> 
> **Pros**: Fantastic platform to get up and running for small to medium sized organisations and event planners
> 
> **Cons**: user management, access control features and API are sufficient but should be evaluated based on your orgs requirements

### "Do try trybooking, great value" — 5.0/5

> **Jennifer** | *28 August 2016* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The price is the lowest we've seen in the market.  The product has great capabilities to deliver more than we need too.  Knowing our money is here in Australia is also a plus.  Our bookers don't need to login to purchase or access their tickets, big plus.
> 
> **Cons**: There are a  few too many clicks on the booking process, but really this is minor and I believe this is being addressed soon with the recent update and newsletter.  So not a big one here.
> 
> We've used Trybooking for over 5 years now for our business and tried another recently but it was expensive and not well supported so we are back.   Why did we try it you may ask?  We'd seen others using this newer product but no one mentioned their heavy fees or lack of service and that they were an overseas company.  It had on the glitz but didn't delivery on what we needed.   So we are back with Trybooking and won't be trying another system again, it does all we need including interactive seating plans, registrations and simple fundraising events.  When you run things on a tight budget, the low fees of Trybooking are a bonus and I think they've been that price since we started, which is nice.      Our treasurer has commented that they prefer a local product and have never had to wait for our payments too.  So for those that need an easy cost effective system, you can't go past Trybooking.  Great product, great price and well supported.

### "I've tried a few this beats them all" — 5.0/5

> **Margot** | *17 February 2017* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Quick to understand. Easy to use.  Incredible Price for us and our patrons
> 
> **Cons**: I wish I had used it many years back but didn't know about it.
> 
> I've used now 2 big American systems here at our theatre. One was used a lot in the theatre space and we used it for over 6 years but it was hard to train on and clunky to use. We then moved to another where we were promised so much and it failed to deliver. We only lasted months with it.  So next move was local to TryBooking and amazing.  It delivers so much for the price.  My customers are sending us emails, they are enjoying how easy it is to use and that there is not high fees on the outside. We advertise a price and that's what they pay.
