Your ministry shouldn't pay per ticket.

Churches run free services, paid concerts, annual banquets, and community outreach. Equaticket is a flat subscription, so ticketing a sold-out Easter service costs the same as ticketing a midweek Bible study. No per-ticket fees, ever.

The problem

Why churches pay too much for ticketing

Most ticketing platforms were built for commercial promoters. Their pricing model is a percentage of every ticket sold, which makes sense when you're a venue trying to maximize revenue. It doesn't make sense for a church that's just trying to manage capacity for Easter Sunday or keep more of the proceeds from a fundraising dinner.

On a $60 banquet ticket, Eventbrite takes $5.87 per ticket before anything reaches the ministry. Sell 200 seats and you've donated $1,173 to a ticketing company instead of your mission.

Equaticket is a flat subscription. Your banquet, your Christmas concert, and your free Easter service all run on the same plan. Sell more tickets and pay nothing more.

How it works

What you get

No Equaticket fees on any ticket

Your $60 banquet ticket keeps $60 minus payment processing. No Equaticket service fee, no platform cut, no per-attendee charge. Stripe's payment processing applies (approximately 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction), but that's Stripe's fee, not ours.

Free tickets don't use up your allowance

Free RSVPs for Easter services, Christmas Eve, community outreach, or midweek Bible studies don't use up your plan's ticket allowance. Your subscription covers paid events; free tickets never carry an Equaticket fee.

Waitlist for sold-out services

Set a capacity limit and enable the waitlist. When your Easter service fills up, attendees join a waitlist and are automatically notified if a spot opens. No manual tracking, no spreadsheets.

Embed checkout on your church website

If your church already has a website (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or anything else), the Equaticket embeddable checkout widget runs the ticket purchase or RSVP flow directly on your site. Your congregation never leaves your domain to register.

Member pricing and promo codes

Create promo codes for member-only pricing on a banquet or concert. Set usage limits so the discount applies only to those who have the code. Works for staff comps, sponsor tickets, and volunteer passes too.

Your attendee data is yours

Every RSVP and ticket buyer is in your Equaticket audience dashboard. Export your full attendee list as a CSV at any time with no restrictions. Connect Kit to add registrants directly to your ministry email list.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ticket free services like Easter or Christmas without paying per ticket?

Yes. Free tickets on Equaticket have no Equaticket fee and do not use up your plan's ticket allowance (on the Free plan, each event can have up to 500 free tickets). Whether you're issuing free RSVPs for a Christmas Eve service or selling paid tickets for a fundraising banquet, your subscription cost stays the same, and you never pay per ticket.

Does Equaticket charge per ticket?

No. Equaticket charges a flat subscription with no per-ticket fees. We take nothing from each ticket sold. Your attendees pay the price you set, with no added booking fees from us. Stripe payment processing applies at their standard rate (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). Sales tax and organizer-added fees can change a checkout total.

What does it cost to get started?

The Free tier has no time limit. Your first 100 paid tickets are free, with up to 500 free tickets per event. It includes QR check-in and the embeddable checkout widget, and tickets priced at $0 do not count toward your first 100 paid tickets. Paid plans start at $29/mo (Starter): pay monthly with a 3-month minimum, or $87 up front for the 3 months. Starter is sized for 250 tickets a month on average, and gives you 750 at a time. Annual pricing and any applicable discount are shown on the pricing page and at checkout. No credit card required to sign up. Every paid plan, including annual, has a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How does check-in work?

Every ticket includes a unique QR code. Your staff scan it using any smartphone camera through our check-in app, with no hardware required and no app store download needed.
