## Shortlist

### 1. Race Entry

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

**Where it improves on Tickera:**
- [Registration forms and waivers: yes — A fully customizable two-page registration form with your own questions and branding; the site does not say whether a signed waiver can be attached to it.](https://www.raceentry.com/benefits-of-race-entry)
- [Add-ons: yes — Merchandise and extras sell inside the registration flow or from a separate store, with rules showing items by category or gender.](https://www.raceentry.com/comparison-of-online-registration-systems)
- [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)

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

### 2. Eventbrite

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

**Where it improves on Tickera:**
- [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/)
- [Registration forms and waivers: yes — Custom order-form questions and required additional terms let organizers collect fields and waiver agreement.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/890557/how-to-include-a-waiver-with-registration/)
- [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/)

**Trade-offs against Tickera:**
- [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/)
- [Contract: partial — Eventbrite Premium can be canceled in account settings, but the subscription stays active through its billing cycle.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/193833/eventbrites-new-pricing-plans/)

**Where it improves on Tickera:**

- [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)
- [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)

**Trade-offs against Tickera:**
- [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)
- [Contract: partial — The DIY plan is monthly and self-service, while Enterprise is described as an annual contract.](https://rsvpify.com/enterprise/)

- [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)
- [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)

### 6. Ticket Tailor

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

**Where it improves on Tickera:**
- [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)
- [Registration forms and waivers: yes — You build your own registration questions per box office or per event and can require a typed signature against your full terms, which the vendor explicitly positions for signed waivers at physical-activity events.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/12640861-how-to-ask-ticket-buyers-to-sign-a-waiver)

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

### 7. Givebutter

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

**Where it improves on Tickera:**
- [Registration forms and waivers: yes — Registration fundraising turns sign-up into a form with your own custom fields, and the vendor documents putting a waiver or terms link into a field description with HTML so attendees must read and agree at checkout.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/3661362-how-to-create-and-edit-tickets)
- [Add-ons: yes — Extras ride along as ticket records: the ticket builder is used for entry tickets, raffle tickets and items for sale, and bundles let you package a table or add-on into one purchasable unit.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/3661362-how-to-create-and-edit-tickets)
- [Recurring events: partial — There is no scheduler for a series: the documented route for repeating an event is duplicating the campaign, which copies the setup but creates a separate campaign each time you run it.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/3688279-how-to-configure-an-event-campaign)

**Trade-offs against Tickera:**
- [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)
- [Sell on your own website: partial — Widgets embed the ticket checkout on your own site so buyers pay without being redirected, but an embedded event widget carries only the checkout flow, not the campaign page with its story and goal bar.](https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/6464859-how-to-use-givebutter-widgets-on-your-website)
- [Google Wallet: no — Google Wallet passes are advertised as still on the way while Apple Wallet already ships, so Android guests currently use the PDF ticket or the QR code in their portal instead.](https://givebutter.com/features/event-ticketing)

### 8. Auctria

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

**Where it improves on Tickera:**
- [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/)
- [Registration forms and waivers: yes — Online registration is configurable field by field with custom questions, required address, phone and guest details, meal choices and a terms-of-use agreement whose wording the organizer can extend, though no dedicated e-signature waiver tool is described.](https://academy.auctria.com/participants/registration/)
- [Add-ons: yes — For Sale items let buyers add merchandise, drinks or food tickets at fixed prices alongside their admission, online or recorded in the room on the admin app.](https://www.auctria.com/features/)

**Trade-offs against Tickera:**
- [Sales tax on tickets: partial — adds a tax line you configure: Auctria calculates up to three sales taxes per category, inclusive or exclusive of the bid, and reports what was collected, but it does not remit anything and the feature needs a paid license.](https://academy.auctria.com/items/sales_tax/)
- [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/)

### 9. RunSignup

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

**Where it improves on Tickera:**
- [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)
- [Registration forms and waivers: yes — The registration form takes your own fields and collects waivers digitally, with a documented ceiling of three waivers per event for sponsor or governing-body requirements.](https://info.runsignup.com/products/race-registration/)
- [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/)

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