## Shortlist

### 1. Eventbrite

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

**Where it improves on GoFundMe Pro:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — For United States online paid tickets, Eventbrite publishes a percentage plus fixed service fee.](https://www.eventbrite.com/organizer/pricing/)
- [Free events: yes — Free tickets have no ticketing fees for either organizers or ticket buyers.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/755615/how-much-does-it-cost-for-organizers-to-use-eventbrite/)
- [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/)

**Trade-offs against GoFundMe Pro:**
- [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/)
- [Support on event day: partial — Email support is listed generally, while 24/7 chat is for paid events and phone access is for larger plans.](https://www.eventbrite.com/organizer/pricing/)

### 2. RSVPify

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

**Where it improves on GoFundMe Pro:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — RSVPify charges ticket sellers a 1.95 percent fee plus 90 cents per registrant.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)
- [Free events: yes — Free events run on the standing free plan and RSVPify says it only earns when a ticket sells, so a free registration carries no platform fee.](https://help.rsvpify.com/en/articles/1614854-selling-tickets-with-rsvpify-pricing-and-fees-explained)
- [Online events: yes — You can set the event as virtual or hybrid and sell registration for it, with the vendor's guide showing the meeting link delivered to registrants through its confirmation email.](https://help.rsvpify.com/en/articles/3961051-hosting-an-online-event-with-zoom-and-rsvpify)

**Trade-offs against GoFundMe Pro:**
- [Fees on refunds: no — If you refund a buyer, RSVPify keeps its service fee and the order's processing fee, so the organizer carries that cost unless it gives only a partial refund.](https://help.rsvpify.com/en/articles/2284187-how-do-i-issue-a-refund-for-my-guest-s-ticket-or-payment)
- [Listed where buyers browse: no — There is no RSVPify marketplace or consumer app listing your event, and the vendor positions itself against marketplace sites as a platform for organizers who bring their own audience, so no selling commission applies.](https://rsvpify.com/ticket-fee-calculator/)

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

### 3. Ticket Tailor

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

**Where it improves on GoFundMe Pro:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — One flat fee per paid ticket sold, not a percentage of the ticket price and with no cap needed; a seated ticket costs two usages (one for the reservation, one for the sale) and products, imported tickets and API-issued tickets each cost one.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/6731528-how-much-does-ticket-tailor-cost-and-how-will-i-be-charged)
- [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)
- [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 GoFundMe Pro:**
- [Fees on refunds: no — Refunding or canceling a ticket does not return the platform fee or the credit to the organizer, so the organizer absorbs it; transferring an order instead avoids a second charge.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/6731528-how-much-does-ticket-tailor-cost-and-how-will-i-be-charged)
- [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)
- [Disputed charges: partial — The organizer bears disputes entirely: because payments go direct to the organizer's processor, Ticket Tailor says it cannot influence the outcome and only supplies evidence such as check-in reports; no dispute fee of its own is stated.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/9630490-what-can-i-do-if-a-ticket-buyer-starts-a-payment-dispute-or-chargeback-after-attending-my-event)

### 4. Humanitix

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

**Where it improves on GoFundMe Pro:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — Humanitix charges a percentage plus a fixed amount on every paid ticket, and in US dollars that one rate also covers card handling.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/12292391-what-are-the-humanitix-booking-fees)
- [Free events: yes — Free tickets and free events carry no Humanitix fee at all, and imported or manually created orders are also free.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/12292391-what-are-the-humanitix-booking-fees)
- [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)

**Trade-offs against GoFundMe Pro:**
- [Fees on refunds: no — When a ticket is refunded the buyer gets the ticket price back but Humanitix keeps its booking fee, so whoever paid that fee loses it.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/13454109-my-refund-was-smaller-than-expected)
- [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)

### 5. RunSignup

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

**Where it improves on GoFundMe Pro:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — A percentage plus a fixed dollar, banded by cart total and charged once per cart rather than per ticket, so group orders dilute the fee; no cap is published.](https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000064141--why-are-my-registrants-being-charged-different-fees-)
- [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)
- [Free events: yes — A zero-dollar cart carries no processing fee at all, which the pricing chart states as a band and the prose repeats twice without qualification.](https://info.runsignup.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against GoFundMe Pro:**
- [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/)

### 6. Givebutter

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

**Where it improves on GoFundMe Pro:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — The organizer pays nothing while optional donor tips stay on; switch tips off and a flat 3% platform fee plus 2.9% + $0.30 card processing applies per transaction, with ACH at 1.9% + 30¢ for verified nonprofits.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/1512762-givebutter-standard-pricing-explained)
- [Free events: yes — Free tickets are a supported ticket setting and cost nothing to issue, since both the platform fee and the processing fee are charged per transaction value; unlimited free and paid ticket types are available on the free plan.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/3661362-how-to-create-and-edit-tickets)
- [Online events: yes — Digital and hybrid event types are first-class, with separate in-person and digital ticket types and a livestream you can host on Givebutter or embed from YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch or Facebook for ticketholders.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/3688279-how-to-configure-an-event-campaign)

**Trade-offs against GoFundMe Pro:**
- [Nonprofit rates: partial — There is no separate charity rate because the platform is free for every organization, but verification as a nonprofit is what unlocks the cheaper ACH rate of 1.9% + 30c and instant payouts.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/1512762-givebutter-standard-pricing-explained)
- [Disputed charges: partial — Givebutter argues a buyer disputing the charge with their bank for you and needs no action from the organizer, but a lost dispute leaves the money with the buyer and your balance negative until you cover it; no separate dispute fee is documented.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/1761146-how-to-withdraw-funds)
- [Ad tracking: partial — A Meta Pixel ID can be pasted into account settings and fires purchase and checkout events with ticket value, and Google Analytics connects too, but the pixel only measures Facebook Ads traffic and is not yet supported on embedded Form campaigns.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/3831687-how-to-integrate-meta-pixel-with-givebutter)

### 7. Auctria

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

**Where it improves on GoFundMe Pro:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — There is no percentage of revenue and no per-ticket surcharge: the cost is a fixed annual license plus a plan-based percentage (1%, 0.5% or 0.25%) on card transactions processed through Auctria's integration.](https://www.auctria.com/pricing/)
- [All-in price at checkout: yes — By default the buyer pays exactly the amount owed with no fee added, so the first price is the full price; if you switch to Added mode the fee is built into the total the buyer sees before paying, and in Optional mode it is a checkbox.](https://academy.auctria.com/credit_cards/processing_fees/)
- [Free events: yes — Auctria charges nothing per ticket, so a free event costs you only your annual license; its own fee is a percentage taken when a card is charged, which means free tickets carry no Auctria fee at all.](https://www.auctria.com/features/tickets/)

**Trade-offs against GoFundMe Pro:**
- [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/)
- [Works with: partial — Zapier is supported one way only, as four webhook triggers for participants, items, transactions and sales orders, and CRM transfer is by CSV export; no Mailchimp or accounting connector is documented.](https://academy.auctria.com/zapier_integration/)
- [Support on event day: partial — Chat and email support is included on every plan and is prioritized for paid licenses, with the terms promising reasonable efforts to answer within one business day; no phone line and no published support hours.](https://www.auctria.com/terms-of-service/)

### 8. Zeffy

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

**Where it improves on GoFundMe Pro:**
- [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)
- [Free events: yes — Free events cost nothing: you create a $0 ticket rate, free tickets can sit beside paid rates on the same form, and no bank account is needed if you take no payments.](https://support.zeffy.com/host-a-free-event-and-create-free-tickets-to-an-event-hbgud)
- [Online events: yes — Online and hybrid events are supported alongside in-person ones, with attendee information collected and e-tickets emailed; the joining details are carried in the e-ticket and confirmation email you customize.](https://support.zeffy.com/what-is-zeffy-t8qzy)

**Trade-offs against GoFundMe Pro:**
- [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)

### 9. GiveSmart

Nonprofit fundraising platform with event ticketing, seating, auctions and check-in.

**Where it improves on GoFundMe Pro:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — The fee on a paid ticket is a percentage of the transaction, 3.5% or 3.95% by card brand, and organizers can add an optional fixed fee per attendee that defaults to $0.00; no cap is published anywhere on these pages.](https://help.givesmart.com/help/pass-fees-to-purchaser)
- [Online events: yes — Virtual and hybrid fundraisers are supported with a one-screen live stream presentation page where guests watch, chat, bid and donate, and streams can be embedded on the campaign home page.](https://www.givesmart.com/solutions/campaign-event-management/)
- [Sell on your own website: yes — An order form or custom page can be embedded on the organization's own website through an iframe code, provided the hosting domain is first added to GiveSmart's include list.](https://help.givesmart.com/help/embed-an-order-form-on-your-website)

**Trade-offs against GoFundMe Pro:**
- [All-in price at checkout: no — The ticket price is shown first and the fee appears afterwards as a line added in the Order Summary, pre-checked but removable when fees are optional, so the first price a buyer sees is not the all-in total.](https://help.givesmart.com/help/pass-fees-to-purchaser)
- [Disputed charges: partial — When a buyer disputes a charge with their bank, the amount is withdrawn from the organization's own bank account, so the organizer bears it, and GiveSmart says it is not even notified; no dispute fee amount is published.](https://help.givesmart.com/help/360027272791-batch-report)
- [Reserved seating: no — Seating is assigned by the organizer from a Seating Management page as tickets sell, not picked by the buyer; buyers can only state a preference through a custom ticket question that staff may honor.](https://help.givesmart.com/help/115002436368-seating-management)
