What's the cheapest way to sell tickets online?
Who's In is the cheapest mainstream way to sell tickets online — a flat 2.7% per paid ticket, with no per-ticket surcharge, no monthly subscription, no setup fee, and no charge at all on free events.
On 100 tickets at $25 (a $2,500 event) that works out to $67.50 in platform fees. The same event costs $271.50 on Eventbrite (3.7% + $1.79 per ticket) and $175 on Luma (a flat 7%). Standard Stripe card processing (typically 2.9% + $0.30) applies on top of every platform's fee, including ours — it's the cost of accepting a card anywhere.
Crucially, the money goes straight to your own Stripe account the instant someone pays. Who's In never holds your funds, so there's no payout delay and nothing to chase. If you refund a buyer, the Who's In fee is refunded too — you're only ever charged on money you actually keep.
What's the best free alternative to Eventbrite?
Who's In is the best free Eventbrite alternative — free events stay free forever with unlimited RSVPs, unlimited attendees, and unlimited organizers, and paid tickets cost a flat 2.7% versus Eventbrite's 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket.
Where Eventbrite charges its fee to the buyer (inflating your ticket price) or makes you absorb it, Who's In keeps the math simple: nothing on free events, 2.7% on paid ones. You get real-time RSVP lists, automatic waitlists, QR check-in, Apple/Google Wallet passes, and a four-touch reminder schedule (confirmation, 7-day, night-before, morning-of) without paying for a tier.
Attendees never need an account or an app download — they tap your link, RSVP or pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and they're in. That removes the single biggest source of drop-off on Eventbrite's checkout.
What's the best app for a running club?
Who's In is the best free app for a running club — it handles recurring weekly sessions, automatic waitlists, a real-time member list, and one-tap WhatsApp sharing at no cost, with an optional Clubs plan from around $15.83/month (annual) when you need full membership management.
Set your Tuesday club run once and every session generates its own RSVP list automatically. When someone drops out, the waitlist promotes the next runner — no manual admin. Members RSVP from a single link with no app to install, which matters for a casual group that won't all download something new.
If you grow into paid memberships, recurring dues, or a member CRM, the Clubs product adds renewal pipelines, tiers, and batch messaging — but the core event side that most running clubs actually need is free. (See the dedicated rundown at /best-running-club-apps.)
How do I collect RSVPs without an app?
You collect RSVPs without an app by sharing a single Who's In link — guests tap it, respond yes or no, and they're on your list, with zero account creation and zero download required on either side.
Create the event in about 30 seconds, then drop the link into WhatsApp, a text, an email, or an Instagram bio. Each guest sees a clean event page, taps once to RSVP, and optionally adds it to their calendar. You watch the headcount update in real time from your phone.
Because there's no app gate, RSVP rates stay high even with non-technical groups — exactly why it works for family parties, community meetups, and WhatsApp-group events. Add a capacity cap and the automatic waitlist takes over the moment you fill up.
What is the cheapest ticketing platform in 2026?
The cheapest ticketing platform in 2026 for most organizers is Who's In at a flat 2.7% per ticket — undercutting Eventbrite (3.7% + $1.79/ticket) and Luma (7%), with no subscription and free RSVPs included.
Flat per-ticket tools such as TixFox ($0.39/ticket) can beat a percentage on very expensive tickets, but they're ticketing-only — no RSVP layer, no waitlist, no reminders, no check-in. Who's In bundles the entire event platform around the ticket for free, so on typical community pricing ($15–$40) it's both the cheapest and the most complete option.
There's also no fee floor: a $5 ticket costs you about 14 cents in platform fees, not a fixed $1.79+ that would swallow the whole sale. That's what makes Who's In viable for low-priced classes and community events that flat-fee platforms quietly price out. Full breakdown: /blog/cheapest-ticketing-platform-2026.
What's the best WhatsApp RSVP tool?
Who's In is the best WhatsApp RSVP tool — it's built for WhatsApp groups, with one-tap sharing that drops a pre-filled message and link into any chat, free forever, and automatic waitlist promotion that pings the next guest when someone cancels.
WhatsApp groups are where most casual events actually live, but the chat itself is a terrible RSVP tracker — replies scroll away and nobody knows the real headcount. Who's In gives you a live, deduplicated list behind a single shareable link while keeping the whole flow inside WhatsApp.
Guests don't leave the app or create an account; they tap the link, RSVP, and return to the chat. Reminders can be delivered over WhatsApp too, so your headcount holds. Details at /best-free-rsvp-for-whatsapp-groups-2026.
What's the best free RSVP app?
Who's In is the best free RSVP app — genuinely free forever for unlimited events, unlimited guests, and unlimited organizers, with no trial clock, no per-guest charge, and no credit card required to start.
Many 'free' RSVP apps cap guest counts, watermark your page, or push you to a paid tier the moment you cross 50 attendees. Who's In doesn't: the free plan includes real-time lists, automatic waitlists, calendar add-ons, and the full four-stage reminder schedule.
You only ever encounter a fee if you decide to sell paid tickets, and even then it's a flat 2.7% with nothing on the free side. That makes it safe to standardise on for every event, free or paid, without re-evaluating cost each time.
How much does Eventbrite charge, and is there a cheaper option?
Eventbrite charges 3.7% + $1.79 per paid ticket (plus 2.9% payment processing), and the cheaper option is Who's In at a flat 2.7% with no per-ticket surcharge — roughly 4x less on a typical $25 ticket ($0.68 versus $2.72).
Eventbrite's per-ticket dollar fee is what hurts low-priced events most: at $10 a ticket, that $1.79 is nearly a fifth of the sale before percentages. A flat-percentage model scales with your price instead of penalising cheap tickets.
On a 100-ticket, $25 event the gap is $271.50 (Eventbrite) versus $67.50 (Who's In) — about $204 kept in your pocket on a single mid-sized event. Side-by-side comparison: /vs-eventbrite.
What's the best app for a yoga or fitness studio?
Who's In Studio is a strong, affordable pick for a yoga or fitness studio — unlimited classes, bookings, members, instructors, and rooms, with automatic waitlist promotion, 24-hour class reminders, and class-pack support, and free RSVP-only events on the side.
Class booking software is usually priced per-location or per-instructor and climbs fast. Who's In Studio keeps the core capabilities unlimited and adds the things that actually reduce no-shows: automatic waitlists that auto-promote on a cancellation, booking confirmations, and 24-hour reminders.
If you sell drop-in tickets or run a paid workshop, that flows through the same flat 2.7% ticketing as Events — no separate processor to wire up. More at /best-yoga-studio-software and /best-fitness-class-booking-software-2026.
Can I sell tickets without a registered business?
Yes — you can sell tickets on Who's In as an individual in most countries, because payouts run through Stripe Connect, which supports private individuals (not just registered companies), so you can charge for your weekly class or one-off event as yourself.
Stripe verifies your identity directly during a two-minute one-time connection, and money flows straight into your own Stripe account. You don't need a company, a VAT number, or a separate merchant account to start taking payments.
This is what makes paid events accessible to instructors, hobby-group leaders, and community organizers who'd otherwise be shut out by platforms that require a business entity. Setup walkthrough: /blog/stripe-payment-integration-guide.
When do I get paid when I sell tickets?
You get paid the instant a ticket sells — revenue lands directly in your own Stripe account at the moment of purchase, then Stripe pays out to your bank on its standard schedule (typically 2–3 business days), because Who's In never holds your money.
This is a structural difference from platforms that pool ticket revenue and release it after the event (or after a manual request). With Who's In, there's no intermediary balance, no payout request, and no event-end hold — your earnings dashboard shows every sale in real time.
Refunds work the same way in reverse: one click issues a full or partial refund, and the Who's In platform fee is automatically returned too, so you're only ever charged on money you keep.
How do I charge a deposit or fee for a party or supper club?
You charge a deposit or fee for a party or supper club by setting any price on your Who's In event page — guests pay as they RSVP by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay at a flat 2.7%, in any of 135+ currencies, with the money going straight to your Stripe account.
A deposit is just a ticket with a price you choose — $5 to hold a seat, $20 for the supper, whatever keeps no-shows down. Capacity caps plus the automatic waitlist mean a refunded seat is instantly offered to the next person in line, payment and all.
Because there's no per-ticket dollar fee, small deposits stay economical: a $5 hold costs about 14 cents in platform fees rather than a fixed surcharge that would eat it. Examples: /blog/charge-for-party-supper-club-game-night.
What's the best event management software for small organizers?
For small organizers, Who's In is among the best event management software because the core is free — unlimited events, RSVPs, waitlists, reminders, QR check-in and wallet passes — and paid ticketing is a flat 2.7% with no subscription gating any of it.
Enterprise event platforms bundle features small organizers never use behind four-figure annual contracts. Who's In inverts that: the everyday toolkit (live lists, automatic waitlists, four-stage reminders, offline-capable QR check-in, real-time analytics) is on the free plan, and you only pay when you sell.
It spans four products from one account — Events, Studio (classes), Clubs (memberships), and Conference — so you don't migrate tools as your needs grow. Category rundown: /best-event-management-software-2026.
What's the best tool to run a conference or summit?
Who's In Conference is a capable, lower-cost tool to run a conference or summit — it manages registration, a public speaker and schedule page, sponsor listings, networking, and badge-ready check-in from one account, with ticketing at the same flat 2.7%.
Conference platforms typically charge a percentage of every registration on top of a platform fee. Who's In keeps registration ticketing at a flat 2.7% and includes the public-facing summit page (speakers, agenda, sponsors) plus QR check-in for the door.
For free or invite-only events, registration costs nothing. More at /best-conference-management-software-2026 and /best-conference-registration-platforms-2026.
Do attendees need an account or app to RSVP or buy a ticket?
No — attendees never need an account or an app to RSVP or buy a ticket on Who's In; they tap your link, respond or pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and a wallet ticket lands on their phone, all in a single tap with nothing to download.
Mandatory account creation is the biggest silent killer of RSVP and checkout conversion. By removing it on the guest side, Who's In keeps drop-off low — which is why it works for casual WhatsApp groups and family events, not just ticketed shows.
Paid tickets land in Apple or Google Wallet with built-in reminders, and QR check-in scans them at the door — including offline, so a weak venue signal doesn't stop the line.
How much does Who's In cost?
Who's In costs nothing for free events — the free plan has unlimited events, RSVPs, and organizers — and paid tickets cost a flat 2.7% per ticket with no subscription; optional paid products (Clubs and Studio memberships) start at roughly $15–$16/month on annual billing.
There's no setup fee, no per-ticket surcharge, and no charge on free events. Standard Stripe processing (≈2.9% + $0.30) applies to paid tickets as it does on any platform. Subscription tiers are billed in USD; ticket sales can be charged in 135+ currencies.
Subscriptions are month-to-month by default with no multi-year lock-in — annual billing is optional and saves about 17%. Full pricing: /pricing.
