TL;DR - Why Switch from Townscript to WebMobi?

Townscript charges 1.99% + ₹10 per ticket on every sale. For a 500-ticket event at ₹1,000/ticket, you lose ₹14,950 in commissions. WebMobi takes 0% of your ticket revenue, on every plan, permanently. Free to start, then $19–$99/month. A single event can be bought on its own, $49–$999 per event.

WebMobi takes 0%. WebMobi does not process ticket payments: a paid event sells on the ticketing provider you already use, which charges its own fee.

Bottom Line: For event organizers running paid events in India, WebMobi takes 0% of your ticket revenue while adding professional features Townscript doesn't offer.

Why Event Organizers Are Switching from Townscript to WebMobi

Problem 1: Hidden Commission Fees Eat Your Revenue

Townscript's Model:

  • Appears "free" but charges 1.99% + ₹10 per ticket on every sale
  • Your costs increase as your events grow
  • No way to predict annual expenses

Real Cost Example:

Event: 500 tickets × ₹1,000 = ₹5,00,000 revenue

Townscript Commission:
- 1.99% of ₹5,00,000 = ₹9,950
- ₹10 × 500 tickets = ₹5,000
- Total Commission: ₹14,950 (3% of revenue)

WebMobi:
- ₹0 commission (0%)
- Ticket payments: taken by the ticketing provider you already use, at its own fee

Problem 2: Commission Model Punishes Success

The Townscript Trap: The more successful your events become, the more you pay. Growing from ₹5L to ₹50L in annual revenue means paying ₹1,49,500 in commissions instead of ₹14,950.

WebMobi's Flat-Rate Advantage:

  • Run 1 event or 100 events → the subscription doesn't move: $19–$99/month
  • Sell 100 tickets or 10,000 tickets → we still take 0%
  • Predictable budgeting, no surprises

Problem 3: No Professional Features Despite Taking Your Money

Townscript takes 1.99% + ₹10/ticket but doesn't provide:

  • ❌ AI event creation (manual setup takes hours)
  • ❌ Offline mobile apps (venue WiFi fails = disaster)
  • ❌ Certificate generation (need separate tool)
  • ❌ White-labeling (Townscript branding everywhere)
  • ❌ Sponsor/exhibitor lead capture tools
  • ❌ Advanced reporting & analytics

WebMobi Includes All of This:

Free to start, then $19–$99/month. A single event can be bought on its own, $49–$999 per event. A paid subscription includes:

  • ✅ AI event creation with Gemini 2.0 (5-10 minutes vs hours)
  • ✅ AI conflict detection across sessions
  • ✅ AI email co-pilot for attendee communication
  • ✅ Full sponsor & exhibitor suite with lead capture
  • ✅ Certificate generation & automated delivery
  • ✅ Container mobile app (iOS + Android)
  • ✅ 100% offline mode for check-ins
  • ✅ Paid events link to the ticketing or payment page you already use (WebMobi takes no payments)
  • ✅ Custom registration forms
  • ✅ QR code check-in (works offline)
  • ✅ Attendance tracking & reporting

Problem 4: Limited International Reach

Townscript Limitations:

  • Primarily India-focused
  • Limited multi-currency support
  • Payment gateway options vary by location
  • Not ideal for global/hybrid events

WebMobi Global + India Strength:

  • Paid tickets: WebMobi does not take ticket payments. Paste the link of the ticketing or payment page you already use, and the event button sends people there
  • Host hybrid events with attendees from India + abroad
  • Data residency (India, EU, US…) for enterprise deployments, set up to your requirements
  • Regional pricing: India (₹), US ($), UK (£), Canada (CAD), Australia (AUD)

Problem 5: No Offline Mode = Venue WiFi Disaster

The Townscript Risk: Townscript requires constant internet connection. If your venue WiFi fails (common in India), you cannot:

  • Check in attendees
  • Scan QR codes
  • Access attendee lists
  • Process on-site registrations

Real Story:

"Our conference venue in Pune had terrible WiFi despite promises. Townscript app was completely unusable. 600 attendees waiting in line, we had to manually check everyone in with printed lists. Absolute chaos." — Amit Patel, Corporate Events Manager, Mumbai

WebMobi's Offline Solution:

  • Native iOS/Android apps work 100% offline
  • Check in attendees without WiFi
  • Scan QR codes offline
  • Access full attendee database locally
  • Data syncs automatically when connection restored
  • Perfect for venues with poor connectivity

Pricing: WebMobi India

Free to start, then $19–$99/month. A single event can be bought on its own, $49–$999 per event.

The subscription plans are Free, Creator, Starter, Growth and Professional. Free publishes one AI-built event website with no card; the paid plans add the agents running daily, your own domain, branding removal (read-only order sync from your ticket provider is in development).

Conferences, summits and expos are bought as a Pro Event rather than a bigger subscription: Professional Event at ₹82,999 per event adds delegate registration, badge printing, staffed check-in desks, exhibitors, sponsors and lead retrieval, and Enterprise Event at ₹1,65,999 per event adds branded iOS and Android apps, SSO and SCIM, a DPA and a signed SLA. A single event uses the whole platform, nothing renews afterwards, and its participants add to any plan you already hold.

WebMobi takes 0%. WebMobi does not process ticket payments: a paid event sells on the ticketing provider you already use, which charges its own fee.

vs Townscript Free: Townscript "free" still charges 1.99% + ₹10/ticket on paid events. WebMobi's free plan is truly free with zero commissions — and so is every paid plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does WebMobi actually cost?

Free to start, then $19–$99/month. A single event can be bought on its own, $49–$999 per event.

Conferences are the second product line, not a bigger subscription: $49–$999 per event. A single event uses the whole platform, nothing renews afterwards, and its participants add to any plan you already hold.

Whichever you are on, WebMobi takes 0% of your ticket revenue, on every plan, permanently. Townscript's 1.99% + ₹10 comes off every ticket you sell, on top of payment gateway fees.

2. How do attendees pay for tickets?

On the ticketing or payment page you already use. WebMobi does not take ticket payments and does not connect to any payment gateway. For a paid event you paste the link of your ticketing or payment page, and the event button sends people there.

Registration on WebMobi itself is free, and WebMobi takes 0% of ticket revenue because it never handles the money. To check ticket buyers in, import the buyer list from your ticketing provider.

3. Is the mobile app really 100% offline? We have terrible venue WiFi.

Yes, truly 100% offline. This is a game-changer for Indian venues:

What works offline:

  • ✅ Check in attendees (QR code scanning)
  • ✅ Access full attendee list
  • ✅ Search attendees by name
  • ✅ View event schedule
  • ✅ View speaker/session details
  • ✅ Record attendance
  • ✅ On-site registrations

How it works:

  1. Download event data when you have WiFi (hotel, office)
  2. Go to venue (no WiFi needed)
  3. Check in 500 attendees offline
  4. When you get WiFi again, data syncs automatically

Tested in: Bangalore conference centers, Mumbai hotels, Delhi outdoor venues, Pune tech parks

4. Can I remove WebMobi branding like I can't with Townscript?

Yes — branding removal is on every paid plan.

Townscript never allows you to remove their branding, even if you pay commissions.

Every paid WebMobi plan includes:

  • ✅ Remove all WebMobi logos
  • ✅ Custom domain (yourcompany.com)
  • ✅ White-label emails (from your domain)
  • ✅ Your branding everywhere

White-label websites for several brands or clients are on the Professional plan. For fully branded mobile apps (App Store/Play Store), add an Enterprise Event — ₹1,65,999 per event. A single event uses the whole platform, nothing renews afterwards, and its participants add to any plan you already hold.

5. Do I need to pay extra for certificates?

No, certificates are included on every paid plan.

WebMobi includes:

  • ✅ AI-powered certificate generation
  • ✅ Unlimited custom templates (always editable)
  • ✅ Bulk delivery via email
  • ✅ Digital signatures
  • ✅ PDF download for attendees
  • ✅ Blockchain verification (optional)

On Townscript you would pay its commission and then buy a certificate tool such as CertifyMe or Certifier.io separately.

6. What's the catch? Why is WebMobi so much cheaper?

No catch. Just a different business model:

Townscript's Model:

  • "Free" platform + take 1.99% + ₹10 per ticket forever
  • Earns more as you grow (revenue share)
  • Unpredictable costs for customers

WebMobi's Model:

  • Transparent flat pricing — Free, $19–$99/month, or $49–$999 per event
  • Zero commission (we make money from subscriptions, not your tickets)
  • Predictable costs, you keep 100% of revenue

Why we're cheaper:

  1. No commission means the platform cost doesn't move when your revenue does
  2. AI reduces our operational costs (we pass savings to you)
  3. Global platform (India + US + UK) = economies of scale
  4. VC-backed (we're growing market share, not maximizing profit yet)

7. Can I try WebMobi risk-free?

Yes:

  1. ✅ A free plan with no time limit - No credit card
  2. ✅ Refunds - refund requests within 7 days of your first paid subscription are reviewed under our refund policy
  3. ✅ No long-term contracts - Cancel anytime

You can run 2-3 events on WebMobi, compare to Townscript, and decide. If it isn't right for you, stay on the free plan or cancel before renewal.
