Highlights
The four things most communities start with.
Create & share
Build the page and the events, then put them in front of people.
Sell & earn
Get paid for tickets, memberships, donations and sponsorships.
Manage & grow
Run the door, ask the right questions and see what works.
Free to start. Pay only when you sell.
On paid tickets and memberships we take 5%, plus Stripe's card fee (about 3%). Attendees pay it at checkout by default, so you keep 100% of your ticket price. Free events are always free.

Monthly-billing prices from each company's own site, checked 13 October 2026, in US dollars and converted to your currency at approximate rates. Patreon takes 10% of income rather than a monthly fee, so it isn't in the total. Card processing fees apply on every platform and aren't included.

What would I pay?
More than a ticketing tool.
Other platforms help you sell tickets or list events. Tribe runs the whole community: events, memberships, members and growth.

Is Tribe free to use?
Yes. There is no monthly fee and no setup cost. Creating a community, publishing events and running free events is free. Fees only apply when you sell paid tickets or memberships.
What are the fees on paid tickets and memberships?
Tribe takes 5%, and Stripe charges its card processing, typically about 3%. Fees are added at checkout by default, so attendees pay them and you keep your full ticket price.
Can I pay the fees instead of my attendees?
Yes. You choose this yourself in Settings → Payments. When you cover the fees, attendees pay exactly the ticket price.
How do I get paid?
Connect a Stripe account when you set up payments. Money is paid out to your bank through Stripe.
