What you give up
RegFox's model has one genuine advantage over flat-rate subscriptions.
No monthly commitment
RegFox has no monthly fee. You only pay when you collect money from registrants. If you run one event every 18 months, or if your events are unpredictable, the per-registration model means you pay nothing during quiet periods. CompleteEvent charges monthly regardless of whether you have an active event. For truly infrequent events — say, one per year with fewer than 100 paid registrations — RegFox may cost less in total.
Webconnex platform ecosystem
RegFox is part of the Webconnex family (which also includes TicketSpice and GivingFuel). If your organization already uses other Webconnex products, staying in that ecosystem may simplify your workflow. CompleteEvent does not integrate with Webconnex products.
Established nonprofit user base
RegFox has been used by nonprofits and community organizations for years. There is more third-party documentation and peer recommendations from that community than for CompleteEvent, which is newer.
Who switches from RegFox to CompleteEvent
Nonprofits running regular events
Organizations with monthly or quarterly events quickly find per-registration fees exceed a flat subscription. At $15.20/mo (with discount) and no per-registrant charge, CompleteEvent saves money for nonprofits running events consistently.
Community organizations scaling up
A community group that started with 30-attendee events may now run events with 150–300 registrations. At that scale, $0.99 + 1% per registrant adds up faster than a monthly subscription.
Organizations that need session features
RegFox handles registration well but has no session scheduling, abstract submission, or speaker management. Organizations that have grown into multi-track events or conferences need a different platform.
PTA and school organizations
School groups running fundraisers, galas, and auctions multiple times per year pay per-registration fees on each event. A flat subscription with donation and auction features covers the whole year.

Frequently asked questions
At what point does CompleteEvent save money vs. RegFox?↓
RegFox charges approximately $0.99 + 1% per paid registrant, capped around $4.99 per registrant. On a $40 ticket that works out to roughly $1.39 per registration. CompleteEvent Starter is $19/mo ($15.20/mo with the nonprofit discount). You break even at about 11–14 paid registrations per month. If you run one event per year with more than ~150 paid registrations total, switching to CompleteEvent Starter saves money that year.
Does CompleteEvent have a free plan like RegFox's no-monthly-fee model?↓
Yes. CompleteEvent's free plan covers events up to 100 attendees with no monthly charge. For free events (no ticket price), neither platform charges per-registration fees — so for small free events the comparison is mostly about features. For paid events, RegFox's per-registration model costs nothing until you collect money, which makes it genuinely useful for very occasional or unpredictable events.
Does CompleteEvent charge per-registration fees?↓
No. On any paid plan (Starter or Pro), there are no per-registration fees from CompleteEvent. Stripe's standard processing fee (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) applies to paid registrations, but that fee applies on both platforms — it is not a CompleteEvent fee.
What is the nonprofit discount?↓
Nonprofits (501(c)(3) and equivalent), trade associations (501(c)(6)), and accredited educational institutions receive 20% off all paid plans. Starter becomes $15.20/mo and Pro becomes $39.20/mo. You self-certify at checkout — no paperwork or approval required.
Does CompleteEvent support session scheduling and abstract submission?↓
Yes. CompleteEvent Pro includes multi-track session scheduling, abstract and CFP submission, peer review with scoring, speaker portals, and CPE certificates of attendance. RegFox is a registration-only platform — it does not have session or conference management features.
Is RegFox ever the better choice?↓
Yes. If you run one or two events per year with small registration counts (under 50 paid registrations total), RegFox's no-monthly-fee model means you pay nothing between events. CompleteEvent charges monthly regardless of whether you have an active event. For very infrequent, small-scale events where you want to avoid any fixed cost, RegFox's per-registrant pricing can be cheaper.
