BetterWorld vs Eventbrite

Why Choose BetterWorld?

When it comes down to it, if you're a nonprofit looking to host a fundraising event, BetterWorld is the way to go.

It's designed with nonprofits in mind, offering all the tools and software needed to pull off successful fundraising activities like auctions, raffles, and donation campaigns. 

What makes BetterWorld stand out even more is its cost — or rather, the lack thereof. It's completely free, meaning all the money you raise can go straight to your cause without worrying about platform fees eating into your donations.

On the other hand, Eventbrite is a versatile platform that caters well to a variety of event types, from music festivals to conferences. It's equipped with robust marketing and analytics tools that can help maximize event reach and insights. 

However, this comes at a cost, with tiered pricing plans and additional fees for services and ticket sales. 

So, while Eventbrite might be more suited for general event hosting, for those in the nonprofit sector focused on fundraising, BetterWorld offers dedicated tools and price points that are hard to beat.
