In all honesty
Eventbrite has real strengths — here's why millions of organizers use it
Eventbrite is one of the best-known ticketing platforms in the world. To sell tickets to a consumer event — a concert, a tech meetup, an open workshop — it's effective: a built-in marketplace, organic visibility, simple online payment. If your goal is to sell tickets to strangers and fill a room, Eventbrite does that very well.

The differences
Why choose MeetOS
Your brand, not ours
Your attendees land on a platform that looks like you. MeetOS is invisible. Eventbrite displays its own branding on every page of your event.
No per-ticket fees
On Eventbrite, every ticket sold costs you 3.7% + $1.79. On 300 registrations at 500 MAD, you lose over 15,000 MAD in fees. MeetOS charges for a platform, not for your tickets.
Far more than registration
Eventbrite stops at ticketing. MeetOS handles everything before, during and after: agenda, networking, check-in, speakers, exhibitors, analytics.
A human contact
Not a chatbot, not a support ticket. A team based in Morocco, reachable directly, that knows your event.
The right choice
Who should choose what
Choose Eventbrite if:
- —You're running a consumer event (concert, meetup, open workshop)
- —Your priority is ticket sales and discovery through the Eventbrite marketplace
- —You don't need networking, a multi-session agenda or white-label
Choose MeetOS if:
- You're running a conference, a corporate summit or an institutional forum
- You want the platform to be entirely your brand (full white-label)
- You need to manage speakers, multiple sessions, networking and check-in
- You're based in Morocco or West Africa and want a local partner
Local presence
Based in Morocco, present across West Africa
Most event platforms are built in the US or Europe: English-only support, 48-hour replies, billing in foreign currencies. MeetOS is designed and operated from Morocco. You get a direct contact, in French, in your time zone, who can be on-site the day of your event. For organizations in West Africa and the Maghreb, billing in MAD also simplifies your administrative processes.
Pricing
Understanding the real costs
Eventbrite (standard plan): 3.7% + $1.79 per ticket sold + payment processing fees. For 300 attendees registering at 500 MAD (~$55): ~$7,000 in platform fees. Eventbrite branding stays visible.
MeetOS: platform access from 20,000 MAD incl. tax + a sliding per-attendee rate (150 MAD for 1–100, 100 MAD for 101–500, 70 MAD for 500+). For 300 attendees: ~50,000 MAD incl. tax, all in. Full white-label, every feature included, no hidden fees.
Your questions
Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between MeetOS and Eventbrite?
Eventbrite is a consumer ticketing platform: it helps you sell tickets and promote your event on its marketplace. MeetOS is a complete B2B event management platform: registration, multi-session agenda, networking, QR check-in, speaker management, analytics — all under your brand. They are two different products for different uses.
Can MeetOS sell tickets like Eventbrite?
MeetOS handles registration and access — including paid events — without taking a per-ticket fee. For institutional events and B2B conferences, this approach is generally more advantageous than Eventbrite's model (3.7% + a fixed fee per ticket).
Is MeetOS suitable for small events?
MeetOS is built for conferences, summits and institutional forums — generally from 100 attendees up. For a 50-person consumer event with ticket sales, Eventbrite may be enough. For a corporate summit, a sector forum or a conference with networking and speaker management, MeetOS is the right choice.
Do attendees have to download an app?
No. MeetOS is a Progressive Web App — it opens in any browser, on mobile, tablet or desktop. Zero downloads, zero friction for your attendees.
Is the MeetOS brand visible to my attendees?
No. MeetOS is fully white-label: your logo, your colors, your URL. Your attendees never see the MeetOS name. It's your event, your image.
