Straight answers
Three lines we do not claim.
A card you can trust has to name what is missing from it. These three are true about Getvnt no matter which platform you are holding it against.
No marketplace
You bring the audience
Your public events can be listed on the Getvnt browse and search pages, but a listing is not a marketplace's built-in audience. What actually fills a room is your own schedule page, an embeddable calendar, a follower QR code, newsletters, and an interest list that emails people when tickets go on sale.
Seat maps are Enterprise
Ticket types, then seats
On Free and Pro a ticket type has a name, a price and a quantity, and buyers are not choosing a specific seat. A reserved-seating house needs Enterprise, where a venue schedule draws the room once and buyers pick their seats from the map.
One team member on Free
Extra members are Enterprise
The free plan is one person per schedule. Adding team members is on Enterprise and is capped at five on the hosted platform, so do not plan on inviting a whole staff for nothing.

How to switch in 4 steps
Nothing has to move on day one. The schedule is useful the moment it exists, and the events and the list follow at whatever pace suits you.
01
Create your schedule
Free, no card, and it has its own address the moment it exists. Nothing has to move before it is useful.
02
Bring the events across
Paste a listing or upload the flyer and the parser fills in the name, date, time, venue and description for you to check. Fifty a day on the free and Pro plans (ten during a Pro trial), a hundred on Enterprise.
03
Bring your list across
Export the addresses you already have and paste them in or upload a CSV, up to ten thousand rows, on any plan. What the newsletter allowance counts is sending to them, not holding them.
04
Connect Stripe or PayPal and sell
Your own Stripe or PayPal account, so the money settles into it rather than into ours. Zero platform fees on every plan, a ticket with a price on it is Pro, and refunds go back through the same account.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about switching from TicketLeap.
How does Getvnt pricing compare to TicketLeap?
TicketLeap has no subscription and charges $1 + 2% on each paid ticket, plus a 3% transaction fee per order, passed on to buyers or absorbed by you. Getvnt Pro is a flat 5 NGN/mo with zero platform fees, so you pay only Stripe's or PayPal's own processing.
When does the money from ticket sales reach me?
On Pro, paid tickets are charged through your own Stripe or PayPal account, so the money goes there as each order is placed and follows their normal payout schedule. TicketLeap pays organizers by direct deposit 4 to 6 business days after each event date, or weekly once approved for its FastPay advances.
Can I price tickets in my own currency?
Yes, on Pro. Payments go through your own Stripe or PayPal account, so you can price tickets in most of the currencies they support. TicketLeap sells in US, Canadian and Australian dollars.
Does Getvnt have reserved seating like TicketLeap?
Yes, on Enterprise. A venue schedule draws its room once, with sections, rows, tables, standing areas and wheelchair spaces, and buyers pick their seats from the map at checkout. TicketLeap includes its seating chart builder at no extra cost.
Can I put my events on my own website?
Yes. The embeddable calendar shows your upcoming events on any website, free, and each event links to its own page. On Pro, the ticket widget puts checkout on your site too. TicketLeap offers a Buy Tickets button that links to its own event page.
Is it easy to switch from TicketLeap?
Yes. Create a free schedule, paste your event details or upload a flyer and the AI parser fills in each event for you to check. Then connect Stripe or PayPal and move to Pro to sell paid tickets.
