## Which should you choose?

### Where Ticket Fairy is stronger

- Every plan has one standard ticketing fee, and you choose whether buyers pay it on top of your price or you absorb it. On a paid plan you can add your own ticketing fee on top of Ticket Fairy's, a percentage and a fixed amount in each currency, and you keep your own fee. Ticket Fairy's ticketing fee stays Ticket Fairy's and, after payment processing, counts towards your plan bill. Where fees show on top of the price, the whole ticketing fee is capped at twice the standard fee. In the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Ireland and Mexico, where the law asks for one all-in price, the fees are included in your ticket price.[1](#source-1)
- Payouts can arrive daily as tickets sell when you connect your own Stripe or Xendit account, where your country supports it, and money Ticket Fairy processes is paid after the event.[1](#source-1)
- Buyers can pay for bigger tickets with a deposit now and installments later.[2](#source-2)
