Understanding Humanitix's charity model
Humanitix is a registered not-for-profit that donates 100% of its profits to charitable causes, primarily education programs for disadvantaged youth in Australia and New Zealand. It's a legitimate and meaningful social enterprise. If your event audience cares about the brand story, it can be a genuine differentiator.
What's important to understand: the charity donation is separate from the booking fee. Humanitix charges 4% plus A$0.99 per ticket, plus GST, added to the buyer by default, so the organiser keeps 100% of face value. The donation comes from Humanitix's profits after operating costs. The charity model is a genuine plus; it just isn't the same thing as a lower fee.
Humanitix charges a 4% + $0.99/ticket booking fee plus GST, added to the buyer by default. From that revenue it funds its operations and donates the profit. The organiser keeps 100% of face value either way; the difference is where Humanitix's profit goes. For events where the charity angle resonates (school events, fundraisers, community organisations), it can be a genuine selling point to attendees.
Fee comparison
For organisers, Tickify and Humanitix actually work the same way by default: the booking fee is added to the ticket buyer, and the organiser receives 100% of face value. The differences are what the buyer pays, how you get your attendee list, and whether you earn on resale.
On Tickify, the 5% fee is always paid by the ticket buyer. The organiser receives the full face value of every ticket sold, with no deductions from organiser revenue, ever.
On Humanitix, the 4% + A$0.99/ticket (plus GST) fee is added to the buyer by default too, so the organiser also keeps 100% of face value (organisers can choose to absorb it instead). What differs is the fee a buyer feels: a flat 5% on Tickify versus 4% + A$0.99 on Humanitix.
Example: 200 tickets at $60 each
On a 200-ticket event at $60, the organiser nets the same $12,000 on both platforms, because the buyer pays the fee either way. The buyer pays slightly less on Tickify ($63.00 vs $63.73), and the organiser also keeps their attendee data and earns on resale, which Humanitix does not offer.

When to use each platform
Tickify and Humanitix genuinely suit different use cases. There's no one-size answer here.

- You want to control how tickets resell and earn a royalty from secondary sales
- You want your full attendee list any time, including if you leave.
- You've grown past Humanitix's fee structure and want a cleaner cost model
Humanitix suits you when
- You run charity events, fundraisers, or school events where the charity brand matters
- Your attendees will appreciate the "your booking fee goes to charity" message
- You want to accept donations alongside ticket purchases natively
- You run community or not-for-profit events where Humanitix's identity aligns with yours
- You want to leverage Humanitix's event discovery for community-focused events
Humanitix's charity model is real and genuine. If your audience cares about it, that's a legitimate reason to use the platform. The brand association has value for certain events. On organiser payout the two are level, since both give you 100% of face value by default; where Tickify pulls ahead for commercial music events is owning your attendee data, resale royalties, dynamic-QR anti-fraud, and a flat 5% buyer fee.
