What sets them apart
The details that matter when choosing between the two.
Your data, your brand
GuestlistOnline is fully white-label. No 'Powered by' badges, no public marketplace listing. Eventbrite puts your event in their marketplace where anyone can find it — useful for some, a problem for private events.
No platform fees
GuestlistOnline charges a flat fee per event or per month — not a percentage of every ticket. Eventbrite takes a cut of every ticket sold. For events with 50+ paid tickets, the difference compounds fast.
Built for guest lists
GuestlistOnline focuses on guest management: RSVPs, dietary tracking, check-in, promoter links, and seating. Eventbrite focuses on public ticket sales. Different tools for different jobs.
When to use Eventbrite instead
If you want public discovery and marketplace exposure — a concert, a public workshop, a community meetup — Eventbrite's marketplace is a genuine advantage. If you want control over your guest experience and data, GuestlistOnline is the better fit.
