Pros and cons
Whova
Pros
- Event app, registration and networking in one package
- Published ticket fee (3% + $0.99), with no fee on free tickets and the option to pass fees on
- Early Stripe payouts put ticket revenue in your account before the event
- Conference tools such as abstract management, call for speakers and exhibitor lead retrieval
Cons
- No public platform pricing; every event needs a quote
- No free plan, and a trial only after a sales demo
- Registration isn't sold as a standalone product
- Doesn't state whether Stripe processing fees apply on top of its ticket fee
Eventbrite
Pros
- Free to publish unlimited events, with no fees on free tickets
- Clear published US fees, with the choice to pass them on or absorb them
- Discovery marketplace can bring in new buyers

Cons
- Highest published per-ticket cost here: 3.7% + $1.79 plus 2.9% processing
- Default payout only after the event ends; first-time organizers wait until after their first event

- Premium and Ads spend cost extra
