Eventbrite vs TicketLeap (2026)

TicketLeap charges $1 per paid ticket and sells no plans. Eventbrite is free to start, and its optional subscriptions start at $69 a month. TicketLeap puts its fee at $1 + 2% per ticket plus a 3% transaction fee, and says every organizer gets the whole toolset with no subscriptions. It asks for no contract, so an organizer can run one event and stop. Verified nonprofits get 50% off an Eventbrite Pro subscription. Neither cuts the per-ticket fee for nonprofits, apart from Eventbrite donation tickets in some countries.

Eventbrite's standard payout lands three business days after an event, with scheduled and instant options for organizers who qualify. TicketLeap holds the money until the event ends, then pays by direct deposit 4 to 6 business days later, or 5 to 7 for Canadian sellers. TicketLeap fights a disputed charge and fronts the money, but if the bank rules against you, the order amount and an $11.50 dispute fee come out of future payouts. Eventbrite is the merchant of record. If the bank sides with the buyer, you are charged the order's net sales, while Eventbrite drops its own fees and pays any bank fee.

Eventbrite's Embedded Checkout lets attendees buy without leaving the organizer's website, and events are listed on its marketplace where buyers browse. TicketLeap's website tool is a Buy Tickets button, which the vendor says directs buyers to a TicketLeap purchase page. By default TicketLeap adds its fees on top of the first price a buyer sees, unless the organizer picks Paid by Me for that event. Eventbrite organizers can switch on self-service ticket changes for qualifying paid public events. TicketLeap buyers must contact the organizer for any refund or exchange. Eventbrite processes payments in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. TicketLeap supports the United States, Canada and Australia, with UK sellers outside its list.
