What sets them apart
The details that matter when choosing between the two.
Guest management vs ticketing
GuestlistOnline is built around guest list management: RSVPs, custom fields, grouping, promoter tracking, and check-in. Ticket Tailor is built around ticket sales with a clean, low-fee checkout. Different starting points for different event types.
Flat per-ticket fee vs percentage-based
Ticket Tailor charges a flat fee per ticket (£0.22–£0.60) regardless of ticket price — great for expensive tickets. GuestlistOnline charges €0.25 + 5% per ticket, which is better for low-price or free events but adds up on high-value tickets.
Seating charts and Tap to Pay: Ticket Tailor's strengths
Ticket Tailor offers reserved seating with customisable seating charts and in-person Tap to Pay — features GuestlistOnline doesn't have. If your event needs assigned seating or at-door card payments, Ticket Tailor has the edge.
Promoter tools and gift fund: GuestlistOnline's strengths
GuestlistOnline includes promoter tracking with commission management, artist guest allocations, and a gift fund for weddings — none of which Ticket Tailor offers. If you manage promoter teams or run weddings, GuestlistOnline fills those gaps.
