| Platform |
Service Fee
The platform's own fee for using its ticketing software. Ticket Committee charges $0 here; the others take a cut of every ticket.
|
Subscription
What the platform charges you to use it, regardless of how much you sell. Ticket Committee charges a flat $99 a year and nothing per ticket; the others charge nothing up front and take a cut of each ticket instead.
|
Card Processing
The credit card processor's fee, estimated per platform from each one's published rates. Every platform charges this on top of its service fee, including Ticket Committee (through your own Stripe account).
|
Total Fees
Everything this event costs you: subscription plus service fee plus card processing. The Ticket Committee subscription is billed once a year and includes your first published campaign, so it is counted against this event and not against every event you run. Publishing another campaign in the same year costs $24.99.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ticket Committee | $0.00 | $99.00/yr | $256.25 | $355.25 $281.24 for each event after the first |
| Eventbrite | $678.75 | $0.00 | $181.25 | $860.00 |
Ticket Committee is a flat $99/year with no per-ticket fees. You still pay card processing through your own Stripe account, and every platform here charges card processing too. The difference is the service fee they add on top: up to $678.75 on 250 tickets at $25.00, more than a full year of Ticket Committee.
Card processing is estimated from each platform's published rates and charged on top of the service fee shown. Actual processing may vary, and TicketLeap's reduced rate for tickets $5 and under is not modeled. Ticket Committee's subscription is charged once a year, not per event, and is counted in full against the single event shown here. Silent auctions carry a separate 1.2%, capped at $15 fee per winning item.

Built-in parent SMS check-in alerts, digital waivers, and SMS messaging that Eventbrite does not offer.
About Eventbrite: Eventbrite is built for the broad event market, from concerts to conferences. It is easy to start with, but its per-ticket service fee scales with your sales, and payouts run through Eventbrite rather than your own Stripe account.
