The free alternative to Tickts
Tickts is a newer UK platform with the same headline promise as Ticketable — 0% commission for organisers, no booking fees for fans, running on your own Stripe. It's a genuine zero-fee peer, so the differences are in the detail: Tickts keeps some tools behind paid monthly plans (£29–£69/mo), its door scanner is web-based, and it takes a resale fee — whereas Ticketable's whole platform is free, its scanner app works fully offline, and there's no resale cut.

The real difference is subscriptions: Tickts puts tools like custom branding, payment plans, waitlists and its API on £29/mo (Growth) or £69/mo (Pro) plans — up to £690/year billed annually. Ticketable has no paid tiers at all, so there's nothing extra to buy.

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.
