Eventbrite alternative for conferences: keep the ticketing, add the app
event67 is a branded conference app and organizer console for the days of the event itself, priced per activated attendee with a ceiling per event. Eventbrite is a ticketing and registration platform with a consumer discovery marketplace. They do different jobs, and for a conference the usual answer is both rather than either.

event67 is not a replacement for ticketing, and this page will not pretend otherwise
If you arrived searching for an Eventbrite alternative (Eventbrite is a trademark of Eventbrite, Inc.) because you want to sell tickets somewhere else, event67 cannot help and the honest thing is to say so in the first paragraph rather than the ninth. event67 does not sell tickets, does not collect payment from attendees, has no box office, no refunds, no payouts and no checkout of any kind. Every one of those is a confirmed hard exclusion in the product, not a roadmap item.
What event67 does is the part that starts after the ticket is scanned. If your search was really 'the conference app my Eventbrite ticketing does not include', that is a different question with a real answer, and it is the question this page is written for.
Eventbrite publishes online ticketing and registration for paid and free events, a consumer event-discovery marketplace and audience network, an email marketing add-on, ads in select markets, a consumer iOS app for discovering, booking and storing tickets with Apple Wallet integration, and mobile check-in with QR ticket scanning (accessed 3 September 2026). Its pricing is published on its own page, including the position that free events carry no fees and that ticket fees are paid by buyers by default or can be absorbed by the organiser. Those are strong reasons to keep it. None of them is an agenda, a personal schedule, live Q&A, polls, attendee networking or a shared photo album, because that is a different product category.
What organizers ask us for — event67's own opinion
Our own reading of the conversations we have with organisers who already sell tickets somewhere. Opinion about what people want, not a claim about any other product.
- An app carrying the conference's name
- A schedule attendees can personalise
- Questions and polls inside the session
- Attendees meeting each other on purpose
- One organiser bill, no ticket percentage
- Photos and announcements in one place
event67 answers each of those directly. The app is published to the App Store and Google Play under the client's own listing, so attendees search for the conference rather than for a marketplace. My Picks pins starred sessions to the top of an attendee's own day, and workshop RSVPs enforce capacity server-side with automatic waitlist promotion. Live Q&A is moderated and upvoted; polls run from the session screen. Connections happen when one attendee deliberately scans another's QR code. Billing is organiser-facing only, at a published per-attendee rate with a per-event ceiling, and event67 is never in the ticket transaction because it has no checkout. And the shared photo album, announcements and smart push all live in the same app as the schedule.

event67 meters activated attendees on a single event. Eventbrite's published model is per-ticket service fee plus a per-order payment-processing fee on paid tickets; free events carry no fee; optional paid email-marketing add-on. The two are not the same unit, so the figures are not directly comparable.
Every event67 figure on this page is generated at build time from event67's own pricing library rather than typed into the page, so the page and the meter cannot disagree. event67 publishes no performance, capacity or throughput measurement on this page, and makes no comparative measurement of any other product.
All third-party names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. event67 is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any company named on this page. Comparison details are accurate as at the dates shown.
A 380-person paid conference, running both
Tickets sell where they already sell. When the attendee list is settled, it moves into event67 as a CSV — event67 imports attendee lists from CSV, including files exported from other platforms, and event67 is not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by any of them. Invites go out with per-recipient delivery tracking, and the console's live meter counts activations from the day the event is published.
On the day, delegates run a personal agenda across the tracks, RSVP into capacity-controlled workshops, scan each other to connect, upvote into moderated live Q&A, answer polls from the session screen, rate sessions and send suggestions straight to the organiser, and post into a shared photo album the organiser runs open, moderated or admin-only. Sponsors sit on tier-ordered pages from Platinum to Bronze. Apple Wallet passes are issued from the event record and refreshed by the backend while the event runs. The organiser publishes deep-linking announcements and scheduled push, approves photos and questions, runs an audit-logged admin chat, sends themed branded email with tracked links, and reads engagement analytics live.
The event67 bill: 380 activated attendees, less the 50 that are free, is 330 billable at $5 — $1,650 for the event. That is an organiser charge only. event67 takes no percentage of ticket revenue, because it is not in the ticket transaction at all. Figures computed from event67's pricing library at build time.
When Eventbrite is the right product, which is most of the time
For everything on the selling side, and there is no contest. Eventbrite publishes online ticketing and registration for paid and free events with a published fee structure on its own pricing page, states that organisers can publish unlimited free events at no cost, and lets ticket fees be paid by buyers by default or absorbed by the organiser (accessed 3 September 2026). event67 has no equivalent because it has no checkout. If your requirement is selling, scanning and getting paid, this is not a comparison.
The discovery side is the second reason and it is one that no B2B event tool in this category can answer. Eventbrite runs a consumer event-discovery marketplace and an audience network, plus ads in select markets (accessed 3 September 2026), and its consumer iOS app carries roughly 1.8 million App Store ratings (Apple, accessed 3 September 2026). If part of your ticket sales come from people who were not already on your list, that marketplace is doing work event67 cannot do at all. event67 has no audience network, no discovery surface and no way to find you an attendee you did not already know about.
And for a great many events, Eventbrite alone is simply enough. A single-track meetup, a workshop, a fundraiser, a class: the ticket, the QR scan at the door and a printed agenda cover it. A conference app earns its place when there are multiple tracks, a programme people need to navigate, and delegates who benefit from meeting each other. Below that threshold, adding a second product is overhead and we would rather say so.
What event67 does not do
The exclusion list matters more than usual here, because the overlap between the two products is deliberately small:
- Attendee registration, ticketing, payment collection, refunds and payouts
- Paid forms — event67's forms collect responses, never money
- Event discovery, a consumer marketplace or an audience network
- Prospect advertising and paid promotion
- Onsite badge printing, kiosks and check-in hardware
- Exhibitor lead retrieval and booth scanning
- Virtual and hybrid streaming and on-demand video
- Call for papers, abstract review and speaker portals
- CEU, CME or PDH credit tracking and certificates
- In-app account deletion — deletion runs by email and a web page
How the two fit together
Sell the tickets as you already do
Nothing about adding a conference app changes the checkout, the fees, the refunds or the payouts. event67 is not in that transaction and takes no cut of ticket revenue.
Export the attendee list when it settles
Name, email and any profile fields you want visible in the directory. Late registrations can be imported in a second pass; invites are unlimited and are never the meter.
Import into event67 and build the programme
CSV import, then sessions, tracks, rooms, speakers and tier-ordered sponsors in the console. Workshop capacities and waitlists are enforced server-side.
Theme it and send invites
Logo, colours and typography flow through every attendee screen, with a WCAG AA contrast advisory on each colour pair that warns and confirms without blocking a save. Invites carry per-recipient delivery tracking, and the live meter runs from publication day.
The genuinely awkward part is that this is two systems and no connector. There is no integration between event67 and any ticketing platform, and describing a CSV import as one would imply a relationship that does not exist. In practice that means a person exports a file and imports it, once when the list settles and again for late registrations. For a 380-person conference that is twenty minutes twice. For a rolling programme with continuous sales it is a recurring chore, and you should decide who owns it before the first event rather than after.

Questions people actually ask
Can event67 sell tickets for my conference?
No. event67 does not sell tickets, collect payment from attendees, process refunds or run a box office, and its forms collect responses rather than money. All of that is confirmed absent from the product. Organisers keep ticketing wherever it already lives and import the resulting attendee list into event67 by CSV.
What does Eventbrite charge?
Eventbrite publishes its fees on its own pricing page, including a per-ticket service fee and a separate payment-processing fee on paid tickets, no fees on free events, and an email marketing add-on. It also states that ticket fees are paid by buyers by default or can be absorbed by the organiser (accessed 3 September 2026). The table on this page carries the figures with the source and date. Eventbrite may change its pricing; check its pricing page for current figures.
Does event67 take a percentage of ticket sales?
No, and it structurally cannot, because event67 is never in the ticket transaction. event67 bills the organiser only: the first 50 activated attendees are free, each one after that is $5, and a single event stops at $4,750. The charge lands 48 hours after the event ends, never before.
Is event67 integrated with Eventbrite?
No. event67 imports attendee lists from CSV, including files exported from Eventbrite, and event67 is not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by Eventbrite. There is no connector, no API integration and no partnership. A person exports a file and imports it.
Do attendees need two apps?
They may already have one. Eventbrite's consumer app stores tickets, including in Apple Wallet (accessed 3 September 2026), and event67 issues its own Apple Wallet pass from the event record for entry and identity at your event. In practice attendees use the ticketing app to get in and the conference app for the programme, and a Wallet pass covers the moment at the door either way.
When is a conference app not worth adding?
This is our own view rather than a rule. Below roughly one track and a couple of hours, the ticket and a printed agenda are enough, and a second product is overhead nobody thanks you for. An app earns its place when delegates have to choose between concurrent sessions, when the programme changes during the day, or when the point of the event is that people meet each other.
