## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-08 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually rank them, depending on what kind of events you run:
> 
> **1. Eventbrite** - the default starting point, and the only one that brings its own audience. Its marketplace puts your event in front of buyers already browsing for something to do, which matters a lot if you don't have a mailing list yet. The tradeoff is the worst fees of the mainstream options: roughly 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket plus ~2.9% processing, so about $3.64 on a $50 ticket. Use it when discovery is worth more to you than margin.
> 
> **2. Ticket Tailor** - my pick for most independent organisers who already have their own audience. Flat fee per ticket (~$0.85 pay-as-you-sell, down to ~$0.30 on prepaid credits), free for most free events, 50% off for registered charities. Crucially, money lands directly in *your* Stripe/PayPal/Square account rather than being held and paid out later - a real cash-flow difference if you're paying deposits before the door.
> 
> **3. Humanitix** - the one I'd name for charities, schools, community and fundraising events. ~2.1% + $0.99, dropping to 1% + $0.99 for not-for-profits, and it donates its profits to charity, which is a genuinely good line to put on your event page.

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
