Compare event platforms, all 30 Event Schedule vs everyone else

Correct. We never take a percentage of your ticket sales on any plan. You pay your payment processor directly, and on Stripe that is 2.9% + $0.30 per ticket. Money from ticket sales goes straight to your own Stripe or PayPal account, not through us.

Yes to both, on Pro. You connect your own Stripe or PayPal account and choose one for each event, and the money goes to that account. A Stripe or PayPal sale can be refunded from the Sales page in full or in part, with the money going back through the same provider, and a partial refund leaves the tickets valid. A sale taken another way, such as cash or a payment link, is marked as refunded instead, which records it without moving any money.

Yes, on the Enterprise plan, for venue schedules. You draw a seating plan once, with sections, rows, tables and standing areas, and reuse it for every date. Buyers pick their seats from the map, and the box office can hold seats back, book seats for a phone order, move a buyer or release a seat.

Yes. A buyer can put tickets to several of your events in one cart and pay once, and the cart works with Stripe and PayPal. Installments are a Pro feature that runs on Stripe: the first payment is taken at checkout, the ticket is valid straight away, and the rest are charged to the same card month by month.

The pricing page explains what Event Schedule costs. This page puts those costs next to what other platforms charge for the same event, using their published rates, so you can see the difference rather than take our word for it.

Yes. The Eventbrite import brings events across with their venues, tickets and images, and people who already bought can be imported from a CSV of up to 5,000 rows; both are Pro features. From anywhere else, paste the listing text or drop in a flyer image and the details are filled in for you.

Five of them: Event Schedule, Pretix, Hi.Events, Mobilizon and The Events Calendar. All five publish their source and can be selfhosted. Event Schedule runs on standard PHP and MySQL hosting, Pretix and Hi.Events expect Docker, PostgreSQL and Redis, Mobilizon runs on Elixir and PostgreSQL, and The Events Calendar is a WordPress plugin.

Not to publish. The free plan is free forever with unlimited events, unlimited schedules and unlimited free registration. Selling a ticket that carries a price is Pro at R199/mo, which also adds the API, and selfhosted installs get every paid feature at no cost.
