Ticket Spot and Evey Events are two of the most popular ticketing apps on the Shopify App Store. Both let you sell event tickets through Shopify-but they take very different approaches to how deeply they integrate, how much they cost, and what tools they give you.
This guide breaks down the real differences so you can pick the right one for your store.
<!-- Suggested Image: Hero graphic showing Ticket Spot vs Evey Events logos side by side -->The Short Version
Ticket Spot is built for merchants who want a native Shopify booking experience with 0% platform fees, an interactive seating chart builder, a Ticket Selector App Block that replaces the Shopify variant selector, and deep integrations with tools like Klaviyo.
Evey Events is a solid ticketing app with good customization options and reliable check-in scanning. It works well for straightforward events but charges per-ticket fees on lower plans and lacks some of Ticket Spot's deeper Shopify integration features.
Pricing
Pricing is one of the biggest differences between these two apps.
Ticket Spot
- Free tier available ($0/month)
- Flat monthly plans with 0% platform fees
- No per-ticket charges on any plan
- All core features included
- Connect your own Stripe, PayPal, or Square
Evey Events
- Free Lite plan available
- Growth plan: $19/month
- Standard plan: $49/month
- Professional plan: $189/month
- Advanced features locked behind higher tiers
What This Means in Practice
With Ticket Spot, you pay a flat monthly fee and keep 100% of your ticket revenue. There are no surprise charges as your events scale.
With Evey, the cost depends on which features you need. Want advanced customization or multi-vendor tools? You're looking at the $49-$189/month tiers. Ticket Spot includes these capabilities without requiring premium plans.
Shopify Integration Depth
Both apps work with Shopify-but Ticket Spot integrates more deeply into the actual product page experience.
Ticket Spot: Ticket Selector App Block
Ticket Spot gives you a Ticket Selector App Block that you add directly to your Shopify product page. This replaces the default Shopify variant selector with a purpose-built ticket selection experience:
- Visual calendar picker
- Time slot grid
- Capacity indicators ("Only 5 spots left")
- Ticket type selection
- Quantity controls
- Mobile-first responsive design
Customers select their date, time, and tickets without leaving your product page. It feels like a native part of your Shopify store because it is.
Ticket Spot also provides a Thank-You Page App Block so customers can download their tickets immediately after checkout.
Evey Events: Widget Approach
Evey adds event functionality to your store but doesn't offer a product-page app block that replaces the variant selector. The booking experience sits alongside your Shopify page rather than replacing the default controls.
This means customers may still see standard Shopify dropdowns for event selection rather than a purpose-built calendar and time picker.

The Ticket Selector App Block is the most Shopify-native booking experience available. It makes events feel like a natural extension of your store.
Seating Charts
This is where Ticket Spot pulls significantly ahead.
Ticket Spot: Built-In Seating Chart Builder
Ticket Spot includes a full interactive seating chart builder inside the dashboard:
- Drag-and-drop seat map creator
- Support for theaters, stadiums, conference halls, wedding venues, outdoor amphitheaters, and more
- Assign ticket categories to seating sections
- Tiered pricing by section (VIP, Premium, General)
- Attendees select their exact seats during checkout
- Responsive on desktop and mobile
- Embed seating charts directly on Shopify product pages via the Ticket Selector App Block
You build the chart, assign it to an event, and customers pick their seats when they buy tickets. No third-party tools required.
Evey Events: Limited Seating Support
Evey offers some reserved seating capabilities, but it doesn't include a visual seat map builder. Setting up seated events requires more manual configuration and doesn't provide the same interactive seat-selection experience for customers.

If you run any kind of seated event-theater, concert, conference, wedding-Ticket Spot's seating chart builder is a major advantage.
Ticket Delivery
Both apps deliver tickets to attendees, but with different approaches.
Ticket Spot
- PDF tickets (fully branded, white-label)
- Apple Wallet passes
- QR codes for scanning
- Automated email delivery
- Automated event reminders
- Thank-You Page App Block for instant download
Evey Events
- PDF tickets
- Apple Wallet passes
- QR codes
- Email and SMS delivery
- Calendar invites
- Manual or automated delivery options
Winner: Tie
Both apps handle ticket delivery well. Evey offers SMS delivery and calendar invites as extras. Ticket Spot offers the Thank-You Page App Block for instant access.
Check-In & Scanning
Ticket Spot
- iOS and Android check-in app
- QR code scanning
- Real-time attendee tracking
- Works offline
Evey Events
- iOS and Android check-in apps

Marketing Integrations
Ticket Spot
- Klaviyo integration — Syncs attendees and ticket data automatically. Build abandoned cart flows, post-event campaigns, and segmented email lists based on event attendance
- Mailchimp sync
- Zapier for custom workflows
Evey Events
- Klaviyo integration (on higher plans)
- Mailchimp integration
- Built-in email and SMS messaging
Winner: Ticket Spot
Both connect to Klaviyo, but Ticket Spot's integration syncs attendee and ticket data automatically on all plans-no premium tier required. Combined with 0% fees, you get the full marketing stack without paying more.
Branding & White Label
Ticket Spot
- Full white-label branding
