The answer, as recorded
Here's who I'd actually point you to, roughly in the order I'd consider them: **1. Ticket Tailor - the default for most paid events.** Flat ~$0.85 per ticket (down to ~$0.30 on prepaid credits) plus your own Stripe/PayPal/Square processing, so fees don't scale with ticket price. On a $30 ticket you're paying pennies where Eventbrite takes ~$3.77. No marketplace audience, so it assumes you bring your own crowd. Charities get 50% off. ([Ticket Tailor vs Eventbrite fee breakdown](https://www.eventcloud.io/blog/ticket-tailor-vs-eventbrite-2026), [TicketFairy comparison](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event-ticketing/eventbrite-vs-ticket-tailor)) **2. Eventbrite - only if you need the discovery.** ~3.7% + $1.79 per ticket plus ~2.9% processing, which is brutal on cheap tickets (near 24% of face value on a $10 ticket). You're paying for the marketplace: real people browse it and buy tickets to events they'd never have found otherwise. If your audience is already on your mailing list, you're overpaying. ([fee comparison](https://eventbritealternatives.com/blog/lowest-fee-ticketing-platform)) **3. Tito - best for conferences and B2B events.** 3% per paid ticket, capped at €25, no subscription, free events cost nothing. Dublin-based, built for tech/professional conferences, and the registration flow (attendee details, multi-ticket orders, discount codes) is genuinely better than the consumer platforms. Catch: you can't pass the fee to buyers, so you absorb it. ([ti.to pricing](https://ti.to/pricing), [Tito fees 2026](https://hi.events/fees/tito)) **4. Luma - for meetups, community events, and anything free.** Free with a 5% fee on paid tickets, or 0% on Luma Plus, payments through your own Stripe. Fastest setup of anything here and the event pages look good with no effort. Weakest on complex ticket types or large-scale operations. ([Ticket Tailor's Luma review](https://www.tickettailor.com/blog/luma-reviews-summary-pros-cons)) **5. Humanitix - if the ethics matter to you and tickets aren't cheap.** Not-for-profit; booking fee profits go to charity. 2.1% + $0.99, so it beats Luma above roughly $35 a ticket. Every feature on every plan, discounted rates for schools and charities, strongest in Australia/NZ with growing US/UK presence. ([Humanitix vs Luma](https://hi.events/compare/humanitix-vs-luma)) **6. DICE - music venues, club nights, festivals.** 13% is expensive, but it's mobile-first with app-based tickets that activate on the day, which kills scalping, and it has real fan discovery in the music space. Worth it only if you're in that niche. ([Humanitix vs DICE](https://hi.events/compare/humanitix-vs-dice)) **7. TicketSpice - attractions, farms, seasonal and recurring events.** Flat platform fee with heavy page customisation; built for timed entry and repeat sessions rather than one-off shows. ([TicketSpice comparison](https://www.ticketspice.com/blog/10-best-event-ticketing-platforms-for-2026-compared-by-use-case)) **8. Momentus or See Tickets - venue-scale only.** Multi-event programming, arenas, performing arts centres, large festivals. Overkill and over-priced for anything smaller. ([Momentus](https://gomomentus.com/blog/top-10-ticketing-software-platforms-for-venues-and-events)) The short version: if you already have an audience, use **Ticket Tailor**. If you're running a conference, use **Tito**. If it's a free community event, use **Luma**. Pay Eventbrite's premium only when you're genuinely buying discovery. Fee structures change often - verify current rates on each provider's own pricing page before committing.
