Kintana vs Stager
Own your checkout globally — or stay on Europe’s all-in-one desk.
Stager is a strong all-in-one platform from the Netherlands — ticketing, CRM, email, and production planning in one system — especially for festivals, clubs, and venues across NL, BE, and DE. Kintana is for live events teams who want checkout, CRM, marketing sites, and email on their own domain with Stripe payouts, built for English-speaking markets worldwide. Stager fits teams who need staff rosters and show advancing in the same tool; Kintana fits comics, promoters, and venues who want performer routing and settlement without a Benelux-centric stack.
Often a fit if you are…
- Comedians and promoters touring outside NL/BE/DE who want Stripe checkout on their own domain
- Teams who need request-a-show and promoter settlement — not festival crew scheduling
- Venues building an owned list across multiple promoters without a single all-in-one vendor lock-in

Why teams switch
What changes after migration
Checkout on your domain, globally
Stager’s embeddable shop works well for Benelux venues — Kintana gives comics and promoters Stripe checkout on their own marketing domain, with workspaces that work the same in Sydney, London, or Toronto.
Built for performers and promoters
Request-a-show, tour demand, and promoter settlement views are first-class in Kintana. Stager excels at festival crew and advancing — different problems, different fit.
Mail and CRM without the production suite
If you do not need staff rosters and run sheets in the same tool, Kintana keeps ticketing, list, and campaigns in one desk without paying for planning modules you will not use.
