## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-05 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks
> 
> **1. Eventbrite** - the default for most small businesses running public, ticketed events (workshops, classes, pop-ups, fundraisers). Free for free events, and its marketplace actually drives discovery traffic, which no other tool on this list does. The catch is fees: aggregators list them around 3.7% + $1.79/ticket on the entry tier, but the numbers vary by source and country - check Eventbrite's own pricing page before you commit.

> 
> **2. Ticket Tailor** - switch to this the moment you're selling mid-to-high-priced tickets and bringing your own audience. It charges a flat ~$0.26/ticket instead of a percentage, so on a $100 ticket you keep roughly $5 more per sale than with Eventbrite. No marketplace discovery, which is the whole tradeoff. ([comparison](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event-ticketing/eventbrite-vs-ticket-tailor))
> 
> **3. Whova** - the one I'd name for a small conference or multi-session event: attendee app, agenda, networking, check-in. Pricing is quote-only, so expect a sales call. ([G2](https:/
