# Wix vs Ticket Fairy

With Wix, you design your site with hundreds of templates and sell tickets from it with Wix Events on a Premium plan that accepts payments. With Ticket Fairy, you sell on the Free plan, run your contracts, crew and suppliers beside your ticket sales, and you can keep your Wix site and put Ticket Fairy's checkout on it.

## Which should you choose?

### Where Ticket Fairy is stronger

- Ticket Fairy works with Wix: you can keep your Wix site and put the full Ticket Fairy checkout on any page with an Embed HTML element.[1](#source-1)
- The Free plan sells tickets for unlimited events, so you need no paid plan to start selling.[2](#source-2)

### Where Wix is stronger

Ticket Fairy is the better fit when your event is the business: you sell on the Free plan, your door, seat maps and payouts run from your orders, and you can still keep your Wix site. Wix suits you if your website is the center of a business that also runs some events, such as a studio or a shop with workshops.

## What does each cost when you sell 200 tickets at $40, one ticket per order?

Wix's figure adds its 2.5% ticket service fee and the Wix Payments card rate in the United States, and you also need a Premium plan that accepts payments. Ticket Fairy's ticketing fee includes card processing and VAT or GST, and the Free plan sells tickets with no monthly fee.

*### What does one order of 200 tickets at $40 cost on each platform?*
