The answer, as recorded
Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them. Note upfront that most fee comparison pages are published by ticketing companies themselves, so treat the exact numbers as a starting point and confirm on each vendor's own pricing page. **1. Ticket Tailor - the default for most independent organisers.** Flat fee per ticket (~$0.85 pay-as-you-sell, as low as ~$0.30 on prepaid credits, free events genuinely free), and you plug in your own Stripe/PayPal/Square so you hold the money and the customer relationship. On a $30 ticket it's roughly $0.85 vs Eventbrite's ~$3.77. The tradeoff is zero discovery - nobody finds your event there, you bring your own audience. ([eventcloud.io](https://www.eventcloud.io/blog/ticket-tailor-vs-eventbrite-2026), [tickettailor.com](https://www.tickettailor.com/en-us/eventbrite-alternative)) **2. Luma - best for community events, meetups, tech/startup events.** 5% on paid tickets, or 0% on Luma Plus (~$59/mo billed annually), payouts straight into your own Stripe as tickets sell rather than after the event. The signup flow and event pages are the nicest of anything here, and it's become the de facto standard in the startup/AI event world. Weaker for anything needing reserved seating or complex ticket logic. ([hi.events](https://hi.events/compare/eventbrite-vs-luma), [help.luma.com](https://help.luma.com/p/luma-vs-eventbrite)) **3. Tito (ti.to) - best for conferences and paid B2B events.** 3% capped at €25/ticket, with a 2.5% rate for charity and community events. Dublin-based, built specifically around multi-day conferences: discount codes, invoicing, registration questions, attendee management. The cap matters a lot if you're selling €500+ tickets. ([hi.events](https://hi.events/compare/humanitix-vs-tito)) **4. Humanitix - if you want the margin to do something useful.** 2.1% + $0.99, and profits go to charity, which is a genuine marketing asset for nonprofit, school, and community events. Cheaper than Eventbrite above roughly $115/ticket. Strongest in Australia/NZ, solid in UK/US. ([hi.events](https://hi.events/compare/humanitix-vs-dice), [help.humanitix.com](https://help.humanitix.com/en/articles/12292391-what-are-the-humanitix-booking-fees)) **5. Eventbrite - only if you actually need the marketplace.** 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket plus 2.9% processing is the most expensive of the mainstream options, and two 2026 changes make it worse: fee caps were permanently removed, and it no longer refunds fees on cancelled events. But it has ~89M monthly buyers and real SEO pull, so if a meaningful share of your sales come from people discovering you, the premium can pay for itself. Test it against a cheaper platform on comparable events before committing. ([eventbritealternatives.com](https://eventbritealternatives.com/blog/lowest-fee-ticketing-platform), [hi.events](https://hi.events/compare/eventbrite-vs-luma)) **6. DICE - for music, club nights, and festivals.** ~13% is steep, but it's the only one on this list with a real audience of its own in live music, plus a waitlist system and in-app resale that kills scalping. Fans expect it for gigs. Resident Advisor (~10%) is the equivalent for electronic/underground. ([hi.events](https://hi.events/compare/dice-vs-tito), [hi.events](https://hi.events/compare/resident-advisor-vs-tito)) **7. TicketSpice or SimpleTix - for high-volume, assigned-seating, or timed-entry.** Flat per-ticket pricing that scales well, plus reserved seating, season passes, and timed entry - the stuff Ticket Tailor and Luma don't do well. Worth a look for theatres, attractions, and haunted-house/seasonal operators. ([simpletix.com](https://www.simpletix.com/best-eventbrite-alternatives-2026/)) **8. Momentus Ticketing or See Tickets - venue/enterprise scale only.** If you're a performing arts centre, arena, or running festivals with tens of thousands of attendees, these are the ones built for multi-event programming, box office integration, and that volume. Overkill and overpriced for anything smaller. ([gomomentus.com](https://gomomentus.com/blog/top-10-ticketing-software-platforms-for-venues-and-events), [ticketsource.com](https://www.ticketsource.com/blog/best-event-ticketing-platforms)) The short version: **Ticket Tailor** if you have your own audience and want the lowest fees, **Luma** for community and tech events, **Tito** for conferences, **DICE** for music, and **Eventbrite** only when you're genuinely paying for discovery.
