Kintana vs LIVE IT
Start selling on your domain today — or scale complex ops with a specialist team.
LIVE IT is an enterprise-grade ticketing platform trusted by thousands of events across 60+ countries — with reserved seating, box office software, payment plans, white-label options, and hands-on support from a specialist team. Kintana is for comedians, promoters, and venues who want to start free, run checkout and CRM on their own domain, and grow without a demo-led onboarding process. Both use Stripe for payouts; the fit depends on whether you need festival-scale complexity or a fast, owned stack for touring live events.
Often a fit if you are…
- Comedians and indie promoters who want to launch on-sales without booking a platform demo
- Teams building an owned email list and marketing site — not only a LIVE IT checkout flow
- Acts touring globally who need performer routing and promoter settlement in one desk

Why teams switch
What changes after migration
Launch without the enterprise sales cycle
LIVE IT pairs a powerful platform with specialist support — great for complex venues. Kintana lets comics and promoters sign up, publish a site, and run an on-sale the same week.
Built for performers and promoters
Request-a-show, tour demand, and promoter settlement views are first-class in Kintana. LIVE IT excels at high-volume festivals, attractions, and reserved seating — different scale, different fit.
Site + checkout + mail in one desk
Block-based pages, Stripe checkout on your domain, and email campaigns share one workspace — without stacking marketing integrations on top of a ticketing backend.
