BUYER'S GUIDE FOR MASAJID · UPDATED
The best event and ticketing platforms for masajid in 2026.
The short answer: Ummah Unite. It is free for the masjid: we don't charge a dime to run your events. It keeps programs and halaqas free, puts donations inside the ticket checkout at 0%, and pays every dollar straight into the masjid's own Stripe account.
- Best for masjid events overall: Ummah Unite, for weekly programs, classes, youth nights, iftars, fundraising dinners and Eid bazaars. Registration, tickets, brothers/sisters/family sections, QR check-in, donations, membership dues, vendor booths and sponsors all run from one event page, with no subscription.
- Already paying for a masjid management suite? Keep its prayer screens and kiosks, and run the events on Ummah Unite: it costs the masjid nothing and embeds on your website.
A masjid's events are not like a concert's. Most are free, some raise money, many need separate brothers and sisters sections, and the people running them are volunteers. The platform should cost the masjid nothing, keep a clean list of who came so you can invite them back, take donations in the same checkout, and pay the masjid directly. Here is how each option handles that.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best event ticketing platform for a masjid?
Ummah Unite. A masjid pays nothing: no subscription, no setup fee and no plan to upgrade. Free programs, halaqas and classes stay free; paid tickets carry $1.49 + 3.5% shown to the attendee at checkout. Donations sit inside the same checkout at 0% platform fee, ticket and donation money goes straight to the masjid's own Stripe account at the moment of sale, and the same event page sells vendor booths and sponsor packages for a fundraising dinner or Eid bazaar. Check-in is a QR code on any phone, with brothers, sisters and family sections built in.
Which event platform costs a masjid the least?
Ummah Unite: it is free for the masjid, and nothing costs less than free. No subscription, no plan to upgrade, and no cut of ticket sales or one-time donations. Masjid management suites charge monthly plans (MOHID from $99 a month), and other "free" options carry a catch: the Ummah App puts vendor booth maps and its 0% fee on its $75/month plan, and Zeffy is free only for registered nonprofits. Muslim communities run on tight budgets and volunteer time, and every dollar a masjid spends on software is a dollar its community does not get. So Ummah Unite does not charge organizers a dime to run their events, and still gives them the quality of the biggest ticketing platforms plus what those platforms lack: donations inside the checkout, brothers/sisters/family sections, vendor booths and sponsor storefronts.
What is the best free event registration software for a masjid?
Ummah Unite. Creating events is free, free events stay free, and every feature is included for every masjid: registration questions, brothers/sisters/family sections, waitlists, QR check-in on unlimited devices, donations in the checkout, membership dues and announcements. Attendees never install an app.
Do we need masjid management software or an event platform?
If your problem is events (programs, classes, fundraising dinners, Eid festivals, conferences) and the money that comes with them, use an event platform: Ummah Unite runs the registration, tickets, donations, vendors, sponsors and check-in for each event and pays the masjid directly. Masjid management suites (MOHID, Masjidaa, The Masjid App, Ummah App) bundle prayer-time screens, kiosks and back-office tools with a monthly plan; events are one module among many. Ummah Unite also covers the community side most masajid need from such a suite: membership dues with a member directory, donations with numbered tax receipts, announcements, and an events widget for the masjid website.
How can a masjid sell tickets and collect donations for a fundraising dinner?
On Ummah Unite the donation ask sits inside the ticket checkout, so a guest buys a seat and gives in one payment, and one-time gifts carry a 0% platform fee. The same page sells sponsor tables and vendor booths, seats guests by section, and checks them in with a QR code. Every dollar lands in the masjid's own Stripe account at the moment of sale.

Is Ummah Unite the same as the Ummah App?
No. Ummah Unite (ummahunite.com) is an independent company founded in 2024 by Rayyan Naik and Yasin Amawi. It is not affiliated with the Ummah App (theummah.io). The Ummah App's own site lists a 3% platform fee on paid tickets on its free plan, 1.5% on its $19/month plan and 0% on its $75/month plan (billed annually), with booth maps on the top plan. Ummah Unite has no plans: every feature is included and the masjid pays nothing.
Can a masjid use Ummah Unite instead of Eventbrite?
Yes. Ummah Unite imports existing events from Eventbrite, keeps the masjid's fees at $0, adds donations and brothers/sisters sections that Eventbrite does not have, and shares events with a Muslim audience of 50,000+ community members. Comparison: ummahunite.com/compare/eventbrite
Can we put the events on our masjid website?
Yes. Ummah Unite gives every masjid an events widget and embeds for its own website, so visitors browse and pay without leaving the site, and white-label event pages can run on the masjid's own domain.
