- Each has a real cost: Guest Manager usage is metered in credits consumed by check ins, emails and badges, so cost scales with activity rather than with the subscription alone; Eventix eventix.io now serves only the notice that Eventix is now Weeztix; the Eventix pricing page carries no fees, plans or terms
- They diverge on capability: Guest Manager covers Registration, Eventix covers Custom ticket shops.
