Zero Fees, Not Just
Donated Fees
Humanitix is doing great work donating booking fees to charity. But if you run free community events — yoga classes, hiking groups, meetups — you shouldn't be paying any fees at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Humanitix
Is Who's In free where Humanitix isn't?▼
For free community events, yes. Humanitix's model donates booking fees to charity rather than keeping them as profit — which is admirable. But fees still apply to events. Who's In charges absolutely nothing for free community events.
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 free community events, recurring meetups, and when you want WhatsApp-native sharing and automatic waitlists at no cost.
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. Who's In is used globally, including a strong community in Australia. The platform supports AUD through Stripe, and WhatsApp sharing works seamlessly with Australian phone numbers.
