Where ApexGo stands out
Built for more than nightlife
FIXR is excellent inside its niche of club nights and student events. ApexGo is built for the broader world of sports clubs, festivals, music venues and community events — matchdays, weekend passes, season tickets and venue calendars, not just door entry to a party.
Your brand and your audience
FIXR events surface inside the FIXR app and brand, which is part of how it drives discovery. ApexGo sells from your own domain and keeps your audience as yours — your mailing list, your data, your repeat customers.
Tickets plus the bar and the shop
ApexGo includes a full bar and event POS and a merch shop on the same platform as the tickets, so the night's drinks and merch revenue sit with the door takings. FIXR is a ticketing platform, not a till for your bar.
Memberships and season passes
ApexGo handles recurring memberships, season passes and member-only pricing — the tools clubs and venues use to build a loyal base across a whole season. That's outside FIXR's nightlife focus.
Transparent fees, free to start
ApexGo is free to start and charges 1% + 10p per ticket. Compare that against FIXR's current per-ticket booking fee for your prices and audience before deciding.
A nightlife app vs a white-label platform
FIXR and ApexGo both sell tickets, but they are built around different audiences. FIXR lives in nightlife and student events, where its consumer app and discovery feed help buyers find club nights and socials. For promoters in that world, being inside FIXR's network is a real advantage, and it does that job well.
ApexGo is a white-label platform for clubs, festivals and venues. It sells from your own domain under your own brand, and it goes well beyond door entry — running the bar, the merch shop, season passes and memberships in one place. The choice comes down to whether you want to plug into a nightlife discovery app or build your own branded operation.
In fairness to FIXR
If your events are club nights, student socials or nightlife parties, FIXR is purpose-built for exactly that. Its app puts events in front of the right crowd, its promoter and rep tools fit how that scene sells tickets, and the buying experience is familiar to its audience. For that niche, plugging into FIXR's network can genuinely shift ticket sales.
ApexGo isn't trying to be a nightlife discovery app. It's for organisers whose problem is running their own branded events end to end — gate, bar, shop and memberships — rather than getting discovered inside someone else's feed.
What you get by moving to ApexGo
Organisers move from FIXR to ApexGo when their events outgrow the nightlife template — when they're running festivals, matchdays, venue seasons or community events, and they want their own brand front and centre rather than a third-party app. They want lower, clearer fees, the bar and merch in the same system, and memberships to build a base that comes back.
ApexGo is free to start, charges 1% + 10p per paid ticket, and bundles the bar POS, merch shop, season passes and memberships into one platform, with paid plans at £49/mo and £99/mo and no contracts. You can run a real event for nothing and compare it directly against FIXR before committing.
Frequently asked questions
Is ApexGo a direct alternative to FIXR?
For organisers, yes — both let you sell tickets online and scan people in. The difference is focus: FIXR is built around nightlife and student events with a consumer discovery app, while ApexGo is a white-label platform for clubs, festivals and venues that also runs the bar, merch and memberships.
Will I lose FIXR's discovery audience on ApexGo?
FIXR's app can help club-night buyers discover events, which genuinely suits promoters in that scene. ApexGo is built for organisers who already have an audience — supporters, members, a local following — and want to sell to them directly from their own branded site rather than through a discovery feed.
Does FIXR have a bar POS or merch shop?
FIXR is focused on ticketing rather than on-site retail, so it doesn't provide a bar till or merch shop in the way ApexGo does. With ApexGo the same system sells tickets, pours drinks and sells merch.
How do the fees compare?
ApexGo is free to start and charges 1% + 10p per paid ticket, with free tickets free. FIXR is free to organisers and instead adds a buyer booking fee — on its published Pro pricing that's around 4.99% + 49p (+VAT) per ticket, with lower rates for student and charity events. Either way the buyer usually pays the fee, so model both against your real ticket prices; on most tickets ApexGo's 1% + 10p is the smaller add-on.
Is ApexGo good for festivals and sports clubs specifically?
Yes — those are core audiences. ApexGo handles multi-day and weekend festival passes, camping add-ons, wristbands and on-site bars, as well as matchday tickets, season passes and club microsites for sports clubs. These sit outside FIXR's nightlife focus.
Who is FIXR better for?
If you run club nights, student socials or nightlife events and value being inside FIXR's discovery app and promoter network, FIXR is a strong, purpose-built choice. ApexGo is the better fit when you want your own brand, lower and clearer fees, and the bar, merch and memberships in one platform.
