## Shortlist

### 1. Race Entry

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

**Where it improves on Partiful:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — A percentage plus a fixed amount on every paid registration, with no cap or minimum published anywhere on the pricing page.](https://www.raceentry.com/race-entry-pricing)
- [Donations and tips: yes — Donations can be taken on a charity page or inside the registration form, including a round-up prompt, at a lower fixed fee than a registration.](https://www.raceentry.com/race-entry-pricing)
- [Sales tax on tickets: yes — collects and remits sales tax in marketplace facilitator states, and elsewhere lets the organizer set a local tax rate that Race Entry collects and passes back.](https://www.raceentry.com/terms-and-conditions)

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

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

### 2. Eventbrite

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

**Where it improves on Partiful:**
- [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/)
- [Plans and subscriptions: yes — Eventbrite Premium is an optional monthly or annual subscription that adds marketing and support capabilities.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/193833/eventbrites-new-pricing-plans/)
- [Donations and tips: yes — Donation tickets let buyers set the amount; United States donations have no service fee and 2.9% processing.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/460357/how-to-fundraise-and-collect-donations-with-eventbrite/)

**Trade-offs against Partiful:**
- [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/)

### 3. RunSignup

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

**Where it improves on Partiful:**
- [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)
- [Donations and tips: yes — Donations work standalone, inside the registration path and as a checkout add-on with up to three suggested amounts, at a flat 4% fee; nothing on these pages asks buyers to tip RunSignup itself.](https://info.runsignup.com/pricing/)

**Trade-offs against Partiful:**
- [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/)
- [Disputed charges: partial — RunSignup receives the notice and fights the dispute for you at no stated charge, but the contract leaves the organizer liable for the refunded proceeds and the card brands' fees when a buyer disputes the charge with their bank, an amount that is not published.](https://info.runsignup.com/about-us/privacy-policy/race-contract/)

### 4. Posh

Social event platform with organizer dashboard, all-in ticket pricing and a consumer discovery app.

**Where it improves on Partiful:**
- [All-in price at checkout: yes — Every price shown on the Explore feed, event pages and ticket buttons is the full amount the buyer pays including mandatory fees, which Posh ties to the FTC rule on unfair or deceptive fees.](https://support.posh.vip/en/articles/15089963-creating-customizing-and-managing-your-posh-events-the-complete-guide)
- [When you get the money: yes — Money is not held until after the event: sales clear to an available balance in 24 to 48 business hours, standard ACH payouts are free and take 3 to 5 business days, and an instant payout costs a flat 5%.](https://support.posh.vip/en/articles/15090213-managing-your-balance-payouts-bank-accounts)
- [Your buyers’ details: yes — Organizers export buyer names, emails and phone numbers per event as CSV, sync them into a Mailchimp audience, and message them by SMS blast, though exports are per event with no org-wide download and no imports.](https://support.posh.vip/en/articles/15267292-export-event-report-downloading-your-attendee-info)

**Trade-offs against Partiful:**
- [Card processing: partial — Stripe processes the payments and card processing is bundled into the single Posh service fee rather than charged separately, but the vendor's pages never state the processing rate itself.](https://support.posh.vip/en/articles/15075671-ticket-management-creating-ticket-tiers-groups-and-advanced-toggles)

### 5. Humanitix

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

**Where it improves on Partiful:**
- [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)
- [Donations and tips: yes — Buyers can add a donation at checkout or give on a standalone donation page, and each donation carries the lower nonprofit rate; buyers can also be offered the chance to cover the booking fee.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/8914022-why-are-there-booking-fees-for-donations)
- [Sales tax on tickets: yes — collects and remits state sales tax where Humanitix counts as a marketplace facilitator, and elsewhere you switch on a tax line and remit it yourself.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/9944108-does-humanitix-remit-tax-for-my-event)

**Trade-offs against Partiful:**
- [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)
- [Disputed charges: partial — Humanitix disputes a buyer's charge dispute with their bank for you at no charge, but the loss lands on you: funds are held back before you are paid, or invoiced back afterwards.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/15185200-understanding-chargebacks-as-an-event-host)

- [Plans and subscriptions: yes — RSVPify publishes paid Starter, Plus, Professional, and custom Enterprise plans alongside ticket fees.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)
- [Donations and tips: yes — Ticketing can collect donations at checkout, and donations are also a core product.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)

**Trade-offs against Partiful:**
- [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/)

### 7. UltraSignup

Race registration, results and free timing for trail, ultra and endurance events in North America.

- [The fee per ticket: yes — A percentage of the registration price plus a fixed amount charged once per cart, banded by price: 6.25% + $2.50 with a $3.50 minimum under $100, 6.5% + $3.50 to $999, then 5.25% + $5.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/30362746490637-What-are-the-event-hosting-fees-on-UltraSignup)
- [All-in price at checkout: yes — Since July 2024 every displayed price on the platform includes service fees and tax, with the breakdown shown at checkout, and directors cannot switch the display back.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/30339314302733-Why-Does-My-Price-Show-Higher-at-Checkout-Pricing-Display-Regulations-Explained)
- [Donations and tips: yes — Donations are collected three ways: a small registration fee with tiered donation add-ons, a $0 registration with an optional or required donation add-on, or priced donation levels; the article does not say checkout asks buyers to tip UltraSignup.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/30339250114189-Create-a-Donation-Based-Event-to-Raise-Funds-for-Charity)

**Trade-offs against Partiful:**
- [Fees on refunds: no — Processing fees are stated as non-refundable, and UltraSignup itself issues no refunds: the registration money sits with the race director, who decides each request, so the fees are lost when a refund is given.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/35717787812621-Can-I-Get-a-Refund-on-UltraSignup-Race-Registration-Policy)
- [Plans and subscriptions: no — Pricing is stated purely as a percentage tied to each registration price, with no monthly or annual hosting plan offered or any plan that changes the fee bands.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/30362746490637-What-are-the-event-hosting-fees-on-UltraSignup)

**Where it improves on Partiful:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — One flat 99¢ fee per paid ticket, with no percentage and no cap, dropping to 49¢ on tickets of $5 or less and 49¢ on door sales through the box office app; card processing of 2.9% + 30¢ sits on top.](https://www.ticketspice.com/pricing)
- [Donations and tips: yes — Buyers can add a donation to an order with a donation field, or give without attending through a donation ticket level; the field carries no platform fee while a donation ticket level pays the 99¢ per ticket fee, and checkout can ask donors to cover the processing fee rather than tipping the platform.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/2829765)
- [When you get the money: yes — Money goes to the organizer's own bank account on a chosen schedule as tickets sell, not after the event, with fees netted out and no payout charge named.](https://www.ticketspice.com/pricing)

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

### 9. Ticket Tailor

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

**Where it improves on Partiful:**
- [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)
- [Donations and tips: yes — Buyers can add a donation on top of their order once at least one ticket type exists, and Ticket Tailor charges no fee on donations although the payment processor does; the pages say nothing about asking buyers to tip the platform itself.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/950984-how-to-accept-donations-for-your-event)

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