Eventbrite charges 2.7% plus $0.79 per ticket, on every ticket, forever. Sell 500 tickets at $20 and that’s roughly $665 in fees for one event. Eventcraft is $39 once — after your first event it’s already the cheapest ticketing stack you’ll ever run, and it never touches the funds or takes a cut.

• Event pages — Title, rich description, date and time, venue or virtual link, cover image and a shareable clean URL.
• Ticket tiers — Free or paid, quantity limits and early-bird pricing windows, with all money handled as integer cents to avoid rounding bugs.
• BYO Stripe Payment Link — Paste your own Payment Link per tier; attendees pay Stripe’s standard rate and only Stripe’s rate, with zero API calls to any payment provider.
• QR-code tickets — Generated server-side, emailed on confirmation via optional SMTP, and always viewable at a private ticket URL.
• Door check-in mode — An in-browser webcam scanner with duplicate-scan detection, a live checked-in counter and a manual code fallback.
• Capacity and waitlist — Sold-out tiers auto-waitlist, and cancelling a confirmed seat auto-promotes the earliest waitlister and emails their ticket.
• Add to calendar — Spec-correct RFC 5545 .ics files with proper escaping and line folding.
