Why HotWay may be a smarter choice than Tixly

1. Approach to Setup and Installation 

Tixly: Designed for large organisations such as theatres, philharmonics and concert halls. Implementation requires training, technical integration and often full deployment on the client side. It is a powerful system, but not suitable for quick launches. 

HotWay: Also suitable for large events. It is a cloud service that requires no installation or local hosting. A user can sign up, create an event and start scanning. 

2. Complexity vs. Simplicity

Tixly: Offers a very extensive feature set: dynamic pricing, seat management, e-commerce integrations, and CRM. Powerful, but suited to institutions with an internal IT department or ticketing specialists. 

HotWay: Focuses on one thing – access control. QR codes, guest lists, scanner tickets, roles and reports. The ideal choice for those who want to launch in a single day, without contracts or staff training.

3. Working with Teams

Tixly: Access management is linked to an administrative system and requires internal configuration. Inviting temporary staff or volunteers is not always convenient.

HotWay: Anyone with an email address can be assigned as an admin. Roles are flexible and can be assigned per event in seconds.

4. Cost and Accessibility

Tixly: Operates on a licensing and deployment model. Costs vary depending on organisation size, integrations and additional functions. The entry threshold is high, especially for small teams or independent organisers. 

HotWay: Offers a free plan for 14 days – up to 3 events, 300 tickets, and 5 team members( admins). Ideal for those who want to test our event planning and management system before commiting.
