KonfHub was built for developer conferences and it shows in the good way — the pricing is per event, the tooling assumes a programme, and the fee is lower than ours. Here is the comparison without the spin.
KonfHub's published plans run Lite 2% + 18% GST, Silver 3.75% + 18% GST inclusive of gateway charges, read from konfhub.com/pricing on 12 September 2026. Their Silver rate of 3.75% plus 18% GST is about 4.43% all in, and it already includes payment gateway charges. MintLink is 8.26% all in. On fee alone, they win, and by close to four points.
Freemium is 0% for free tickets, which matches us — free events cost nothing on either platform.
KonfHub's plans carry Per-event attendee caps from 100 to 2,500, then ₹10 per extra attendee. A plan is bought per event rather than per month, so a series of small events means buying a plan each time, and an event that overshoots its tier pays per head on the way past. MintLink has no attendee cap, no per-event plan and no overage: none.

| Speaker and agenda management | No | Yes — it is conference software |
| Memberships and class packs | Yes, with credits and freeze days | No |

The difference is not ticketing quality, it is scope. A MintLink account is a creator storefront: the same login sells digital downloads, merch, services and memberships, with one payout and one set of buyers. Tickets are a section of that, not the product.
The organiser we are built for runs a workshop every month for forty people, sells a recording of it afterwards, and has a class pack for regulars. Buying a per-event conference plan twelve times a year is the wrong shape for that, and a conference platform has nowhere to put the recording or the class pack.
