The free alternative to Ticket Tailor
Ticket Tailor is a low-cost, no-commission platform — but it still charges a fee on every ticket you sell. Ticketable charges nothing: 0% platform fees, with Stripe passed through at cost.
Start selling free →Ticket Tailor's per-ticket fee is small, but it adds up at scale: even a ~£0.50 fee across 1,000 tickets is about £500. Ticketable charges £0 per ticket, on every event, forever.

Running a ticketing platform isn’t as expensive as the big players make out. Ticketable covers its costs through small, tasteful, non-intrusive advertising — for example a discreet sponsor logo on the printable ticket. Nothing on your event page, and nothing that interrupts your buyer. That’s the only thing subsidising the platform — so you keep every penny of your ticket revenue.
Ticketable vs Ticket Tailor — your questions
Is Ticketable cheaper than Ticket Tailor?
Both pass card processing through at cost and pay you directly, so the difference is the platform fee. Ticket Tailor charges a small fee on every ticket; Ticketable charges £0 — so across enough tickets, Ticketable works out cheaper.
Is Ticketable really free?
Yes — no platform fee, no per-ticket cut, no subscription. It's funded by tasteful advertising on printable tickets, not by charging organisers.
Do I keep control of payments?
Yes. You connect your own Stripe account and money goes straight to your bank — Ticketable never holds your funds.
What about free events?
Free events are free on both. With Ticketable, paid events carry no platform fee either.
