Local Events & Things To Do
People look for Eventbrite alternatives over fees, mis-routed ticket links, or a wish for broader event discovery. Reviews praise Eventbrite's ease and trust but call out steep ticket and customer fees for both attendees and organizers. The picks here split into two kinds that both relate to Eventbrite: consumer event-discovery and ticketing apps where you find and buy tickets, and corporate or conference apps built for managing agendas, networking, and check-in at professional events. We flag which is which. We ranked these picks by embedding similarity to Eventbrite's discover-and-ticket model, then weighed live App Store ratings and review counts so you can tell consumer platforms from niche conference tools. Many are free, with availability varying by region, so check whether an app covers your city and what fees it charges before buying tickets.
Why it's similar
Both come from Eventbrite and share its event ecosystem, with Organizer handling ticket sales, check-in scanning, and live attendance for hosts. Each is part of the same platform.
How it differs
Eventbrite Organizer is the seller-side app for running events, not finding and buying tickets, so attendees would not use it to discover shows. With a 4.79 rating across 31,277 reviews it manages events rather than helping you attend them.
Why it's similar
Both are event-discovery platforms that help you find concerts, hobbies, and experiences anywhere and book tickets. AllEvents is the closest consumer rival here.
How it differs
AllEvents bills itself as the world's largest event discovery platform with a global trending feed, listed as paid here. With a 4.8 rating across 5,944 reviews it is well-rated but far smaller than Eventbrite's vast US event base.
Why it's similar
Both relate to events, with Booking.com Events offering agendas, speaker profiles, and live Q&A. Each centers on the event experience.
How it differs
Booking.com Events is a corporate-conference companion for attendees at managed events, not a consumer ticketing marketplace like Eventbrite. It is brand-new with no public ratings, built for professional gatherings rather than discovering local shows.
Why it's similar
Both center on events, with Eventory helping you plan a schedule, preview agendas, and network at events on the go. Each enhances the event experience.
How it differs
Eventory is a professional conference app focused on agendas, networking, and sponsor info, not consumer ticket discovery. With a 4.74 rating across only 97 reviews it serves event organizers and attendees at managed conferences rather than Eventbrite's broad public events.
Why it's similar
Both serve events, with Bizzabo providing agendas and engagement for attendees. Each aims to make events more rewarding.
How it differs
Bizzabo is enterprise event-management software for corporate conferences, not a consumer ticketing app. With a low 2.36 rating across 364 reviews it targets professional event teams, a very different audience from Eventbrite's everyday ticket buyers.
Why it's similar
Both are all-in-one event apps where organizers create events and attendees discover and buy tickets. The discover-and-ticket model overlaps with Eventbrite.
How it differs
eventmate is a mobile-first ticketing service that is brand-new with no public ratings, so it is unproven. It lacks Eventbrite's massive event inventory, audience reach, and established trust.
Why it's similar
Both relate to events, with EventBuizz offering access to info, networking, surveys, and polls. Each supports the event experience.
How it differs
EventBuizz is conference and trade-show management software, not a consumer ticket marketplace. It is brand-new with no public ratings and targets event managers running professional gatherings rather than Eventbrite's public-event attendees.
Why it's similar
Both help you discover events with personalized notifications and let organizers connect with audiences. The discovery focus overlaps with Eventbrite.
How it differs
Eventy App adds short-form video sharing of event experiences and is brand-new with only 14 ratings. Its tiny base and unproven catalog put it far behind Eventbrite's scale and event volume.
Why it's similar
Both let you book tickets for concerts, festivals, sports, and more and discover new events in one place. The ticket-buying model matches Eventbrite.
How it differs
EVENTIM USA is a ticketing app tied to the EVENTIM network, with a 3.0 rating across only 4 reviews, so it is barely tested in the US. Its inventory and reach are far smaller than Eventbrite's.
Why it's similar
Both let you discover and buy tickets for events in your city through the app. Each centers on event discovery and ticketing.
How it differs
Billetto serves the UK and Europe with 80,000+ organizers, so its strongest coverage is overseas. With a 3.2 rating across only 5 reviews it is small and region-focused, not a US-relevant Eventbrite swap.
Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Eventbrite, we compute cosine distance against every other app and surface the closest 60 candidates. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.
We then re-rank the candidate set using current App Store rating and review-count signals so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 reviews ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 reviews even when their embedding distance is similar. Apps that haven't shipped an update in 12 months are filtered out before re-ranking.
The similarity cache is recomputed weekly. Live App Store data (rating, review count) is verified every 6 hours.
