Frequently asked questions
Is WebMobi really cheaper than Eventbrite?
+
For paid B2B tickets: yes. WebMobi takes 0% of your ticket revenue on every plan, permanently — you pay a flat subscription ($19–$99/month) and bring your own payment provider. Eventbrite's published US organiser pricing is 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket (US), plus 2.9% payment processing, so on a $500 ticket the service fee alone is $20.29 — every registration, forever. Eventbrite's rate differs outside the US.
Will I lose Eventbrite's discovery traffic if I switch?
+
WebMobi pushes every published event into its 130K-event B2B-leaning discovery directory. For consumer events Eventbrite still wins on raw directory volume; for B2B / professional / conference events, WebMobi's curated audience converts better.
Can I import my Eventbrite attendee list?
+
Yes — CSV export from Eventbrite Reports goes straight into WebMobi via the import wizard. Past-event email lists carry over for re-marketing your next event.
Does WebMobi process payments globally?
+
No — WebMobi does not take ticket payments. Paid events link to the ticketing or payment page you already use, so your provider pays you directly and WebMobi takes no share.
What about Eventbrite Music or Eventbrite Boost?
+
WebMobi doesn't replicate Eventbrite's consumer-music vertical or its paid promotion tool. If those are your core use case, stay with Eventbrite. If you're running B2B conferences, WebMobi is the better fit.
