How we review
- Fees first, from source — every rate is fetched from the platform's own pages where possible, tiered by verifiability and dated.
- Computed, not copied — worked examples at real price points, VAT grossed up, minimums applied.
- Both columns filled — every platform's file includes where it earns its keep, not just where it costs you.
- Disclosed — this site is built by Tickts Ltd; the methodology exists so you don't have to trust us.
Questions people ask
How often are these reviews updated?
The dataset was last reviewed 2026-07-26; each platform's file shows its own verification date. Fees change — the date is on every figure so you know how fresh it is.
Are these reviews independent?
They're transparent rather than independent: Tickts Ltd builds this site and its zero-fee platform appears in the tables. Every competitor figure is sourced from or checked against the platform's own materials so the numbers stand on their own.
Which platform should I actually pick?
Start from your audience source and ticket price: own audience → zero/flat-fee rails; platform-discovered audience → the marketplace your scene actually browses. The best-platform ranking works through it.
