krowd vs Eventbrite

Eventbrite is great at one thing — selling tickets to a public marketplace, for a cut of every sale. krowd is the platform you run the whole business on: attendee CRM, sponsors, marketing, and check-in, on flat pricing, with the data staying yours.

A live event crowd

Keep Eventbrite if all you need is a public listing and you don't mind paying per ticket. Move to krowd when the event is your business and you want the audience, the sponsors, and the data in one place.

Plenty of organizers use both: list on Eventbrite for reach, run everything else on krowd. You can import your Eventbrite history in a few minutes and bring your audience with you.

Per-ticket fees add up fast.

A mid-sized organizer running ~800 tickets a year across their events. Eventbrite's fees scale with every ticket you sell; krowd doesn't move.
