GuestlistOnline vs Eventbrite FAQ

Question 1

Is GuestlistOnline a replacement for Eventbrite?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly. They serve different needs. Eventbrite is designed for public ticket sales and marketplace discovery — great if you want people to find your event and buy tickets online. GuestlistOnline is built for private guest list management: collecting RSVPs from a curated invite list, managing dietary requirements, tracking check-in, and keeping your event data under your own control. Many organizers use both tools for different purposes.

Question 2

Can I use both GuestlistOnline and Eventbrite together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Some organizers use Eventbrite for public ticket sales to drive general admission, and GuestlistOnline for managing a separate VIP or invite-only guest list alongside it. You can import your Eventbrite attendee data into GuestlistOnline via CSV export to consolidate your check-in and guest management in one place.

Question 3

Which is cheaper for paid events?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your event size. Eventbrite charges 3.7% + €0.79 per ticket (fees vary by country), which adds up quickly. For 100 tickets at €50 each, that's around €264 in fees. GuestlistOnline charges a flat €19.99 per event or €29/month — regardless of ticket count. For events with more than a handful of paid tickets, GuestlistOnline's flat pricing is typically more cost-effective.

Question 4

Does GuestlistOnline have a public event marketplace?

Accepted Answer

No. Your events are private by default — they are not listed in any public marketplace and cannot be discovered by people who weren't invited. This is intentional: GuestlistOnline is built for invite-only events where you control who attends. If you need public event discovery, Eventbrite's marketplace is a genuine advantage.

Question 5

Can I migrate from Eventbrite to GuestlistOnline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export your attendee list from Eventbrite as a CSV file (available from your Eventbrite dashboard under Orders > Export), then import it directly into GuestlistOnline using the guest import feature. Your guest names and email addresses will carry over, and you can then send check-in QR codes and manage the event from GuestlistOnline.
