Excellent value for money with discounts for charities / not for profits, and the option to buy credits in advance for a reduced price.

Ticket Tailor vs. Zeffy
Let's talk ticketing. How do the features and pricing models stack up on the two platforms and which is right for you?
Your supporters save with Ticket Tailor
Zeffy operates on a clever tip-based pricing model asking for contributions from your supporters to cover their operating costs. Ticket Tailor runs a flat fee model with the option to pass on fees making it free for you.
- Zeffy: an optional supporter contribution at checkout, pre-filled at 15% to 17%
- Ticket Tailor: a low flat fee per ticket, from 22p, with 50% off for charities
- Ticket Tailor: Choose to pass our fees on to your ticket buyer making the platform free for you
Direct payouts and donations that reach your cause
Donations really matter for charities so knowing where those all important contributions end up matter:
- Ticket Tailor: ticket sales go directly to your Stripe, PayPal or Square account, and we never touch them
- Ticket Tailor: supporters can add a donation alongside their tickets, and you can claim Gift Aid on it. All of this goes to you.
- Zeffy: the supporter contribution goes to Zeffy rather than to your cause
A platform built for ticketing
If your event goes beyond the basics of waitlists and QR check-in then we've got you covered with more refined features:
- Reserved seating: build a seating chart that buyers click to choose their own seats
- Time slots, so guests can choose when they attend
- Sell products and add-ons alongside tickets
- Automate and integrate with Claude & ChatGPT.
Unmatched 24/7 support for everyone
We'd be lying if every event on our platform went smoothly without a hiccup. It's super rare, but we're here when it matters.
- Ticket Tailor: 24/7 support from product experts, every day of the year
- Ticket Tailor: a response in five minutes or less
- Zeffy: support from 9am to 5pm EST (2pm to 10pm in the UK), by phone or email

Why charities and community groups choose Ticket Tailor
Reviews from Event Creators on Capterra
They continue to develop and release new features, without trying to increase what they charge us. As a small nonprofit, the pay as you go feature is a must have and wonderful way to unlock premium products.
Ticket Tailor made hosting our community fundraiser simple and stress-free. It provided an affordable way to manage ticket sales while supporting our mission, and attendees found the checkout process quick and easy.
This worked brilliantly for our film night at a community centre. It was easy to add a donation option for our chosen charity and to add trailers and film images to show off what we were screening.
Really pleased, customer service has been impeccable, I had a few questions when setting up the page and the webchat was always quick and easy to use, with helpful advice from a real person, not a robot!
The platform is very user friendly, versatile, perfect for student unions like ours. We also really appreciate the value, with a non-profits discount.
