## Shortlist

### 1. Race Entry

Free race management software paid for by one per-registration fee that already covers card processing.

**Where it improves on Donorbox:**
- [Who pays the fees: yes — Participants pay the service fee by default, and the vendor says most organizers pass it on, implying an organizer may instead pay it out of the registration price.](https://www.raceentry.com/race-entry-pricing)
- [Door sales: yes — Race-day signups run on the same two-page form, and the vendor charges no service fee on cash or check sales taken offline.](https://www.raceentry.com/race-entry-pricing)
- [Free to start: yes — The organizer pays the platform nothing: setup and the software are free and the per-transaction fee is charged to participants.](https://www.raceentry.com/race-entry-pricing)

**Trade-offs against Donorbox:**
- [Plans and subscriptions: no — There is no monthly or yearly software plan at all: the vendor states it charges organizers nothing and earns from the per-transaction service fee.](https://www.raceentry.com/race-entry-pricing)
- [When you get the money: partial — Money is held and paid after the event under the terms, within fifteen business days of the event end date and only once $100 has been processed, while the benefits page describes bi-monthly payments instead.](https://www.raceentry.com/terms-and-conditions)

### 2. GoFundMe Pro

Nonprofit fundraising platform with event ticketing, registration and Live Events, sold by quote.

**Where it improves on Donorbox:**
- [Who pays the fees: yes — The organization chooses whether it absorbs the transaction fee or passes it to the ticket buyer, but the choice applies to every ticket in an event, not per ticket type.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288719836955-Manage-tickets)
- [Ad tracking: yes — Campaign pages support Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, the Facebook Pixel and the Meta Conversions API, with a data layer exposing transaction and donation values for conversion tracking.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288721203995-Tracking-tools)
- [Works with: yes — An Apps & Integrations hub connects Salesforce, Mailchimp, Zapier, Google Analytics and Meta, and webhooks are documented, so donor and attendee data can reach a CRM or marketing tool.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288767770395-GoFundMe-Pay)

**Trade-offs against Donorbox:**
- [The fee per ticket: partial — Card processing on GoFundMe Pay is published as a percentage plus a fixed amount per transaction, but the platform's own service fee per ticket is set in each organization's contract and never printed.](https://pro.gofundme.com/c/pricing/)
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — When the organization passes fees to buyers the fee is folded into the displayed ticket cost and a Fee Estimate block previews it, but no page addresses whether every mandatory fee is shown in the first price.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288772287131-Create-a-ticketed-event)
- [Free events: partial — Free and hidden $0 tickets can be issued with no charge to the attendee, but GoFundMe Pro itself is only sold with an annual upfront subscription, so running a free event is never free of platform cost.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288772287131-Create-a-ticketed-event)

### 3. RSVPify

Registration, ticketing, guest management, seating, and QR-code check-in in one platform.

**Where it improves on Donorbox:**
- [Who pays the fees: yes — Organizers can choose to add RSVPify fees, card-processing fees, or both to buyer charges.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)
- [Ad tracking: yes — Both a Meta pixel and Google Analytics are built-in on ticketed events, with custom scripts allowed too, so you can measure registrations driven by paid campaigns.](https://rsvpify.com/pricing/selling-tickets/)
- [Works with: yes — RSVPify names native CRM sync and more than thirty integrations, including Stripe and Zapier.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)

**Trade-offs against Donorbox:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — When you pay the fees yourself the advertised ticket price is what buyers pay, but with the setting turned on the service and card fees are added to the buyer's price during checkout rather than shown in the ticket price.](https://help.rsvpify.com/en/articles/3948351-how-can-i-pass-fees-or-taxes-on-to-my-guests)
- [Sales tax on tickets: partial — adds a tax line: you switch on a sales tax charge, set it as a fixed or percentage amount and label it on the receipt, and nothing says RSVPify files or remits that tax for you.](https://help.rsvpify.com/en/articles/3948351-how-can-i-pass-fees-or-taxes-on-to-my-guests)

[View RSVPify](https://boxofficefees.com/rsvpify)

### 4. Ticket Tailor

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

**Where it improves on Donorbox:**
- [Who pays the fees: yes — The organizer chooses: pay the fee yourself out of the ticket price, or add a booking fee per ticket and/or a transaction fee per order so buyers cover it and you keep the full ticket price.](https://www.tickettailor.com/en-us/pricing)
- [Door sales: yes — Door sales run through the same free check-in app using Stripe Tap to Pay on an NFC phone, or a Stripe Terminal reader, or cash recorded as an operator payment; all of them incur the normal per-ticket usage fee.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/10058234-how-to-sell-tickets-in-person-using-the-check-in-app)
- [Works with: yes — Direct integrations cover Mailchimp, HubSpot, ActiveCampaign and Constant Contact, with Zapier reaching accounting and database tools such as Xero and Airtable; HubSpot, ActiveCampaign and Constant Contact carry their own monthly charge.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/951067-how-to-connect-ticket-tailor-to-your-other-apps-using-zapier)

**Trade-offs against Donorbox:**
- [Free events: partial — Free tickets are genuinely free up to a stated 5,000 per year, after which the vendor asks you to contact support for a quote; free tickets issued through a seating chart still cost one usage each.](https://www.tickettailor.com/en-us/pricing)
- [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)

### 5. Eventbrite

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

**Where it improves on Donorbox:**
- [Who pays the fees: yes — Buyers pay ticketing fees by default, while organizers can include them in ticket revenue.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/755615/how-much-does-it-cost-for-organizers-to-use-eventbrite/)
- [Door sales: yes — The Organizer app sells tickets at the door; United States fees are $1 per ticket plus 2.9% card processing.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/755615/how-much-does-it-cost-for-organizers-to-use-eventbrite/)
- [Ad tracking: yes — Organizers can add Meta or Google pixels to events using a self-service tool.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/598933/getting-started-with-tracking-pixels/)

**Trade-offs against Donorbox:**
- [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/)
- [Nonprofit rates: partial — Verified nonprofits get 50% off a Pro subscription, but the per-ticket fees are the same as for everyone else; only donation tickets carry reduced rates in some countries.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/585157/can-my-nonprofit-or-charity-get-lower-fees-for-our-events/)
- [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/)

### 6. Humanitix

Nonprofit ticketing: 5% + $1.29 a paid ticket, card processing included, profits to charity.

**Where it improves on Donorbox:**
- [Who pays the fees: yes — Buyers are charged the fee on top of the ticket by default, and you can instead pay it yourself out of the ticket price, split it, or let buyers choose.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/12292391-what-are-the-humanitix-booking-fees)
- [Door sales: yes — The host app takes card payments by tap to pay, typed card or a Stripe terminal at 3% + $1 a paid ticket, while cash sales carry no fee.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/9760527-how-much-does-humanitix-cost)
- [Ad tracking: yes — You can connect a Meta pixel and Google Tag Manager to your event pages, plus Google Analytics for views and sales.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/8906145-connect-your-meta-pixel)

**Trade-offs against Donorbox:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — Prices buyers see are inclusive of fees, but they are printed as the ticket price followed by the fee, and events where the host pays the fee show no fee at all.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/9653327-changes-to-how-ticket-prices-and-booking-fees-are-displayed)
- [Plans and subscriptions: no — There is no monthly or yearly plan to buy and no tiers: every host gets every feature and pays only the per-ticket fee.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/9760527-how-much-does-humanitix-cost)
- [When you get the money: partial — Money is held until the event ends and reaches your bank within five business days with no transfer fee; connecting Stripe instead pays you as tickets sell.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/8889219-when-will-my-event-be-paid-out)

### 7. RunSignup

Free endurance-event registration platform billed only through per-transaction processing fees.

**Where it improves on Donorbox:**
- [Who pays the fees: yes — The organizer chooses between three settings per fee type, so the registrant can carry the fee, the event can pay the fee itself out of the ticket price, or the two can split it evenly.](https://info.runsignup.com/pricing/)
- [Door sales: yes — On Site Registration runs a simplified signup on your own devices at the expo or start line, taking cards at the normal processing fee and cash behind a staff password.](https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000063282-race-day-registration)
- [Ad tracking: yes — Facebook Pixel and the Conversions API are supported alongside a GA4 connection and built-in RaceInsights source tracking for every click, registration and donation.](https://info.runsignup.com/products/race-marketing/)

**Trade-offs against Donorbox:**
- [Nonprofit rates: partial — The lower rate applies to donations into nonprofit payment accounts, a flat 4% including merchant fees, while registration processing fees follow the same bands for every organizer.](https://info.runsignup.com/pricing/)
- [Plans and subscriptions: no — There are no tiers to buy and nothing to upgrade: the vendor states it earns only from processing fees and sells no subscription, plan or monthly package.](https://info.runsignup.com/pricing/)
- [When you get the money: partial — Money reaches the organizer's own account as registrations sell, by weekly direct deposit by default or daily on approval, but RunSignup can hold back a refund reserve that is only released after the event and a check payout costs $10 and needs $1,000 owed.](https://info.runsignup.com/about-us/privacy-policy/race-contract/)

### 8. Zeffy

Free fundraising platform for nonprofits with event ticketing, auctions and a built-in donor CRM.

**Where it improves on Donorbox:**
- [Door sales: yes — The Tap to Pay app turns a phone into a card reader with no terminal and no fee, and cash can be logged in the same app, though auctions, memberships and recurring gifts are excluded.](https://support.zeffy.com/app-setting-up-zeffy-tap-to-pay-ac2zt)
- [Works with: yes — QuickBooks Online syncs directly, Zapier and viaSocket cover no-code automations to tools like Mailchimp, Salesforce and Google Sheets, and webhooks plus the API handle anything custom.](https://support.zeffy.com/integrating-zeffy-with-other-softwares-74zts)
- [Free to start: yes — You can sell tickets without paying Zeffy anything at all: every feature is free, Zeffy absorbs the card fees, and payouts to your bank cost nothing.](https://support.zeffy.com/what-is-zeffy-t8qzy)

**Trade-offs against Donorbox:**
- [The fee per ticket: no — There is no percentage, fixed per-ticket amount or cap to report, because Zeffy deducts nothing from a paid ticket; its revenue comes only from the optional contribution a buyer may add at checkout.](https://support.zeffy.com/zeffy-really-is-free-no-fees-no-catch-4zjir)
- [Plans and subscriptions: no — There is no monthly or yearly plan to buy and nothing is gated behind one, so a plan cannot change your fees; the single exception is Donor Mail at $1 per printed letter.](https://support.zeffy.com/what-is-zeffy-t8qzy)
- [Sales tax on tickets: partial — adds a tax line you set: you enter the rate and tax ID per ticket, Zeffy calculates and collects it at checkout and reports it, but only for US and Canadian organizations.](https://support.zeffy.com/add-taxes-to-ticket-price-store-items-or-auction-items-epdqq)

### 9. Auctria

Fundraising event and auction platform with admission tickets, bidding and an event website, sold as an annual license.

**Where it improves on Donorbox:**
- [Who pays the fees: yes — The organizer chooses between three fee-handling modes: pay the card fees yourself out of the ticket price, show buyers an optional checkbox to cover them, or add the surcharge to every card payment automatically.](https://www.auctria.com/pricing/)
- [Door sales: yes — Tickets can be sold at the door from the dashboard or the admin app, which acts as a tap-to-pay terminal, and cash or check payments can be recorded manually; no extra Auctria fee applies beyond the plan card percentage.](https://www.auctria.com/features/payments/)
- [Contract: yes — A license runs 12 months with no auto-renewal and no multi-year commitment; if it lapses the account drops to Explorer limits without losing data, and nothing requires exclusivity between events.](https://www.auctria.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against Donorbox:**
- [Nonprofit rates: partial — Auctria's own license price is the same for everyone and nonprofit status is not required to use it; the only nonprofit discount it points to is Stripe's separate 501(c)(3) processing program.](https://www.auctria.com/pricing/)
- [Sales tax on tickets: partial — adds a tax line you configure: Auctria calculates up to three sales taxes per category, inclusive or exclusive of the bid, and reports what was collected, but it does not remit anything and the feature needs a paid license.](https://academy.auctria.com/items/sales_tax/)
- [Email to buyers: partial — Custom emails to participants are a paid-plan feature, but the vendor explicitly asks organizers to keep Auctria email transactional and to promote upcoming events through a third-party bulk email service instead.](https://academy.auctria.com/communication/transactional_versus_marketing_emails/)
