## Shortlist

### 1. Race Entry

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

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

**Trade-offs against Zeffy:**
- [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 Zeffy:**
- [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/)
- [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/)
- [Registration forms and waivers: yes — Registration campaigns collect your own custom fields in text, date, yes/no and other question types alongside standard attendee details; the site does not document a signable waiver or e-signature field.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288784911515-Ask-custom-questions)

**Trade-offs against Zeffy:**
- [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)
- [Free events: partial — Free and hidden $0 tickets can be issued with no charge to the attendee, but GoFundMe Pro itself is only sold with an annual upfront subscription, so running a free event is never free of platform cost.](https://prosupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/37288772287131-Create-a-ticketed-event)
- [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/)

[View GoFundMe Pro](https://boxofficefees.com/gofundme-pro)

### 3. Eventbrite

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

**Where it improves on Zeffy:**
- [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/)
- [Sales tax on tickets: yes — Eventbrite collects, remits, and reports tax in locations where it is the collecting party.](https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/111819/understanding-your-event-payout-amount/)

**Trade-offs against Zeffy:**
- [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. TicketSpice

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

**Where it improves on Zeffy:**
- [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)
- [Reserved seating: yes — Buyers pick seats on a chart the organizer builds, with pricing tiers per seat, holds, tables and pods, and a seat-view preview on mobile.](https://www.ticketspice.com/features/reserved-seating-event-ticketing-system)
- [Registration forms and waivers: yes — The drag-and-drop builder offers dozens of field types and integrated e-signature waivers, with optional selfie or photo ID checks on the signer.](https://www.ticketspice.com/features/digital-release-waivers-for-event-ticketing)

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

### 5. Ticket Tailor

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

**Where it improves on Zeffy:**
- [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)
- [Sales tax on tickets: yes — adds a tax line: you set an inclusive or exclusive sales tax/VAT percentage and label per box office or per event, and the vendor states the organizer remains responsible for deciding, collecting and remitting it.](https://help.tickettailor.com/en/articles/1549496-where-can-i-add-sales-tax-vat-to-my-tickets)
- [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)

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

### 6. RSVPify

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

**Where it improves on Zeffy:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — RSVPify charges ticket sellers a 1.95 percent fee plus 90 cents per registrant.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)
- [Plans and subscriptions: yes — RSVPify publishes paid Starter, Plus, Professional, and custom Enterprise plans alongside ticket fees.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)
- [Registration forms and waivers: yes — Custom registration forms provide conditional logic, capacity controls, and attendee data collection.](https://rsvpify.com/robots.txt)

**Trade-offs against Zeffy:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Door sales: partial — You can take money at the door, but only by offering a pay-later ticket option with payment collected off the platform, so no card terminal or door fee is documented.](https://help.rsvpify.com/en/articles/2389959-how-do-i-allow-guests-to-pay-at-the-door)

### 7. RunSignup

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

**Where it improves on Zeffy:**
- [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-)
- [Sales tax on tickets: yes — collects and remits — in marketplace states RunSignup calculates, collects and files the sales tax on registrations and merchandise on the organizer's behalf, and always handles tax on its own processing fee.](https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000097245-sales-tax-faq)
- [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/)

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

### 8. Humanitix

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

**Where it improves on Zeffy:**
- [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)
- [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)
- [Reserved seating: yes — You can build seat maps for tables, auditoriums and stall layouts and let buyers choose their own seat.](https://humanitix.com/us/features)

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

### 9. Auctria

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

**Where it improves on Zeffy:**
- [The fee per ticket: yes — There is no percentage of revenue and no per-ticket surcharge: the cost is a fixed annual license plus a plan-based percentage (1%, 0.5% or 0.25%) on card transactions processed through Auctria's integration.](https://www.auctria.com/pricing/)
- [Plans and subscriptions: yes — Three yearly licenses priced by tracked revenue: free Explorer, Emerald at $375 a year and Diamond at $750 a year, and the higher the plan the lower Auctria's card fee, falling from 1% to 0.5% to 0.25%.](https://www.auctria.com/pricing/)
- [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/)

**Trade-offs against Zeffy:**
- [Nonprofit rates: partial — Auctria's own license price is the same for everyone and nonprofit status is not required to use it; the only nonprofit discount it points to is Stripe's separate 501(c)(3) processing program.](https://www.auctria.com/pricing/)
- [Email to buyers: partial — Custom emails to participants are a paid-plan feature, but the vendor explicitly asks organizers to keep Auctria email transactional and to promote upcoming events through a third-party bulk email service instead.](https://academy.auctria.com/communication/transactional_versus_marketing_emails/)
- [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/)
