Why societies choose us

Less admin. Better shows. Happier committees.

One login for everything

Members, tickets, finance, events, announcements and your public website — no more juggling spreadsheets and separate tools.

Built for volunteers

Clear roles for treasurer, box office and secretary. Hand over to the next committee without losing history.

Looks professional online

A modern public site with optional custom domain. Update pages visually — no web designer required on Pro.

Fair, transparent pricing

£0/month to host ticketed shows on Free — pay per paid ticket via Stripe, not a standing subscription. Pro unlocks the full toolkit for £19/month.

Pro plan · £19/month

Unlock everything when your society is ready to grow.

Start free with a 30-day Pro trial. When you upgrade, you get the full platform — professional website, custom domain, box office tools, and our lowest transaction fees.

Most societies upgrade once they start selling tickets online or want their own domain name.

Everything in Pro

  • Public website with your own custom domain
  • Visual website builder — no developer needed
  • Full box office: door lists, QR check-in & manual sales
  • Lower fees: 30p/ticket & 1% membership (vs 45p & 2.5% on Free)
  • Up to 300 members and unlimited shows
  • Finance reports, productions archive & priority support

Card payments still go through Stripe Connect. Our take-rate (from 30p per ticket on Pro) is on top of Stripe's standard processing fees — and only when we process the payment for you.

Ready to simplify committee life?

Create your society in minutes. No credit card required on the free plan — and every signup includes a 30-day Pro trial.
