Eventbrite is an event management and ticketing marketplace. Organisers publish event listings that can be discovered publicly, and Eventbrite charges service and payment-processing fees on paid tickets. Free events can generally be published at no cost.
We'd rather you pick the right tool than a refund-worthy mistake. Eventbrite is a better fit if:
You can, but it is a poor fit. Guests receive a ticket rather than an invitation, the experience is transactional, and the platform is built around discovery and ticketing. InviteBeam sends a designed invitation with a personal RSVP link to each guest.
No. InviteBeam handles private, invite-only events with a guest list. If you need to sell tickets or collect payment from attendees, Eventbrite is the right tool.
Free events can generally be published at no cost; paid ticketing carries service and payment-processing fees. InviteBeam is free up to 10 guests and a flat $5 above that, with no fees tied to attendees.

InviteBeam vs Evite
Evite pioneered online invitations and remains a popular free option, but its free tier shows ads and many designs and features sit behind paid Pro tiers. InviteBeam is a flat $5 per event with no ads, no subscription, and every design included.

InviteBeam vs Paperless Post
Paperless Post is known for elegant designs but uses a coin-based pricing model where premium cards and larger guest lists cost more coins. InviteBeam replaces all of that with a flat $5 per event for up to 100 guests, with every design included.
