Feature / Metric	KLAP.life Direct	Commission-based platforms
Annual fees	Flat, predictable monthly Premium fee, for example $190/month, plus a fixed KL Premium service cost capped at £1 per ticket and scalable by volume.	Often free or low-entry, but heavily skewed by per-ticket or per-cover costs.

White-label control	Total. The business can operate under its own identity without secondary marketplace ads.	Partial. The platform brand usually remains central to discovery and checkout.
Gateway availability	BYOG: Bring Your Own Gateway via Stripe or PayPal on Premium.	Often locked into the platform’s payment flow or processor.
Access control	Multi-access scanning, operator scan controls and on-site admission workflows connected to tickets, passes, memberships and reserved areas.	Often requires separate scanning tools, event-specific add-ons or disconnected door-management workflows.
