Plans, pricing, and credits

How does Guest Manager pricing work? The plans (On Demand, Planner, Professional, Concierge), what each includes, the per-ticket fee on paid tickets, and where credits fit in.

Guest Manager pricing has two parts: a monthly plan fee that unlocks features and a monthly credit allowance, and a usage charge that depends on whether each ticket is paid or free. Paid tickets incur a per-ticket fee; free tickets draw from credits.

Plans

There are four plans. Higher plans lower the per-ticket fee, raise the included credits, and allow more check-in devices.

Plan Monthly Credits / month Check-in devices Per ticket sold
On Demand $0 0 2 $1.00
Planner $49 300 4 $1.00
Professional $99 800 8 $0.75
Concierge $249 2,000 Unlimited $0.50

On Demand is free — you pay only the per-ticket fee on paid tickets and for any credit packages you buy. Prices above are in USD; see guestmanager.com/pricing for other currencies.

Every paid ticket sold incurs a per-ticket fee set by your plan — $1.00 on On Demand and Planner, $0.75 on Professional, $0.50 on Concierge. This fee covers issuing the ticket and checking the attendee in. No credits are consumed for paid tickets.

Free tickets: credits

Free ($0) tickets — RSVPs, comps, or any ticket priced at zero — draw from your credit balance instead of the per-ticket fee. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance, and you can buy more at any time. Credits do not expire and roll over month to month. For what consumes credits and what happens when the balance runs low, see Credits and free tickets. To top up, see Buying credits.

Annual billing

Annual plans are billed upfront and deliver the full year’s credit allowance at once — a year of Professional grants 9,600 credits (12 × 800) on day one. Annual pricing per plan is lower than 12 monthly payments; see the pricing page.

FAQ

Do I need a paid plan to sell tickets?

No. The free On Demand plan lets you sell paid tickets — you pay the per-ticket fee on each one. Upgrading lowers that fee and unlocks more credits, devices, and features.

Is the check-in app billed separately?

No. The iOS check-in app is included. The per-ticket fee (for paid tickets) and credits (for free tickets) cover check-in.

Are there nonprofit discounts?

No nonprofit plans are available.

Can I downgrade after a busy season?

Yes. You can move down to a lower plan — including free On Demand — between events. Credits you already hold remain on your balance.
