Ticket Fairy publishes this comparison and also sells event ticketing and event management software. [How we compare platforms](https://www.ticketfairy.com/compare/methodology)

- **8 of 8** of the things you need, included on Ticket Fairy
- **4 of 8** of the things you need, confirmed on the published pages of Liveforce
- **$5.50** Ticket Fairy fee on a $55 ticket

## Which should you choose?

### Where Ticket Fairy is stronger

- You can build your rota, fill open shifts, recruit volunteers, approve hours and check staff in.[1](#source-1)
- You can add up to 500 shifts to your rota from a CSV or Excel spreadsheet; Fai matches the columns and you check every row first.[2](#source-2)
- Your door team can scan accreditation passes with the same app as tickets.[3](#source-3)

### Where Liveforce is stronger

- Crew must be within a set distance of the job location to check in from the Crew App.[4](#source-4)
- Right to Work, licenses and essential documents are kept against each crew member.[5](#source-5)
- Admins can message crew one-to-one or broadcast by email, SMS, push or in-app chat.[6](#source-6)

Ticket Fairy is the better fit when your crew rota should sit with your accreditation passes, run of show and ticket sales for the same event. Liveforce suits you if you run a staffing agency or a large freelance workforce and want right-to-work documents, GPS check-in and crew messages by email, SMS, push and chat.

Liveforce does not publish a fee for each ticket, so you see Ticket Fairy's fees worked out and how Liveforce prices. You can enter your ticket price and the number of tickets you expect to sell.
