Comparison based on publicly-available pricing and product pages as of 2026. Features can move between competitor tiers — most rivals lock check-in, email or exports behind their higher-priced "Pro" or "Plus" plans. If any of this looks out of date, email hello@affra.io and we'll update it.
/ honest checkout
No surprise booking fees.
Your customers always see the all-in price.
Every platform quotes a "from" price and then springs a booking fee on the final screen. We don't. What your buyer sees at the top of the page is what their card gets charged — no gotchas, no cart abandonment, no angry emails.

Same number as the top of the page. Every time.
Exactly the price they saw. No surprises.
Buyers finish checkout. Refund requests drop. Trust in your brand goes up.
One price. Displayed everywhere.
The all-in price appears on the event page, in social share cards, in confirmation emails and on the receipt. No maths for the buyer.
Fewer abandoned carts.
Sticker shock at the final screen is the #1 reason buyers drop out. When the price never changes, they keep going.
Zero support tickets about “hidden fees”.
Your inbox stops filling up with “why did you charge me extra?” because you didn't.
/ pricing
Free forever.
Simple, transparent pricing.
No monthly fees. No cost per ticket. We only get paid when you sell tickets — through the buyer's 5% booking fee per ticket (£1.25 minimum). Out of that we cover Stripe card processing on every sale and you keep 100% of every ticket price. No card fees on your Stripe statement, no reconciliation.

Questions? We got you.
Are you open to promoters as well as venues?
Yes — both. **Venues** run events at one fixed location (their own room). **Promoters** run events across many locations — clubs, warehouses, tours, festivals — and set the location per event. The pricing is identical: a 5% booking fee (£1.25 minimum) charged to the buyer, no monthly fee, and we absorb Stripe card processing on every sale. Pick your account type on the sign-up page.
How does the booking fee work?
Ticket buyers pay a small booking fee at checkout — 5% of face value with a £1.25 minimum. That's how Affra gets paid. Out of that fee, we pay Stripe's card processing costs on your behalf on **every** ticket you sell. You keep 100% of the face value on every ticket, forever. Nothing to reconcile, no card fees on your Stripe statement.
We only sell tickets to members, is that a problem?
Not at all — sell memberships directly through our platform. Your members get a beautiful digital QR members card that lives in their Apple or Google Wallet, so no more replacing lost cards.
Is there a maximum ticket price?
No — sell tickets at any price. Our booking fee scales with face value (5% of face value, £1.25 minimum) so the maths stays predictable at every price point.
Do I need my own Stripe account?
Yes. You'll connect a Stripe Express account in one click from your dashboard. All ticket revenue is paid directly to you by Stripe on their normal payout schedule.
Can I use my own domain?
By default you get a yourvenue.affra.io subdomain. A fully custom domain (tickets.yourvenue.com) is available on request.
What about recurring events?
Set it up once with a weekly, monthly or custom schedule and we handle the ticket links, page and analytics for every occurrence.
What happens with my data & my customers' data?
Affra is a software platform — we do not harvest, collect, sell, trade or distribute your or your customers' data.
We use third-party payment processors and third-party email delivery partners. We cannot access your or your customers' data without your written permission to do so (such as support requests or new features).
