## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-24 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Event management software" means three fairly different products, so here's what I'd actually name, grouped by what you're doing - with my top pick first in each.
> 
> ## If you sell tickets to public events (classes, workshops, gigs, markets)
> 
> 1. **Ticket Tailor** - my default recommendation. Flat **$0.26/ticket** or plans from $19/mo, and **free events are free** (up to 5,000 tickets/year). No percentage cut, so it gets dramatically cheaper than Eventbrite as ticket prices rise: on a $100 ticket it's $0.26 vs. Eventbrite's ~$5.49. White-labels well too. ([comparison](https://www.ticketfairy.com/fr/event-ticketing/eventbrite-vs-ticket-tailor), [G2 pricing](https://www.g2.com/products/ticket-tailor/pricing))
> 2. **Eventbrite** - worth the premium for exactly one reason: discovery. If people find your events by browsing Eventbrite, the marketplace traffic can pay for the fees. Free for events up to 25 tickets, Flex at $9.99/event, Pro $29/mo, plus **3.7% + $1.79** service fee and ~2.9% processing. If you already have your own audience, you're paying for traffic you don't need. ([Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/reviews/Capterra___4981846/))
> 3. **TicketSpice** (~$0.
