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.
