How we chose

  • Every tool on this list does the core job of event ticketing & registration, so it can replace TixFox for most people.
  • We weighed pricing and free plans, ease of use, and the trade-offs you take on when switching.
  • Pricing comes from each vendor’s public pricing page and changes often, so confirm before you buy.

Buying guide: what to check before you switch

Event ticketing platforms let you create an event page, sell tickets or take free registrations, collect payments and scan attendees in at the door. The biggest difference between them is fees: some charge a percentage of every ticket, others a small flat fee, and most are free for free events.

  • Fee per ticket (flat vs percentage) and who pays it
  • Payout timing and payment processor
  • Check-in app and door sales
  • Discount codes, add-ons and reserved seating
