Ticketing Platform Comparison
GuestlistOnline vs Weeztix
API-first festival and club ticketing with door hardware vs an invitation-led guest list and check-in platform.
Free up to 50 guests · Free plan: no credit card · Free events: no fees
Short answer
Weeztix, the platform formerly called Eventix and part of the Weezevent Group since March 2025, sells paid tickets at volume: no subscription, an open REST API with webhooks and Zapier, an offline scanner app, point of sale, badge printing and hardware rental, and an 11-language ticket shop. It does not publish a paid-ticket rate, the booking fee is quoted per country and volume, and Weeztix collects the ticket money and pays it out weekly or monthly. It also has no invitation and RSVP flow, no promoter commissions and two dashboard roles. GuestlistOnline publishes its fee (5% + €0.25 per paid ticket, processing included, nothing on free events), pays out through your own Stripe account, and is built around invitations, RSVP and the door.

An honest look at how the two platforms compare.
| Feature | GuestlistOnline | Weeztix |
|---|---|---|
| Costs & payouts | ||
| Fee per paid ticket | 5% + €0.25 per ticket in the ticket currency, payment processing included | Not published: the booking fee is quoted per country and volume through a calculator.

| Custom questions | Custom questions on the registration page, with the answers exported to CSV | Seven visitor question types with conditional logic and file upload, asked per order or per ticket |
| Promoter tracking | Promoter links with commissions and per-promoter reporting | Tracking links showing clicks, tickets and revenue, but no commission calculation; custom tracking is a paid extra |

From weeztix.com/pricing, fetched 17 Sep 2026. Weeztix publishes no rate for paid tickets, so there is no worked example on this page: the booking fee is quoted per country and volume, and a transaction fee is charged separately. A figure of €0.83 excl. VAT (about €1.00 incl. VAT) plus 1.8% is widely quoted, as reported, not on the pricing page. Weeztix's own help centre does show a real order: a €23.21 order on a €21.35 ticket leaves €21.67 for the organiser after €0.82 in service fees and €0.72 in transaction fees.
Key differences
What sets them apart
The details that matter when choosing between the two.
Where Weeztix wins: the API, the door and the volume
Weeztix is built for events that sell thousands of tickets. There is a REST API with OAuth, webhooks, Zapier and integrations from Mailchimp and MessageBird to TicketSwap and server-side Meta and Google tracking, an offline scanner app with a live monitor and multiple logins, point of sale and box office, badge printing, and scanners, equipment and staff you can rent for the weekend. GuestlistOnline has an offline PWA scanner and multiple scanner devices, but its API and webhooks sit on Enterprise, and it offers no point of sale, no badge printing and no seating at all.
Where GuestlistOnline wins: invitations, RSVP and the guest list
Weeztix has a Guestlist menu that issues free tickets and imports a CSV of orders, and rich visitor questions on the ticket, but no invitation and RSVP loop, no tags, no plus-one names, no approval step and no reminders are published. GuestlistOnline invites the list by email, collects yes and no with custom questions and plus-one names in your own wording, holds registrations for approval, and closes registration when the capacity is reached. For an invitation-led event that is the whole job, not an add-on around a ticket shop.
A published fee versus a quote
GuestlistOnline charges 5% + €0.25 per paid ticket in the ticket currency, payment processing included, and nothing at all on free events, you can work out your cost before you sign up. Weeztix quotes its booking fee per country and volume through a calculator and publishes no rate; the €0.83 excl. VAT plus 1.8% you will find quoted around the web is as reported, not on the pricing page, and a transaction fee comes on top. Where Weeztix is plainly generous is free tickets: the first 5,000 a year cost nothing, then €0.20 each, which beats almost anyone for a large free-entry event.
Who holds your money, and who else can reach the dashboard
Weeztix collects the ticket revenue and pays it out weekly on a Tuesday or Wednesday, monthly, or when a threshold is reached, and the dashboard has two roles: Company Manager and View Only. GuestlistOnline never touches the money, Stripe Connect pays it into your own account as the tickets sell, iDEAL included, and gives you 6 roles, up to 5 team members on Per Event and 50 on Pro, plus door-staff tokens that only open the scanner. Add promoter links with commissions, which Weeztix tracks but does not calculate, and the two platforms are answering different questions.
Fair is fair
When Weeztix is the better choice
If you sell paid tickets at volume and need an API, resale controls and hardware at the door, Weeztix is the stronger tool.
- Festivals, club series and tours selling thousands of paid tickets
- You need a REST API, webhooks, Zapier and server-side tracking
- Point of sale, badge printing or rented scanners and staff at the door
- A large free-entry event: the first 5,000 free tickets a year cost nothing
- You do not need invitations, RSVP, plus-ones or promoter commissions
Migration
Switching from Weeztix
Weeztix exports eight report types as XLSX or CSV. Take the visitor report, save it as CSV and import it into GuestlistOnline, mapping names, email addresses and any answer you want to keep.
- Visitor names and email addresses from the exported report
- Ticket type and order reference, mapped to a tag or a custom field
- Answers to visitor questions, mapped to custom questions on the registration page
- Check-in status, as the exported record of who arrived
- The payout arrangement: GuestlistOnline pays out through your own Stripe Connect account instead of collecting the money for you
- API and webhook integrations, Zapier scenarios and the TicketSwap resale setup
- Point of sale, badge printing and any rented scanners or door hardware
- Tracking links and their click history, and tickets already issued to buyers
Common questions
Frequently asked questions about GuestlistOnline vs Weeztix.
What does Weeztix charge per paid ticket?
Weeztix does not publish it. The pricing page asks you to request a quote through a calculator that works by country and volume, and a transaction fee is charged separately on top of the booking fee. The figure you will find quoted elsewhere, €0.83 excl. VAT, about €1.00 incl. VAT, plus 1.8%, is as reported, not on the pricing page, so treat it as an indication rather than your price. What Weeztix does publish is a worked order in its help centre: a €23.21 order on a €21.35 ticket leaves the organiser €21.67 after €0.82 in service fees and €0.72 in transaction fees. GuestlistOnline charges 5% + €0.25 per paid ticket in the ticket currency, payment processing included.
Which is cheaper for paid tickets, Weeztix or GuestlistOnline?
Honestly, nobody can say without your quote, and that is the point. If the reported rate held, about €1.00 incl. VAT plus 1.8% per ticket, as reported, not on the pricing page, then 200 tickets at €25 would be roughly €290 in booking fees, before the separate transaction fee, against €300 with GuestlistOnline, where 5% is €250 plus 200 × €0.25 is €50 and payment processing is already included. On cheap tickets a fixed euro hurts: on a €5 ticket that reported rate is around 20% of the price, where our 5% + €0.25 is €0.50. On expensive tickets the percentage is what hurts, and a negotiated Weeztix quote at volume may well beat us. Ask them for the quote and compare it against a published number.
Does Weeztix charge for free tickets?
Only past the first 5,000. Free events cost €0 and the first 5,000 free tickets in a year are fee-free; after that Weeztix charges €0.20 per free ticket, and tickets handed out from the Guestlist menu in the dashboard are not billed. That is generous, and for a large free-entry event it is hard to beat. GuestlistOnline charges no fees on free events at all, on every plan including the free one, the free plan covers 1 event and 50 guests with manual check-in, and QR check-in starts at €19.99 for a single event.
Can I run invitations, RSVP and promoter commissions in Weeztix?
Not as published. Weeztix issues free tickets from its Guestlist menu and asks rich visitor questions during checkout, but there is no invitation and RSVP flow, no approval step, no tags or plus-one names, and no built-in campaigns, you export addresses to Mailchimp or Brevo, or send SMS through MessageBird. Its waiting list is manual: you export the sign-ups and mail them yourself. Tracking links show clicks, tickets and revenue per link, but no commission is calculated. GuestlistOnline does invitations, RSVP with custom questions, plus-ones, approval, a capacity limit that closes registration, and promoter links with commissions and per-promoter reporting.
Can I move from Weeztix to GuestlistOnline?
Yes. Weeztix exports eight report types as XLSX or CSV; take the visitor report, save it as CSV and import it into GuestlistOnline, mapping names, email addresses and any visitor answers you want to keep as custom questions or tags. What does not travel is the payout arrangement, Weeztix collects the money and pays it out on a schedule, while GuestlistOnline pays straight into your own Stripe Connect account, along with API and webhook integrations, Zapier scenarios, TicketSwap resale, point of sale and badge printing, rented hardware, and tickets already in buyers' inboxes. Run one event on both before you move a season.
