The short version

  • Only Guest Manager has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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; Ticketkantoor only accepts European payment methods (iDEAL and internet banking), limiting international organizers
