Stridee vs Eventbrite

Stridee vs Eventbrite: Feature Comparison

Both platforms let you create and manage events, but they're built for different purposes. Here's how we compare:

Pricing Comparison

This is where it gets interesting.

Stridee:

• Free events: $0
• Paid events: no platform fee at all — just Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30)
• On a $20 ticket: $0.88 total

Eventbrite (Flex Plan):

• Free events: $0
• Paid events: 3.5% + $1.79 per ticket + payment processing (2.9% + $0.30)
• On a $20 ticket: $3.11 total

That's 72% less in fees with Stridee on a typical ticket, because we take none of it — only the card processor gets paid.

Built for Running Communities

Eventbrite is a general-purpose ticketing platform. It works for concerts, conferences, and corporate events. But it wasn't built for sports.

Stridee is purpose-built for running clubs and event organizers:

• Route sharing: Upload GPX files so participants can preview and download the course—no premium subscription required.
• Event media: Upload photos and videos from your events. Participants can relive the experience and share with friends.
• Memberships: Build recurring revenue with paid club memberships, not just one-off ticket sales.
• Own your contacts: Export your member list anytime. Send newsletters, build relationships outside the platform.

When to Choose Eventbrite

Eventbrite might be a better fit if:

• You need reserved seating: Eventbrite has seat maps for venues with assigned seating.
• You want marketplace discovery: Eventbrite has a large built-in audience browsing for events. We don't promote your events—you bring your own community.
• You're running non-sports events: Conferences, concerts, and corporate events may be better suited for a general-purpose platform.
