3 decisions
How to choose Event Management tools
Eventbrite and Meetup are the largest networks: organizers publish events and reach people already browsing for things to do. Luma and AllEvents work the same way on a smaller scale, both with a free publishing tier. Move blends event creation with calendar syncing, community spaces, and messaging in one place. TicketLeap is the only tool here that costs organizers nothing at all, passing its fees to ticket buyers instead.
Two things separate these tools most. The first is the size of the built-in audience: Eventbrite and Meetup bring existing communities; Luma and AllEvents bring smaller but growing ones. The second is what organizers pay. TicketLeap charges organizers nothing. Eventbrite charges 3.7% plus $1.79 per paid ticket. Meetup bills organizers from $29.99 a month before a single ticket sells. Luma charges nothing on free events and $59 a month for its Plus plan.
Which tools cost organizers nothing upfront
TicketLeap, Luma, AllEvents, and Eventbrite all let organizers publish without paying a monthly fee. TicketLeap goes furthest: its Standard plan charges $1 plus 2% per ticket sold, and that cost passes to the buyer, so the organizer keeps the full face value. AllEvents works the same way, passing convenience fees to attendees. Luma charges no fee on free events and takes a platform fee only on paid ones under its free plan. Meetup is different: organizers pay from $29.99 a month whether or not any event runs that month.
How much of the audience is already there
Eventbrite and Meetup have the largest existing audiences among these tools. Someone browsing Eventbrite or Meetup for local events may find a newly published listing without any promotion from the organizer. Luma and AllEvents offer discovery too, with Luma supporting event embedding so listings can appear outside the platform. Move takes a different approach. It is a unified timeline where people sync their own calendars and join community spaces. The audience is built around a group rather than drawn from a general browsing pool. Organizers who already have a community may find Move's built-in messaging and membership tools more useful than a large open directory.
What the tool does beyond listing events
Most tools here stop at publishing and ticketing. Move adds membership management, community spaces, and instant payouts, with a Pro plan at $16 a month and a one-time Enterprise option at $8,000. Luma adds crypto event features including token gating and wallet address collection, which no other tool here mentions. Converve is built entirely around structured one-to-one meetings at B2B events. Organizers control the matchmaking rules live during the event. Its plans start at €3,400 per event, making it the only tool here priced per event rather than per month or per ticket. Eventbrite includes marketing email tools, though advanced email plans require a paid subscription.
6 questions
Frequently asked questions
Which event management tool is completely free for organizers?
TicketLeap. It charges organizers nothing: no subscription, no upfront cost. Its fee of $1 plus 2% per ticket is added to the buyer's price at checkout. Luma, AllEvents, and Eventbrite also have free tiers, but they take a percentage of paid ticket sales rather than passing a fixed fee to buyers.
Does Meetup charge organizers a monthly fee?
Yes. Meetup's Standard organizer subscription starts from $29.99 per month, and its Pro subscription starts from $55 per group per month. That cost runs whether or not any event is held that month, which makes it the only tool here that bills organizers on a recurring basis before any ticket sells.
What does Luma Plus cost and what does it add?
Luma Plus costs $59 a month billed annually. The free plan already includes unlimited events and guest lists, so Plus is for organizers who need features beyond that. Luma also supports crypto event features like token gating on both plans, which no other tool here offers.
Which tools work for B2B events and trade shows?
Converve and Lensmor, though they serve different sides of that work. Converve is a matchmaking platform for organizers running structured one-to-one meetings at B2B events; plans start at €3,400 per event. Lensmor is for sales teams, not organizers: it finds verified decision-makers attending trade shows before the event happens, with plans from $149 a month.
Can organizers collect ticket payments directly?
AllEvents pays organizers directly through multiple payment gateways, though payouts in INR can take two to five business days. Move offers instant payouts on paid events and memberships. Eventbrite processes payments and disburses them on its own schedule. TicketLeap releases payments four to seven days after the event ends, which is worth knowing for organizers who need funds quickly.
Which tool suits a recurring local community group?
Meetup is built for exactly that: organizers create groups around shared interests and members join to find recurring local events. The trade-off is the monthly fee starting from $29.99. Move is an alternative for organizers who want community spaces and messaging without a per-month subscription, using its free Regular plan or $16-a-month Pro plan instead.
