Eventbrite sells tickets and registrations to people who find your event. Cvent is an enterprise event-management suite with registration, marketing and integrations, priced by quote.

When Eventbrite is the better choice
- You sell tickets. Eventbrite is built around ticket sales; its pricing page lists a per-ticket service fee and a payment processing fee on paid tickets.
- People find the event themselves. A public event page and discovery matter more than a fixed guest list.
- The event is free and open. Eventbrite’s pricing page says free events can be published at no cost.
When Cvent is the better choice
- You run a programme of large events. Cvent lists registration websites, email marketing, payments in 130+ currencies and native CRM integrations such as Salesforce, HubSpot and Marketo.
- You need enterprise procurement. Pricing is set per customer by quote, with a modular Professional tier or an Enterprise bundle.
When Sealdate is the better choice
- You already know who is invited. A Christmas party, a client dinner, an anniversary or a launch for a list of partners and press. Each guest gets a personal invitation by name and replies with one tap, without an account or an app.
- You want a known price before you start. One payment per event, set by guest count, no subscription and no ticket fees.
- The invitation should look like your brand. We build it from your logo and colours and send a free prototype the same or next working day.
- You need the replies, not a funnel. Plus-ones, dietary needs and your own questions arrive in one live list with Excel export. On the day, RSVP and QR check-in handle the door.
Real numbers from Sealdate sends: at Tehnoguma’s Christmas party 210 of 230 invited guests confirmed, and for CC Real’s 20th anniversary 548 invitations went out from the client’s own domain, events.cc-real.com.
