Our verdict on Brushfire
Brushfire is an event ticketing and registration platform for churches, schools, attractions, conferences, performing arts organizations, sports groups, and other organizers. It supports in-person, virtual, and hybrid events through configurable registration forms, group and family registration, embedded sales pages, attendee communications, mobile check-in, reporting, and payment processing. Its ticketing options cover paid, free, assigned-seat, timed-entry, and general-admission events, making it a particularly strong fit for ticketed attractions and ministry events with varied registration needs.
Pricing is structured by event type. The Attractions / Education plan costs $0.75 per ticket, with no charge for free tickets; credit card processing fees apply. Churches and ministries under 1,500 weekly attendance pay $299 per month, with ticketing and registration included, while credit card processing fees also apply. Other Events cost $1.50 per ticket plus 1% per ticket, in addition to credit card processing fees. This structure can suit attractions with paid admission or organizations running free events, while the monthly ministry plan gives eligible organizations a predictable recurring price. There is no free plan.
The platform’s breadth extends beyond registration. Organizers can send attendee emails and automated confirmations, view real-time analytics, schedule reports, scan exhibitor leads, and support virtual or hybrid events with secure streaming access. Brushfire also provides REST API access, OAuth 2.0, webhooks, and connections to Square, Stripe, CRMs, email tools, CartStack, and Spot Refund Guarantee. Web, iOS, Android, and API support cover multiple access points, while the event app is a progressive web app offered as a premium add-on. Choose Brushfire when ticketing flexibility, check-in, communications, and event operations belong in one system; consider a broader general event platform if its industry-specific pricing or narrower positioning does not fit.
