the company, so the software itself is not free.](https://www.tessitura.com/about/contact)

**Trade-offs against AudienceView:**
- [Check-in app: partial — Tessitura Access Control scans print, mobile and membership barcodes and works offline, but it is a separately priced product whose pricing sits behind a licensee login.](https://www.tessitura.com/features/access-control)
- [Email to buyers: partial — Lists and automation triggers are built in Tessitura, but the campaigns themselves are designed and sent through integrated third-party email partners.](https://www.tessitura.com/features/marketing)

[View Tessitura](https://boxofficefees.com/tessitura)

### 7. Tickera

Sell tickets from WordPress on unlimited sites, with 25 add-ons and a pay-once license option.

**Where it improves on AudienceView:**
- [Card processing: yes — Your own payment account processes every charge, and Tickera names roughly 2.9% plus $0.30 with Stripe as the usual rate it adds nothing to.](https://tickera.com/pricing/)
- [Sell on your own website: yes — Checkout runs on your own domain as WordPress pages built from Tickera shortcodes, so buyers never leave your site to pay.](https://tickera.com/)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — You buy a license at checkout with a card or PayPal and install the plugin yourself; sales contact is only for procurement or a custom license.](https://tickera.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against AudienceView:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — With no platform fee the listed price is what the buyer pays, but any tax line or fee you add yourself is shown in the cart rather than in the ticket price.](https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/settings/general/)
- [Reserved seating: partial — Buyers pick seats on a drag-and-drop venue chart, but only through the Seating Charts add-on, which the entry Standard license leaves out.](https://tickera.com/pricing/)
- [Registration forms and waivers: partial — Your own fields, including waivers, come from the Custom Forms add-on rather than the core plugin, so the entry Standard license does not include it.](https://tickera.com/)

### 8. TicketLeap

Per-ticket event ticketing with no plans or contracts, $1 + 2% plus a 3% transaction fee.

**Where it improves on AudienceView:**
- [Card processing: yes — TicketLeap processes cards itself through Stripe rather than a third-party merchant account, and the card cost shows up as its own 3% transaction fee charged per order on top of the per-ticket ticketing fee.](https://www.ticketleap.com/info/pricing/)
- [Ad tracking: yes — Meta Pixel, Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads and Bing conversion tracking each have their own setup article, so paid campaigns can be measured against ticket sales.](https://www.ticketleap.com/info/features/)
- [Free to start: yes — There is no subscription, contract or service tier: the whole platform is free to the organizer when the per-ticket fee is added to the buyer's price, and free events carry no fees at all.](https://www.ticketleap.com/info/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against AudienceView:**
- [All-in price at checkout: no — By default the ticketing fee and the 3% transaction fee are added to the ticket price the buyer first sees, so the opening price is not all-in; the organizer can instead choose Paid by Me per event, which folds the fee into the ticket price.](https://support.ticketleap.com/en_US/fees-payments/how-do-i-change-who-pays-the-fees)
- [Plans and subscriptions: no — There are no plans or tiers to buy: the vendor says every organizer gets the whole toolset for free with no subscriptions or upcharges, and the only money it takes is the per-ticket fee.](https://www.ticketleap.com/info/pricing/)
- [When you get the money: no — Money is held until after the event: payouts reach the organizer's bank by direct deposit 4-6 business days after the event ends, 5-7 for Canadian sellers, and multi-day events pay out per event date; no payout fee is stated.](https://support.ticketleap.com/en_US/fees-payments/when-do-i-get-paid)

### 9. FooEvents

WooCommerce ticketing plugin: one annual license per domain, no per-ticket commission, sales run on your own site.

**Where it improves on AudienceView:**
- [Sell on your own website: yes — The whole sale happens on the organizer's own site: events are WooCommerce products with their own pages and the store's normal checkout.](https://www.fooevents.com/features/integrations/)
- [Sign up without a sales call: yes — Bundles and single plugins are bought straight from the site with an add-to-cart button, with no sales call in the way.](https://www.fooevents.com/pricing/)
- [Contract: yes — Licenses are billed annually per domain and can be canceled at any time, with a 14-day money-back guarantee and no exclusivity mentioned.](https://www.fooevents.com/products/fooevents-for-woocommerce/)

**Trade-offs against AudienceView:**
- [Who pays the fees: no — There is no platform fee for either side to carry, so nothing is added to the buyer's price by FooEvents; the organizer pays only the license.](https://www.fooevents.com/products/fooevents-for-woocommerce/)
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — FooEvents adds no fee at checkout, so the listed ticket price is what buyers pay, but whether tax appears in the displayed price is a WooCommerce setting the organizer chooses.](https://www.fooevents.com/features/woocommerce/)
- [Reserved seating: partial — Buyers can pick seats on an interactive chart, but only with the separately licensed FooEvents Seating extension on top of the core plugin.](https://www.fooevents.com/products/fooevents-seating/)
