## Shortlist

### 1. Race Entry

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

**Where it improves on SimpleTix:**
- [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 SimpleTix:**
- [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)

### 2. GoFundMe Pro

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

**Where it improves on SimpleTix:**
- [Plans and subscriptions: yes — Pricing is an annual upfront subscription plus a per-donation transaction fee, with plans recommended after a qualification form and premium add-ons such as Live Events and Salesforce charged extra.](https://pro.gofundme.com/c/pricing/)
- [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 SimpleTix:**
- [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/)
- [Reserved seating: partial — Seating exists only as organizer-side table planning on the Live Events Auction and Plus subscriptions, where staff drag attendees onto tables of up to 15 seats; buyers are not shown a seat map to choose from.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288737206427-Table-and-seating-management)
- [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 SimpleTix:**
- [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/)
- [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/)

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

### 4. TicketSpice

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

**Where it improves on SimpleTix:**
- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: yes — If the organizer switches it on, buyers manage themselves in an Account Center: resend, edit, transfer to someone else and take partial refunds.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/8814783)
- [Promoter links: yes — Tracking links give each promoter a named code appended to the page URL, and the attributed orders show up in exports and reporting.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/8616604)

**Trade-offs against SimpleTix:**
- [Sales tax on tickets: partial — adds a tax line: you can attach a line item fee for sales tax as a flat amount or a percentage, but nothing says TicketSpice collects or remits the tax for you.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/9299044)
- [Waitlist: no — The vendor states plainly that no waitlist exists today and points organizers to its sister product RegFox if they need one.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/8706176)
- [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. Humanitix

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

**Where it improves on SimpleTix:**
- [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)
- [Waitlist: yes — A waitlist captures interest once tickets sell out and can release tickets and notify waiting buyers automatically.](https://humanitix.com/us/features)
- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: yes — Hosts can switch on self-service cancellations with a time limit and a refundable share, and buyers can forward a ticket to someone else by email.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/8897185-allow-buyers-to-refund-and-cancel-their-orders-and-tickets)

**Trade-offs against SimpleTix:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Timed entry: partial — Timed slots work as a recurring event where buyers pick an occurrence, but ticket prices and capacities you set apply to every slot alike.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/8888608-event-guide-create-a-recurring-event-with-repeating-dates-and-times)

### 6. Ticket Tailor

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

**Where it improves on SimpleTix:**
- [Waitlist: yes — A waitlist is switched on in an event's advanced settings, collects emails from the event page or widget, can be shown only when tickets are unavailable, and sign-ups are notified by email broadcast.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/2748053-how-to-set-up-a-waitlist-for-your-event)
- [Website builders: yes — native plugin or app: WordPress gets a dedicated plugin and shortcode, while Squarespace, Wix and Weebly are served by the generic HTML embed code; nothing on the pages I read covers Shopify.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/951075-how-to-sell-tickets-on-wordpress)
- [Promoter links: yes — Referral tags create unique links per channel, rep or affiliate, including ready-made embeddable buttons, and sales attributed to each tag are reported on the event summary page.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/951069-how-to-create-referral-and-affiliate-links)

**Trade-offs against SimpleTix:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Ad tracking: partial — Meta pixel plus Conversions API, TikTok pixel and GA4 are supported, but the vendor requires a custom domain on the box office first, and that is a separately billed add-on unless you take white label.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/5560643-can-i-use-a-meta-tracking-pixel)

### 7. RSVPify

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

**Where it improves on SimpleTix:**
- [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)
- [Plans and subscriptions: yes — RSVPify publishes paid Starter, Plus, Professional, and custom Enterprise plans alongside ticket fees.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)
- [Waitlist: yes — Custom registration forms include waitlists alongside capacity limits and conditional logic for controlled event registration.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)

**Trade-offs against SimpleTix:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Reserved seating: partial — There is a seating chart, but the vendor describes it as the host dragging guests to tables, with Table Captains letting hosts fill their own tables, not buyers choosing a seat during checkout.](https://rsvpify.com/pricing/selling-tickets/)

### 8. RunSignup

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

**Where it improves on SimpleTix:**
- [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/)
- [Waitlist: yes — A waiting list can be enabled when an event fills, with separate help articles for turning it on and for working through the list afterward.](https://info.runsignup.com/products/race-registration/)
- [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)

**Trade-offs against SimpleTix:**
- [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/)
- [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/)
- [Recurring events: partial — An annual event is renewed rather than rebuilt, copying settings, store and questions and keeping the same URL, but each edition is still renewed one at a time rather than scheduled as a repeating series.](https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000064301-renewing-your-race)

[View RunSignup](https://boxofficefees.com/runsignup)

### 9. Zeffy

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

**Where it improves on SimpleTix:**
- [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)
- [Website builders: yes — native plugin or app for WordPress and Wix, plus step-by-step embed guides for Squarespace, Shopify, Weebly, GoDaddy and any builder with a custom HTML block.](https://support.zeffy.com/integrating-zeffy-with-other-softwares-74zts)

**Trade-offs against SimpleTix:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Reserved seating: partial — There is no interactive seating map: Zeffy's own instruction is to upload a seating chart image, add a ticket rate per row and use capped single-select questions so each seat can only be taken once.](https://support.zeffy.com/adding-a-seating-chart-to-your-event-go5x8)
