Eventbrite VS Ticketbud
🎟️
Eventbrite charges 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket and Ticketbud takes 3.5% + $0.99. Zeffy charges zero fees, so your fundraising gala or community event actually raises money for your mission.
🧰
Eventbrite and Ticketbud only handle ticketing, forcing you to juggle separate tools for donations, raffles, and donor follow-up. Zeffy gives you everything in one platform.
🤝
Eventbrite and Ticketbud collect basic attendee data but lack donor management features. Zeffy helps you turn event attendees into recurring supporters with built-in CRM and email tools.
Zeffy charges zero fees on ticket sales, while Eventbrite takes 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket. For a $50 ticket, you keep the full $50 with Zeffy versus $46.35 with Eventbrite. Plus, donors can leave voluntary contributions to support your cause.
Unlike Ticketbud's 3.5% + $0.99 fees per ticket, Zeffy keeps 100% of your ticket revenue in your pocket. We also offer built-in donation tools and raffle features that Ticketbud lacks, giving you everything needed for successful fundraising events.
Yes! While Eventbrite and Ticketbud focus only on ticketing, Zeffy provides a complete fundraising platform. Run auctions, sell raffle tickets, collect donations, and manage memberships all in one place without any platform fees.
Zeffy is built specifically for nonprofits, not just events. While Eventbrite and Ticketbud only handle ticketing, Zeffy offers donations, auctions, raffles, and memberships all in one platform with zero fees on everything.
With Zeffy's zero-fee model, you keep 100% of ticket sales. On a $1,000 fundraising event, Eventbrite would cost you $87 in fees and Ticketbud $45. That's money that stays with your mission instead of going to platform fees.
Zeffy is the fundraising platform that cuts out the fees, clears up your tech mess, and puts your cause first — so your team, even if you're a small team wearing many hats or a one-person show, can focus on what really matters.
No platform fees. No processing fees. No catch. We know it sounds too good to be true, but it's not. Every penny goes straight to your mission, while competitors take 2-3% off every donation.

Stop bouncing between MailChimp, Eventbrite, and all those spreadsheets. Now you can handle donations, ticket sales, memberships, raffles, and all your donor info in one spot.
Built for teams like yours — whether you're volunteer-led or have limited staff. Set up donation forms, sell tickets, and launch campaigns without needing a tech wizard. It's super easy, and you'll be up and running in minutes.


From QR codes on flyers to Tap-to-Pay on a phone, Zeffy makes it easy to accept donations on the go. Mobile-optimized and offline-ready, so no donor slips through the cracks.
Centralize supporter relationships, automate thank-you messages, and preserve institutional knowledge when board members rotate out.

As a startup nonprofit with only two members, and no funding (yet) we’d need something with low (or no) fees. Zeffy was a dream come true.
