## Shortlist

### 1. Race Entry

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

**Where it improves on Ticket Tailor:**
- [Disputed charges: yes — Race Entry contests the dispute itself but passes any unreversed amount and associated bank fees back to the organizer, by deduction or invoice.](https://www.raceentry.com/terms-and-conditions)
- [Email to buyers: yes — A mass email tool with segmentation, templates, scheduling and open and click reporting is included at no additional cost to the organizer.](https://www.raceentry.com/race-director-faq)
- [Support on event day: yes — A direct US phone number, email support and a dedicated account manager are published; the hours of cover are not stated anywhere.](https://www.raceentry.com/contact-us)

**Trade-offs against Ticket Tailor:**
- [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)
- [API: partial — A documented REST API exists for participants, teams and races, but access is restricted to authorized timing partners rather than open to any organizer.](https://www.raceentry.com/documentation/timerapi/index)

### 2. GoFundMe Pro

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

**Where it improves on Ticket Tailor:**
- [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)
- [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/)
- [Disputed charges: yes — The organization bears costs when a buyer disputes the charge with their bank: a $4 fee applies if the organization loses or accepts the dispute, $15 for PayPal, and it must reply within 5 days or the dispute is accepted automatically.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288800477851-Stop-a-chargeback)

**Trade-offs against Ticket Tailor:**
- [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/)
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — When the organization passes fees to buyers the fee is folded into the displayed ticket cost and a Fee Estimate block previews it, but no page addresses whether every mandatory fee is shown in the first price.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288772287131-Create-a-ticketed-event)
- [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)

### 3. Eventbrite

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

**Where it improves on Ticket Tailor:**
- [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/)
- [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/)
- [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 Ticket Tailor:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — Fees can be included in a chosen ticket price or added above it, so display depends on organizer settings.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/755615/how-much-does-it-cost-for-organizers-to-use-eventbrite/)
- [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. RunSignup

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

**Where it improves on Ticket Tailor:**
- [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/)
- [Fees on refunds: partial — By default the registrant does not get the original processing fee back; the organizer can return it only by covering it from race proceeds, and may also set its own refund handling fee.](https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000064221-enable-refunds-for-your-race)
- [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 Ticket Tailor:**
- [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)

### 5. TicketSpice

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

**Where it improves on Ticket Tailor:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [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)

**Trade-offs against Ticket Tailor:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — It depends on how the organizer configures the page: the vendor warns that its separate line item fee often breaks the FTC all-in rule and recommends absorbing fees or using the pass-on setting instead.](https://help.ticketspice.com/en/articles/9299044)
- [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)

### 6. Humanitix

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

**Where it improves on Ticket Tailor:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Email to buyers: yes — Email campaigns reach your attendees from inside Humanitix, and a Mailchimp connection lets you market a next event to past buyers.](https://humanitix.com/us/faqs)

**Trade-offs against Ticket Tailor:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — Prices buyers see are inclusive of fees, but they are printed as the ticket price followed by the fee, and events where the host pays the fee show no fee at all.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/9653327-changes-to-how-ticket-prices-and-booking-fees-are-displayed)
- [Refund protection at checkout: partial — offered, off by default: Xcover provides it, buyers choose and pay for it at checkout, and a host must ask Humanitix support to switch it on.](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/9187932-enable-refund-protection-on-ticket-purchases)
- [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)

### 7. UltraSignup

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

**Where it improves on Ticket Tailor:**
- [Free events: yes — A registration priced at $0 carries no hosting fee in both the U.S. and non-U.S. fee tables, so a free event costs the organizer nothing; paid add-ons on that registration are still charged 6.25% + $1.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/30362746490637-What-are-the-event-hosting-fees-on-UltraSignup)
- [Disputed charges: yes — When a buyer disputes the charge with their bank, the funds plus additional fees are deducted from the director's account and appear as an adjustment on the statement, with no fee amount published.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/30364243989261-What-is-the-chargeback-adjustment-to-my-statement)
- [Refunds and transfers by buyers: yes — Runners cancel their own order up to a date the director sets, three days before race day by default, and transfer their bib to another runner when the director enables it.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/30339234344973-How-to-Allow-Runners-to-Transfer-Their-Bib)

**Trade-offs against Ticket Tailor:**
- [Sales tax on tickets: partial — collects and remits sales tax as a marketplace facilitator once the threshold in your state is met, but directors in Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon still file their own.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/30339318015501-Does-UltraSignup-Collect-and-File-Sales-Tax-for-My-Event-How-Taxes-Work-on-UltraSignup)
- [Sign up without a sales call: partial — Setup is a five-step self-serve flow, but lotteries, bundled pricing, more than three tiers, multi-day and club programs need the support team, and free events must be approved before activation.](https://help.ultrasignup.com/hc/en-us/articles/44913226172301-Host-Your-Event-on-UltraSignup)

### 8. RSVPify

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

**Where it improves on Ticket Tailor:**
- [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)
- [Email to buyers: yes — RSVPify provides branded invitations, reminders, and email campaigns addressed to event guests.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)

**Trade-offs against Ticket Tailor:**
- [All-in price at checkout: partial — When you pay the fees yourself the advertised ticket price is what buyers pay, but with the setting turned on the service and card fees are added to the buyer's price during checkout rather than shown in the ticket price.](https://help.rsvpify.com/en/articles/3948351-how-can-i-pass-fees-or-taxes-on-to-my-guests)
- [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/)

### 9. Zeffy

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

**Where it improves on Ticket Tailor:**
- [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)
- [Fees on refunds: partial — Refunds return the full amount because no platform fee was taken, but the buyer's optional contribution to Zeffy is not refunded automatically; the donor must request it from their confirmation email.](https://support.zeffy.com/issue-refunds-and-manage-cancellations-sfeqf)
- [Disputed charges: yes — Zeffy files the evidence for you, but if the bank rules for the buyer who disputed the charge, the organization loses the funds; no fee for this is named anywhere in the dispute article.](https://support.zeffy.com/disputes-and-chargebacks-y63dc)

**Trade-offs against Ticket Tailor:**
- [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)
