When TicketOtter is the better fit
The higher your ticket price, the more a flat fee saves over a percentage. TicketOtter suits organisers who already have an audience and want payments going straight to their own Stripe account.
When Eventbrite is the better fit
Eventbrite runs a large marketplace where people browse for events. If you rely on being discovered there, that may be worth its fees. TicketOtter doesn’t offer one.
