Servomo vs Eventbrite
Eventbrite or Servomo? The same ticket, a very different fee
In short: Eventbrite charges 6% per ticket (or 9% + €0.19) and, by default, the buyer pays that fee; Servomo charges the organiser 4% with no contract down to 2% with a 4-year contract, published, booking fees are set by the organiser and the money goes into the business's own terminal, with Bizum and a legal Spanish invoice.
Eventbrite is the best-known events platform in the world and publishes its prices clearly, which is more than almost everyone else does: 6% per ticket sold on its Essentials plan, or 9% plus €0.19 per ticket on Professional. Free events pay nothing.
What decides the maths is who pays that fee: on Eventbrite, by default, the buyer pays it (unless you choose to cover it). With Servomo the commission is always paid by the organiser, 4% with no contract down to 2% with a 4-year contract of sales, and any booking fee for the buyer is the organiser's decision, not the platform's. And it's charged into the organiser's own terminal.
