## Shortlist

### 1. Eventbrite

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

**Where it improves on Spektrix:**
- [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/)
- [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/)

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

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

### 2. Ticket Tailor

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

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

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

### 3. TicketSpice

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

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

**Trade-offs against Spektrix:**
- [Website builders: partial — embed only: the documented route for Squarespace, Wix, Weebly and WordPress is pasted iframe, pop-over or widget code, not a platform-specific plugin or app.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/11068100)
- [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)
- [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)

### 4. Etix

Venue-focused primary ticketing with box office, scanning, patron data and marketing, sold by quote.

**Where it improves on Spektrix:**

**Trade-offs against Spektrix:**
- [Card processing: partial — Etix runs card payments through its own processors, but says clients may instead connect their own payment processor; no processing rate or who bears it is published.](https://support.etix.com/purchasing-tickets/etix-says-sorry-this-card-is-not-accepted-when-i-try-to-purchase-what-can-i-do)
- [When you get the money: partial — For the TutuTix dance line Etix publishes weekly direct deposit of the prior week's sales; for the core Etix platform no payout schedule or payout fee is published.](https://hello.etix.com/clients/dance-studios)

### 5. Ticketmaster

Enterprise ticketing for venues, teams and promoters, sold through its own marketplace.

**Where it improves on Spektrix:**

**Trade-offs against Spektrix:**
- [Card processing: partial — Card processing is bundled inside Ticketmaster's share of the service fee rather than charged separately to the buyer, but no processing percentage or per-order amount is published anywhere on its help or business pages.](https://help.ticketmaster.com/hc/en-us/articles/9663528775313-How-are-ticket-prices-and-fees-determined)
- [API: partial — Discovery and Commerce are published as Open APIs anyone can register a key for, but the organizer-side Partner, Publish, Season Ticketing and Inventory Status APIs sit behind being an existing Ticketmaster client.](https://developer.ticketmaster.com/products-and-docs/)

### 6. TicketLeap

Per-ticket event ticketing with no plans or contracts, $1 + 2% plus a 3% transaction fee.

**Trade-offs against Spektrix:**
- [When you get the money: no — Money is held until after the event: payouts reach the organizer's bank by direct deposit 4-6 business days after the event ends, 5-7 for Canadian sellers, and multi-day events pay out per event date; no payout fee is stated.](https://support.ticketleap.com/en_US/fees-payments/when-do-i-get-paid)
- [Sell on your own website: no — The website tool is a customizable 'Buy Tickets' button whose generated code you paste onto your site; the vendor describes it as directing buyers from your website to a TicketLeap ticket-purchasing page rather than checking out in place.](https://support.ticketleap.com/en_US/marketing-integrations/creating-a-buy-tickets-button)
- [Email to buyers: partial — Email Campaigns sends to your past ticket buyers from inside the platform, but promotional sends are limited to people who opted in to your marketing emails, while operational emails reach everyone on the selected event.](https://support.ticketleap.com/en_US/attendee-management/how-can-i-email-attendees)

Licensed CRM and ticketing platform for arts and cultural organizations, with no transaction fees.

**Where it improves on Spektrix:**

[View Tessitura](https://boxofficefees.com/tessitura)

### 8. Tickera

Sell tickets from WordPress on unlimited sites, with 25 add-ons and a pay-once license option.

**Where it improves on Spektrix:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — Tickera charges nothing per paid ticket on any plan; the license fee is the only money it takes from an organizer.](https://tickera.com/pricing/)
- [Disputed charges: yes — Disputes sit with whichever payment provider you connected, because Tickera records the order only and never handles the money or any dispute fee.](https://tickera.com/supported-payment-gateways/)

**Trade-offs against Spektrix:**
- [Reserved seating: partial — Buyers pick seats on a drag-and-drop venue chart, but only through the Seating Charts add-on, which the entry Standard license leaves out.](https://tickera.com/pricing/)
- [Website builders: partial — native plugin or app: it installs into WordPress and nothing else, with the vendor stating outright that it works only with WordPress, so Squarespace, Wix and Shopify sites cannot run it.](https://tickera.com/all-docs/)
- [Add-ons: partial — Tickera itself cannot sell merchandise or parking with a ticket; the vendor's route is the WooCommerce bridge plus a third-party product add-ons plugin.](https://tickera.com/tickera-documentation/faq/can-sell-perks-additions-tickets/)

**Where it improves on Spektrix:**

- [Card processing: partial — Card payments run through the organizer's own WooCommerce payment provider, so the rate is whatever that provider charges; FooEvents publishes no processing rate of its own.](https://www.fooevents.com/features/woocommerce/)
- [Reserved seating: partial — Buyers can pick seats on an interactive chart, but only with the separately licensed FooEvents Seating extension on top of the core plugin.](https://www.fooevents.com/products/fooevents-seating/)
