Ticket Tailor** - My default recommendation for most independent organisers. It charges a flat fee per ticket (~$0.30-$0.85, or 60p+VAT in the UK) rather than a percentage, so on a $50 ticket you pay about $0.85 plus Stripe processing instead of Eventbrite's ~$5. Free events are free up to 5,000 tickets/year. The savings get dramatic as ticket prices rise. ([ticketingfees.co.uk](https://ticketingfees.co.uk/eventbrite-vs-tickettailor/), [eventcloud.io](https://www.eventcloud.io/blog/ticket-tailor-vs-eventbrite-2026))\n\n**2. Eventbrite** - Worth it specifically if you need *discovery*. It's the only one on this list with a real consumer marketplace that will put bums in seats you didn't market to yourself. Fees are the highest of the mainstream options (3.7% + $1.79 per ticket plus 2.9% processing in the US; 6.95% + 59p in the UK), so treat that as a marketing cost. Also the fastest to launch something in an afternoon. ([ticketfairy.com](https://www.ticketfairy.com/us/event-ticketing/eventbrite-vs-ticket-tailor))\n\n**3. Tito** - Best for paid conferences and professional events. 3% per ticket but **", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
