Keep the Big Event Energy. Lose the Per-ticket Fees.
Eventbrite takes 3.7% + $1.79 of every paid ticket, then 2.9% on top to process the payment. Eventcloud charges one flat subscription and takes exactly 0% of your revenue. Here is the whole picture, including what Eventbrite still does better.

The Honest Verdict
Both platforms are good at very different jobs. Thirty seconds of honesty before the big table.
Choose eventcloud if...
- ✓ You sell serious volumes: conferences, trade shows, corporate events. The bigger you grow, the harder a flat fee wins.
- ✓ You want your money now, not after the event. Revenue lands in your own Stripe account on Stripe’s normal schedule.
- ✓ You need conference kit: badge design and printing, QR check-in, custom registration forms per ticket type.
- ✓ You want your brand on the whole journey, including your own domain, not a page in Eventbrite orange.
Choose Eventbrite if...
- → You rely on marketplace discovery. Roughly 90 million people browse Eventbrite monthly, and that can genuinely sell tickets for you.
- → You run small consumer events where built-in social reach matters more than white-label polish.
- → You host free events and want zero platform cost with no subscription at all.

One Conference, Two Invoices
A 1,000-person conference at $100 a ticket.
One user for a full year. Unlimited events, unlimited tickets, revenue straight to your Stripe.
Service fees on that single event: 3.7% of $100,000 plus $1.79 on each of 1,000 tickets. Before the 2.9% processing.
Card processing exists on both sides (Stripe’s standard rate with us, 2.9% per order with Eventbrite), so we left it out of both numbers. Eventbrite rates from their US pricing page. Sell more tickets and the left number stays put; that is rather the whole pitch.
