Rates shown are publicly published online list rates as of May 2026; actual costs vary by region, volume, plan, and provider terms. Verify current rates and features with each provider before purchasing. Defaults ($40K at 400 orders) are an example — adjust the inputs above to match your own volume.
¹Eventbrite Essentials service fee; payment processing (2.9% + $0.30) is additional and typically passed to buyer. ⁴Standard rolling payout schedule. Same-day or instant payout available on most card processors for an extra fee (typically 1–1.75% of the amount). AxeFee runs on Zelle bank-to-bank — money lands the moment your customer sends, with no payout fee, ever. ⁵Optional, per-form opt-in. At floor pricing, sponsors pay $2.00 per order (1 Elite slot at $1.00 + 5 Local Support slots at $0.20 each). You keep 50% — $1.00/order to you, $1.00 to AxeFee. At 400 orders/mo, your share is 400 × $1 = $400. So at $40K/mo your net = $29 subscription − $400 sponsorship = −$371 (revenue). Elite-tier auctions can push the sponsor floor higher; sponsors are billed after orders are tallied, never up front. More on sponsorship →

From the founder

Built by someone who's lived this problem.

I'm Pritom Dey — I built AxeFee after years of helping non-profits and community organizations run events, collect donations, and reconcile payments. I've served as Publicity Director at the Hamilton Naturalists Club, and helped automate registration, ticketing, and Zelle reconciliation for Bandhan Cultural Association and GAPA.

Watching volunteers spend entire evenings matching Zelle notifications to attendee lists — and watching organizations write off 3–4% of every ticket to Eventbrite, PayPal, or Stripe — I realized small teams were paying twice: once in processing fees, once in unpaid volunteer hours. AxeFee is the tool I wish those teams had: free for non-profits, no per-transaction percentage, reconciliation that just happens.

If you run an event, a small business, or a community fundraiser — I'd love to hear what you're working on. · LinkedIn ↗

Pritom is exactly the kind of community-minded technologist that nonprofit organizations need.
