How Billing Works

How Billing Works
Equaticket charges a flat subscription fee with zero per-ticket fees. You pay Stripe's standard processing fees (2.9% + $0.30) directly to Stripe -- we never mark up or touch your payment processing.
Plans and pricing
| Plan | Monthly equivalent | Quarterly | Annual (25% off) | Tickets/month |
|------|-------------------|-----------|-------------------|---------------|
| Free | $0 | -- | -- | 50 |
| Starter | $29 | $87 | $261 | 250 |
| Growth | $79 | $237 | $711 | 1,000 |
| Pro | $189 | $567 | $1,701 | 3,500 |
All paid plans are billed quarterly (minimum) or annually. There is no monthly billing option. Annual plans save 25% -- that is effectively one quarter free.
What every tier includes
All tiers -- including Free -- get unlimited events, ticket sales, an embeddable widget, custom branding, promo codes, basic check-in, order management, and refunds. The "Powered by Equaticket" attribution appears on all tiers. Paid tiers add check-in PWA with realtime sync, gate/zone management, BYO email domain, check-in analytics and data export.
Pro adds priority support with guaranteed 24-hour response time. Need more than 3,500 tickets/month? Contact us for Enterprise pricing.
Monthly ticket cap
The only hard limit is your monthly ticket cap. Here is how enforcement works:
- At 80%: You see a dashboard warning and receive an email heads-up.
- At 90%: A more prominent warning appears.
- At 100%: You cannot publish new events, but existing published events continue selling through the end of the month. We never block a buyer's purchase on a live event.
Caps reset on the 1st of each month at midnight UTC.
Upgrades and downgrades
- Upgrades take effect immediately. Unused time on your current plan is prorated as a credit toward the new plan.
- Downgrades take effect at your next renewal. You keep your current plan's features through the end of your prepaid period.
- Cancellation works like a downgrade to Free -- your access continues through the end of your prepaid period.
Money-back guarantee
Every paid plan includes a no-questions-asked full refund guarantee on your first quarterly payment. If Equaticket is not the right fit, request a refund any time within your first billing period and you will receive a full refund.
