Why organizers switch
The case for flat monthly pricing
Flat costs that scale with you
TicketSpice charges $0.99 per ticket. Sell 500 tickets at $30 each and you’re paying $495+ just in platform fees — on top of Stripe processing. Equaticket’s Growth plan is $79/month, period. The math changes fast.
Revenue straight to your bank
With TicketSpice, payments flow through their system before reaching you. Equaticket uses your own Stripe account — buyers pay you directly, funds settle on Stripe’s standard two-day rolling schedule.
Your branding, all plans
TicketSpice’s custom branding is a paid-plan feature. On Equaticket, white-label branding — your logo, your colors, your checkout flow — is included on every paid tier from Starter up.
Predictable budgeting
Running a weekly event series or monthly workshop? Per-ticket pricing means every new attendee is another line item. Equaticket’s flat subscription means you can budget for the whole quarter without doing per-ticket math.
