Chobble Tickets vs BookitBee

BookitBee is a UK-based ticketing platform - here's how it compares to Chobble Tickets.

Pricing

BookitBee charges per ticket sold - typically around 5-6% plus a fixed fee per ticket, and for high-volume events those fees add up quickly.

Chobble Tickets charges a flat £50/year (£25 for charities) with no per-ticket fees or percentage cuts, which works out significantly cheaper for most event organisers.

Open Source vs Proprietary

BookitBee is a proprietary platform, so you can't see how your data is handled, you can't self-host, and if the company changes direction you're stuck.

Chobble Tickets is open source under AGPLv3, so you can inspect every line of code, self-host if you want, and you're never locked in.

When BookitBee Might Be Better

BookitBee has been around longer and has a more polished marketing presence. If you need phone support or a well-established brand name on your tickets, BookitBee may be the better fit, whereas Chobble Tickets is newer and more DIY-friendly.
