eventcloud vs Humanitix

Ticketing with a Mission. Or Registration Built for Conferences.

Humanitix does something genuinely lovely: its booking-fee profits fund charity. eventcloud is built for conferences: a form per attendee type, session booking, badges printed at a self-service Badge Kiosk and check-in on any phone, with revenue settling in your own Stripe account. Competitor facts checked 26 June 2026 against Humanitix's published US fees.

At a Glance

A Good Cause There. A Conference Toolkit Here.

Humanitix is a not-for-profit, and its fees do good. eventcloud is a commercial platform that takes 0% of your ticket revenue and builds the conference around the ticket. Both are honest choices, for different events.

eventcloud Counts

Team seats

Events, registrations and attendees are never counted, and we take 0% of your ticket revenue.

Humanitix Counts

Every paid ticket

Humanitix's 5% + $1.29 on 1,000 tickets, about $6,290 in booking fees (passed to buyers by default, and the profit funds charity).

Humanitix passes its fee to buyers by default, so attendees usually absorb it, and that fee does good. The comparison is about the model: a percentage scales with sales; a seat count does not.

The Badge Kiosk

Visitors Print Their Own Badges.

Humanitix has no native badge printing. eventcloud's Badge Kiosk runs on a laptop beside a printer: visitors find their badge, check it and print it, and printing checks them in.

  • Find by ticket number: or by name or email, if you switch that on
  • A check before printing: each visitor sees their own badge and confirms it is them
  • Fix a typo: visitors correct their name or printed details, if you allow it
  • No print dialog: Edge, Chrome or Firefox in kiosk mode on Windows prints straight away

Fair Questions

Humanitix vs eventcloud, Answered.

How is Humanitix different?

It is a registered not-for-profit whose booking-fee profits fund charity, and its fee is passed to buyers by default. eventcloud takes 0% of your ticket revenue, settles it straight into your own Stripe account, and adds conference-grade registration, badges and check-in. Stripe's own card fee still applies.

Does Humanitix print event badges?

No native badge designer or on-site badge printing; Humanitix focuses on ticketing with a free check-in app. eventcloud includes a badge designer: print any attendee's badge from the dashboard, or let a self-service badge kiosk print each one as people arrive.

Is eventcloud a good fit for charity and fundraising events?

Yes, for galas, conferences and fundraisers with named guests. Each guest type gets its own form, price and confirmation email, badges print from the dashboard or at a self-service kiosk, and check-in runs on any phone. Registered charities can also apply for free seats through our charities and schools programme.

Does Humanitix hold my ticket money?

By default, yes, on its own payment gateway, funds are paid out within about five business days after your event ends. You can instead connect your own Stripe account to be paid directly as you sell. eventcloud always settles to your own Stripe on Stripe’s normal schedule.

How do Humanitix's fees compare?

Humanitix's 5% + $1.29 per paid ticket adds up as you sell, while eventcloud counts team seats, not tickets, and takes 0% of your ticket revenue. Humanitix passes its fee to buyers by default and donates the profit to charity, so cost is not the whole story. Running a free or community event? Registered charities, state schools and religious non-profits can apply for eventcloud free for life, for up to 3 users, through our charities and schools programme.
