How we calculate this
Standard US online rates, checked October 13, 2026. We round each ticket’s fee to cents, then multiply by tickets sold. This compares ticketing fees, not the full cost of checkout. Custom and nonprofit rates may differ.
Percentage more = (provider’s ticketing fees − Mezaj’s ticketing fees) ÷ Mezaj’s ticketing fees × 100, rounded to the nearest whole percent.
Humanitix’s US pricing page separates ticketing (2.1% + $0.99) from processing (2.9% + $0.30). Its help center lists a combined 5% + $1.29 booking fee. We use the separately listed ticketing rate here so processing is excluded for all three.
Your events help fund music.
33% of Mezaj’s ticketing fees support artist-curated projects around the world.

A few practical questions
Is the ticketing fee the full cost?
No. The $0.69 + 1% USD rate is Mezaj’s platform fee. Payment processing is additional. See the fee breakdown for currencies and processing details.
Can I use Mezaj on my existing website?
Yes. Use calendar and event widgets, or build a custom integration with the API.
Can I choose the fee my guests pay?
Yes. You set the ticket price and any additional checkout fee. That choice is separate from Mezaj’s platform fee and payment processing. Read how ticket prices and fees work.
What needs help from the Mezaj team?
Contact the team for reserved-seating setup and API access. Tap to Pay and card-reader payments also require compatible equipment and a connected Stripe account. Ask about your setup.
Can you help with promotion or email workflows?
Marketing services are available separately. For tailored email workflows, ask about availability for your account. Talk to the team about scope and pricing.
What about memberships and venue booking?
Memberships help you build a recurring relationship with your community. Versus, built by Mezaj, handles venue booking and settlement operations.
