Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Humanitix

When should I use Humanitix instead of Who's In▼
Use Humanitix when: you're running a paid fundraising event, you want booking fees to benefit a specific charity, or you need dedicated fundraising features. Use Who's In for recurring meetups and community events where you want WhatsApp-native sharing, 'Maybe' RSVPs and a flat 2.7% on paid tickets.
Does Who's In support paid events?▼
Yes. Who's In supports Stripe-powered paid ticketing at 2.7% flat fee (no per-ticket surcharge). Perfect for yoga classes with a small fee, workshops, or paid community dinners.
Can I use Who's In for charity fundraising events?▼
Who's In supports paid ticketing through Stripe, but doesn't have built-in charity donation features or the social impact reporting that Humanitix specializes in. For events where the charitable aspect is central, Humanitix is the better choice.
Does Who's In have automatic waitlists?▼
Yes, and it's completely free. When your event fills up, additional RSVPs join a numbered waitlist. When someone cancels, the next person is automatically promoted and notified immediately — no manual work from you.
Does Who's In work well in Australia?▼
Yes. Paid tickets can be priced in AUD through Stripe, and WhatsApp sharing works seamlessly with Australian phone numbers. Against Humanitix's Australian booking fee of 4% + A$0.99 per paid ticket, Who's In's flat 2.7% is lower at every ticket price.
