Tangents figures are exact: this uses the same fee code the checkout charges. Third-party figures are those platforms’ own published rates as of August 2026. Plots publishes a banded table; values between their published rows are interpolated and marked with ~. Verify current rates before relying on any of this for a quote.

What you get

Paid out to your bank
Stripe Connect pays you directly. Not a balance we hold: your money lands in your account.
QR check-in at the door
Every ticket is a scannable QR. No printed list, no name-at-the-door bottleneck.
You keep your audience
Followers, your link, your posts. We are the checkout, not the middleman between you and your crowd.
Free and paid events
RSVP events cost nothing to run. Same check-in flow either way.
Refunds and cancellations
Cancel an event and every attendee is refunded automatically, with the notice sent for you.
Upgrade when it's worth it
Free is already cheaper than the alternatives — discounts, group offers and the door scanner are all included. $9.99/mo gets your buyers a lower fee and gets you paid 3 business days after the event instead of 5.
