The ones people open most here come first, then the closest matches.

## Shortlist

### 1. Race Entry

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

**Where it improves on Givebutter:**
- [Disputed charges: yes — Race Entry contests the dispute itself but passes any unreversed amount and associated bank fees back to the organizer, by deduction or invoice.](https://www.raceentry.com/terms-and-conditions)
- [Sell on your own website: yes — Registration forms and results pages can be embedded in the organizer's own site so entrants complete signup without leaving it.](https://www.raceentry.com/benefits-of-race-entry)
- [Recurring events: yes — A series or several managed events can be entered on one combined form with a single payment, rather than set up one at a time.](https://www.raceentry.com/race-director-faq)

**Trade-offs against Givebutter:**
- [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)
- [API: partial — A documented REST API exists for participants, teams and races, but access is restricted to authorized timing partners rather than open to any organizer.](https://www.raceentry.com/documentation/timerapi/index)

[View Race Entry](https://boxofficefees.com/raceentry)

### 2. GoFundMe Pro

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

**Where it improves on Givebutter:**
- [Nonprofit rates: yes — The platform sells only to US nonprofits, so every quoted price is a nonprofit price; there is no commercial rate published to compare it against and no discount percentage is stated.](https://pro.gofundme.com/)
- [Disputed charges: yes — The organization bears costs when a buyer disputes the charge with their bank: a $4 fee applies if the organization loses or accepts the dispute, $15 for PayPal, and it must reply within 5 days or the dispute is accepted automatically.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288800477851-Stop-a-chargeback)
- [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)

**Trade-offs against Givebutter:**
- [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/)
- [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)
- [Online events: partial — Virtual and hybrid events run through the Live Events add-on, which provides a virtual venue with streamed stages and RTMP input; the pricing page marks Live Events as chargeable on top of the plan.](https://pro.gofundme.com/c/solutions/event-registration/)

### 3. Eventbrite

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

**Where it improves on Givebutter:**
- [Disputed charges: yes — Eventbrite is the merchant of record and fights disputes for you; if the bank sides with the buyer you are charged the order's net sales, while Eventbrite drops its own fees and pays any bank fee.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/545999/how-does-eventbrite-handle-chargebacks/)
- [Reserved seating: yes — Reserved-seating venue maps support sections, tables, ticket tiers, and individual seat selection.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/683914/how-to-set-up-a-reserved-seating-event/)
- [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/)

**Trade-offs against Givebutter:**
- [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/)
- [Contract: partial — Eventbrite Premium can be canceled in account settings, but the subscription stays active through its billing cycle.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/193833/eventbrites-new-pricing-plans/)

[View Eventbrite](https://boxofficefees.com/eventbrite)

### 4. TicketSpice

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

**Where it improves on Givebutter:**
- [Disputed charges: yes — The disputed amount is pulled back from the organizer's Webconnex Payments account along with a $15 fee that is kept whatever the outcome, and Webconnex contests the dispute on the organizer's behalf at no extra cost, with verdicts typically taking 90 to 120 days.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/9359156)
- [Reserved seating: yes — Buyers pick seats on a chart the organizer builds, with pricing tiers per seat, holds, tables and pods, and a seat-view preview on mobile.](https://www.ticketspice.com/features/reserved-seating-event-ticketing-system)
- [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)

**Trade-offs against Givebutter:**
- [Free events: partial — Free events are free only if you also run paid events on the platform; organizers who only run free events pay 99 cents per free ticket.](https://www.ticketspice.com/pricing)
- [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)
- [API: partial — A documented REST API with self-serve keys is included for every account, but the vendor says it is largely read-only and it will not support custom builds.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/2471507)

[View TicketSpice](https://boxofficefees.com/ticketspice)

### 5. Ticket Tailor

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

**Where it improves on Givebutter:**
- [All-in price at checkout: yes — For events priced in USD the checkout shows the full amount including booking fees upfront, which the vendor attributes to the FTC junk-fees rule; the same is done for GBP events under UK price transparency law.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/11383453-how-fees-are-displayed-for-events-in-usd)
- [Nonprofit rates: yes — Registered charities get 50% off platform fees permanently, and CICs, B Corps, PTAs, non-profits and BBN members may get 20%; the discount covers prepaid credits and pay-as-you-go only, not white label, custom domains or processing fees.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/8687492-what-discounts-do-we-offer)
- [Reserved seating: yes — Buyers pick seats on charts you build for any venue, including tables, booths and accessibility options, with multiple ticket types per seat; each reservation costs one extra usage on top of the ticket fee.](https://www.tickettailor.com/build-seating-charts)

**Trade-offs against Givebutter:**
- [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)

### 6. RSVPify

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

**Where it improves on Givebutter:**
- [Nonprofit rates: yes — Nonprofits may qualify for special pricing, but the vendor does not publish a rate.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)
- [Sell on your own website: yes — RSVPify says RSVP and registration forms can be embedded on any website.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)
- [Website builders: yes — embed only: the vendor names WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and Canva as places the copy-and-paste form works, and documents no dedicated plugin or app; Shopify is not named.](https://rsvpify.com/embeddable-rsvp-form/)

**Trade-offs against Givebutter:**
- [API: partial — The documented programmatic routes are an MCP server for AI assistants, Zapier and webhooks through Zapier; the vendor's own list of integration options names no public API, and it says connecting needs no API key.](https://rsvpify.com/ai/)
- [Contract: partial — The DIY plan is monthly and self-service, while Enterprise is described as an annual contract.](https://rsvpify.com/enterprise/)

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

### 7. RunSignup

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

**Where it improves on Givebutter:**
- [All-in price at checkout: yes — A live event page prints one all-in figure per distance and names the fee inside it, so a buyer sees $86.80 including the $6.80 fee before clicking Sign Up; the fee is only this visible when the organizer passes it on rather than paying it out of the price.](https://runsignup.com/Race/Events/TN/Alcoa/ThePistolCreekRun)
- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: yes — Participants can request refunds from their own profile and transfer a registration to another person, another event or another race, with the organizer deciding which of these are allowed.](https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000064221-enable-refunds-for-your-race)
- [Check-in app: yes — The RaceDay Checkin app is free on iOS and Android and scans QR codes against live registration data; the setup article does not say whether it keeps working without a connection.](https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000141592-raceday-checkin-app-setup-1-)

**Trade-offs against Givebutter:**
- [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/)
- [Contract: partial — There is a click-through race contract agreed at setup and renewal, but it is explicitly non-exclusive, carries no minimum term and lets you stop between events without penalty.](https://info.runsignup.com/about-us/privacy-policy/race-contract/)

### 8. Humanitix

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

**Where it improves on Givebutter:**
- [Nonprofit rates: yes — Registered charities, nonprofits and schools pay 3.9% + $1.29 a paid ticket instead of 5% + $1.29, and must send evidence to apply.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/8896957-not-for-profit-nfp-charity-and-school-rate)
- [Reserved seating: yes — You can build seat maps for tables, auditoriums and stall layouts and let buyers choose their own seat.](https://humanitix.com/us/features)
- [Sell on your own website: yes — The whole checkout can be embedded on your own site, so buyers pay without leaving your pages.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/8889214-sell-tickets-on-your-website-with-an-embedded-checkout)

**Trade-offs against Givebutter:**
- [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)
- [Promoter links: partial — Promoters and channels get tokenized affiliate links whose sales show in your reports, but a sale finished through any other link cannot be credited.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/8896945-track-sales-performance-with-affiliate-tracking-links)

### 9. Zeffy

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

**Where it improves on Givebutter:**
- [All-in price at checkout: yes — The ticket price the buyer first sees is what the organizer receives; the only later additions are the optional Zeffy contribution and, where the organizer enables it, a sales tax line.](https://support.zeffy.com/what-is-zeffy-t8qzy)
- [Nonprofit rates: yes — The whole platform is nonprofit-only and free: eligibility is limited to nonprofits and registered charities in six countries, and there is no cheaper or dearer tier to choose between.](https://support.zeffy.com/is-my-organization-eligible-to-use-zeffy-8m24r)
- [Disputed charges: yes — Zeffy files the evidence for you, but if the bank rules for the buyer who disputed the charge, the organization loses the funds; no fee for this is named anywhere in the dispute article.](https://support.zeffy.com/disputes-and-chargebacks-y63dc)

**Trade-offs against Givebutter:**
- [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)
- [Registration forms and waivers: partial — Custom fields of several response types are standard, but there is no waiver feature: Zeffy tells you to paste the waiver text into a required checkbox question or attach it to the thank-you email.](https://support.zeffy.com/how-to-add-a-waiver-to-your-form-l0v94)
