TidyHQ vs Humanitix
These aren't really competitors. Humanitix is an event ticketing platform — it sells tickets to the public. TidyHQ is a club management platform that includes event tools alongside memberships, finances, and governance. Humanitix has a great social mission (booking fees fund children's charities) and polished public event pages. But it doesn't manage members, track renewals, record meeting minutes, or sync with Xero. If your events are for your members, TidyHQ handles that. If you're selling 500 tickets to a public concert, Humanitix is fine for that job.
Where TidyHQ wins
Everything beyond selling a ticket. Membership management with renewal tracking and payment history. Financial reporting with Xero sync across all club income — not just events. Governance tools: meeting minutes, committee tasks, 25 GB document storage. Member communications via email and SMS. Event ticketing that connects to your membership database so financial members automatically get member pricing. A free plan with unlimited contacts. The entire club management layer that Humanitix was never built to handle.
Where Humanitix wins
Humanitix is built for public-facing event ticketing and the social mission is genuine — booking fees fund education for children in need. Their event discovery pages get real traffic. The attendee checkout is polished. For selling tickets to the general public, it does that job well.
Best for
Clubs and associations that run events for their members — where you need member-only pricing, membership tracking, financial reporting, and governance in one place. If your events are member events, TidyHQ covers the whole picture. Humanitix is a ticketing tool, not a club management platform.

Key differences
Your members aren't just ticket buyers
Humanitix sells tickets. TidyHQ knows who's a financial member, when they joined, what they've paid, and when they're due for renewal. If your events are for your membership, you need that context — member-only pricing, member-only events, attendance history tied to membership records.
Member pricing happens automatically
Offer different ticket prices for financial members vs non-members without manual workarounds. Humanitix can't do this because it doesn't have a membership database. TidyHQ connects the two so your members see their price at checkout.
The admin doesn't stop at events
Your club also holds AGMs, tracks finances, assigns committee tasks, and stores documents. TidyHQ covers all of that alongside event ticketing. Humanitix covers events beautifully — but only events.
What Humanitix does well
Humanitix is built for public-facing event ticketing and the social mission is genuine — booking fees fund education for children in need. Their event discovery pages get real traffic. The attendee checkout is polished. For selling tickets to the general public, it does that job well.
We think honest comparisons build more trust than pretending competitors don’t exist. Try both and see which one your committee actually uses.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about using Humanitix vs TidyHQ for membership organisations.
No. Humanitix is an event ticketing platform — it sells tickets to the public and donates booking fees to children's charities. It has no membership management, no renewal tracking, no financial reporting, no Xero integration, and no governance tools. If you need to run a club, not just sell tickets, TidyHQ covers memberships, events, finances, and governance in one platform with a free plan.
Humanitix has no membership management features at all. It doesn't track who's a financial member, when renewals are due, or payment history over time. TidyHQ tracks all of that — including automated renewal reminders, membership tiers, and digital membership cards on Pro.
Humanitix is free for free events. For paid events, booking fees are passed to attendees (typically 2%–5% depending on ticket price) and fund children's charities. TidyHQ's free plan includes unlimited contacts, event ticketing, and full club management features. TidyHQ Pro is $890 AUD/year flat — covering memberships, events, finances, and governance with no per-ticket fees.
No. Humanitix has no native Xero integration. If your club treasurer needs event income reconciled alongside membership fees, you'll need to export and manually enter data. TidyHQ syncs all income — memberships, events, and other revenue — directly to Xero.
Humanitix doesn't have a membership database, so there's no way to automatically offer member-only pricing or restrict events to financial members. You'd need to manage discount codes manually. TidyHQ connects your membership database to event ticketing so financial members automatically see their pricing at checkout.
