Comparison
RegFox vs Eventbrite
RegFox lands on Worth it, and Eventbrite lands on Depends.
Eventbrite
Depends
Confidence: Medium
Fine for small organizers running public events who want built-in discovery, if stacked per-ticket fees don't sting.
| Compare | RegFox | Eventbrite |
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Worth it | Depends |
| Best for | Nonprofits on tight budgets | One-off public events |
| Who it's not for | One-off small meetups . a free form tool is enough | Nonprofits . Zeffy is 100% free |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.² | PCI compliant with a bug bounty; CVEs found are in third-party WordPress plugins, not Eventbrite core. |
| Support quality | No evidence in reviewed sources | Common complaints; company working to improve |
| Public sentiment | Reddit nonprofit users praise RegFox's budget fit versus pricier Whova, and Capterra hosts 148 verified reviews.⁶ | Organizers credit Eventbrite with reach and simplicity but flood forums with complaints about rising fees, support, and post-acquisition changes. |
| Biggest gotcha | 'Free to start' still bills 99¢ + 1% per paid registrant once tickets sell¹ | Fees stack: percentage plus per-ticket charge, passed to buyers. Paid events are never free |
