When to choose Boletia

Boletia can make sense if:

  • You want to appear in the Boletia marketplace and take advantage of its buyer base.
  • You are selling a large-scale public event where being discoverable within the ticketing platform matters.
  • You prefer a third party to handle the collection and disburse the payment to you, even if it is after the event.
  • You do not need to control the checkout brand or the buyer's details.
  • Your sale is a one-time event, not a recurring transaction.

When to choose MaunaOne

MaunaOne may make more sense if:

  • You want the money to go straight into your account from day one, without waiting for post-event payout.
  • You sell from WhatsApp, Instagram, the web, or ads with your own brand, not from a marketplace.
  • You need to collect deposits or partial payments instead of the full ticket.
  • You have recurring activities with multiple dates and capacities, not just a single event.
  • You want lower commissions and clear, transparent billing rules.
  • You want to install your pixel to track and retarget your buyers when running ads.
  • You want discounts, codes, private groups, and controlled reselling all in a single panel.
