A Box Office Is Not An Event Platform.
Ticket Tailor sells tickets and does it politely. But conferences need session tickets, seat holds, badge printing, per-ticket registration forms and white-label branding, and that is where the box office ends and the add-on menu begins. Here is the full feature picture.
Facts checked 11 June 2026 against Ticket Tailor's live pricing page.
The Thirty-second Version
One of us is a box office. The other one runs the whole event.
Choose eventcloud if...
- ✓ You run events, not just ticket sales: session tickets, seat holds, badge printing on any printer you own, QR check-in with staff PINs.
- ✓ You want different questions per ticket type. Speakers, sponsors, VIPs and attendees each get their own registration form.
- ✓ You want white-label and your own domain included, not metered out as monthly add-ons.
- ✓ Your success should not be a billing event. Unlimited tickets and registrations are the standard, so a sell-out costs the same as a quiet Tuesday.
- ✓ You budget in one line item, with no usage meters, credit top-ups or add-on subscriptions to monitor.
In fairness to Ticket Tailor...
- → Small, simple events are well served. A few hundred tickets, no badges, no sessions? A box office is all you need, and theirs is a polite one.
- → Their payout model is the correct design. Revenue goes straight to your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account, same as ours. Neither of us holds your money.
- → The B Corp credentials are real, and free events under 5,000 tickets a year cost nothing.
- → But it ends at the box office. Sessions, seat holds, badge printing and full white-label live outside the toolkit, or on the add-on menu.

What Do Your Next 1,000 Tickets Cost?
On a usage-metered platform, every ticket sold is a billing event. On eventcloud, unlimited is the standard.
Sell ten tickets or ten thousand; the subscription does not move. Growth is the point, not a penalty.
Every additional 1,000 tickets is another £220 prepaid or £600 pay-as-you-sell, before add-ons.
Both platforms publish their numbers; run your own. Ours stop moving the day you subscribe, which is the entire idea. Their white-label (£39/month), custom domain (£7/month) and CRM integrations bill separately per their own help centre.
