Keep every dollar you raise.

The problem

Why nonprofits pay too much for ticketing

Ticket platforms built for commercial promoters charge per-ticket fees. That model makes sense when you’re a venue maximizing revenue, but nonprofits aren’t trying to maximize revenue, they’re trying to keep costs low so more of the ticket price reaches the mission.

Eventbrite’s service fee is a percentage of the ticket price plus a flat per-ticket charge, plus payment processing on top. On a $25 fundraising ticket, that’s $3.52 per ticket before your donor’s money reaches you. On a sold-out 400-ticket event, you’ve donated over $1,407 to a ticketing company.

Equaticket is a flat subscription. Sell 10 tickets or 1,000. The monthly cost doesn’t change.

How it works

What you get

Zero Equaticket ticket fees

Your $25 ticket raises $25 minus payment processing. That's it. No Equaticket service fees, no per-attendee platform charges, no platform cut. Stripe's payment processing applies (approximately 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction), but that's Stripe's fee, not ours.

Your donors are yours

Every buyer's name and email is in your Equaticket audience dashboard. Export your full attendee list as a CSV anytime, no restrictions. Connect Kit to add donors directly to your email list.

Waitlist for high-demand events

Set a ticket limit and enable the waitlist. When tickets sell out, buyers can join a waitlist and are automatically notified if a spot opens up. Useful for galas, benefit dinners, and limited-capacity fundraisers.

Embed on your existing site

If you already have a website (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or anything else), you can embed the Equaticket ticket widget directly on your event page. Your donors never leave your site. No separate platform to maintain.

Free events at no cost

Host a free community event, volunteer orientation, or RSVP-only gathering at no charge. Free tickets don't use up your ticket allowance.

Promo codes for early donors

Create promo codes that offer a discounted ticket price for your most loyal donors, board members, or volunteers. Set usage limits so early-bird pricing applies only to your inner circle.

Frequently asked questions

Do you offer nonprofit discounts?

We don't have a separate nonprofit tier, but our flat subscription model already makes a significant difference for mission-driven organizations. Sell 200 tickets at a gala and you're on Starter at $29/mo; sell 2,000 and you're on Growth at $79/mo. Either way, none of your ticket revenue goes to a platform.

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. Available once per organization within 30 days of starting a paid subscription. A refund ends your paid plan immediately and may pause future paid events.

Can I embed ticket sales on my own website?

Yes. Every Equaticket plan includes an embeddable checkout widget. Paste a single script tag into your site (WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, or any HTML page) and the ticket purchase flow runs directly on your site. Buyers never leave your domain.

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. Paid plans include real-time multi-device sync, so multiple scanners at multiple gates stay in sync instantly with no double-entries.
