How to choose
If you want to know what you'll pay before you sell, rule out the ones that don't publish a price or ask for their offer in writing. If getting paid straight away matters to you, check whether the money goes into your own terminal or the platform's, and when it pays out. And if the buyer is going to pay a booking fee, check how much: it's what they see at checkout.
For a race, ask when you get the money: some platforms pay out after the event and charge to advance it. Also check whether the bib is assigned automatically on payment, whether someone who doesn't pay uses up a number and whether the list comes out ready for your timekeeper.
Where the data comes from
For each platform we look at three things you can check: the published price (and who pays it), where the money from each ticket goes and what it's best at. If you spot something out of date, write to us and we'll fix it.
