## Shortlist

### 1. GoFundMe Pro

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

**Where it improves on OneCause:**
- [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)
- [Fees on refunds: partial — Whether fees come back depends on the payment solution: GoFundMe Pay and PayPal return all transaction fees on a refund, while Braintree and Authorize.net keep them, and partial refunds are not possible at all.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288784115355-Send-a-refund-or-receipt)
- [Promoter links: yes — Attendees and teams get their own peer-to-peer fundraising pages tied to the event, with fundraising commitments and milestone emails, so supporters sell and raise under their own links and are reported on.](https://pro.gofundme.com/c/solutions/event-registration/)

**Trade-offs against OneCause:**
- [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/)
- [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/)
- [Check-in app: partial — QR codes are scanned through a browser camera on any phone, tablet or laptop, and a dedicated Live Events mobile app exists but is restricted to an invitation beta; offline scanning is not addressed anywhere.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288788899099-Check-in-attendees)

### 2. Race Entry

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

**Where it improves on OneCause:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Promoter links: yes — A referral system gives entrants their own share links with rebates per signup, and the organizer sees reports of registrations each referral brought in.](https://www.raceentry.com/online-race-registration-software-with-social-integration)

**Trade-offs against OneCause:**
- [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)
- [Contract: no — No long-term commitment or exclusivity is required, so an organizer can stop using it between events without a contract.](https://www.raceentry.com/race-director-faq)

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

### 3. RSVPify

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

**Where it improves on OneCause:**
- [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)
- [Recurring events: yes — A series is built once: recurring time slots let one event hold many dates and times, each with its own tiers, instead of rebuilding the event for every occurrence.](https://help.rsvpify.com/en/articles/5455411-recurring-time-slots-appointment-scheduling)
- [Free to start: yes — RSVPify says ticketed events can be created without charge and receive premium features.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)

- None found.

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

**Where it improves on OneCause:**
- [Who pays the fees: yes — The organizer chooses: pay the fees themselves out of the ticket price, or pass them to buyers, and any extra convenience fee the organizer adds is kept in full.](https://www.ticketspice.com/pricing)
- [Fees on refunds: partial — Fees come back only on a full refund processed through Webconnex Payments; on partial refunds, custom processors and offline orders the organizer eats them.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/5539462)
- [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)

**Trade-offs against OneCause:**
- [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)
- [Support on event day: partial — Chat, email, phone and Zoom are offered free on every account, but staffed hours are 8am to 5pm Pacific on weekdays with only limited weekend cover.](https://www.ticketspice.com/support)

### 5. Eventbrite

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

**Where it improves on OneCause:**
- [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/)
- [Fees on refunds: partial — Ticketing fees stay with Eventbrite by default, but organizers can pay them from their payout.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/158301/how-to-refund-an-order/)

### 6. Ticket Tailor

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

**Where it improves on OneCause:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Recurring events: yes — A recurring event creates occurrences that share one set of core details and ticket types, so weekly classes, monthly workshops or all-day attraction slots are configured once rather than per date.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/4476655-how-can-i-set-up-a-recurring-event-with-repeating-dates-or-time-slots)

**Trade-offs against OneCause:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Support on event day: partial — The vendor advertises round-the-clock human support on every plan including free events, but the pages I read name no phone number or stated hours and route you to the help center and a contact-support link.](https://www.tickettailor.com/free-events)

### 7. RunSignup

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

**Where it improves on OneCause:**

- [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)

- [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/)

**Trade-offs against OneCause:**
- [Check-in app: partial — The iOS and Android app is free and scans ticket QR codes or looks guests up by name, email, phone or ticket number, and limited-access volunteers can scan too; the vendor does not document whether scanning works without a connection.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/2852270-how-to-scan-tickets-and-check-guests-in)
