Eventcreate vs Eventzilla (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Eventcreate if

• Fits if you run one small event a year for under 50 guests
• Makes sense if you want an event site and RSVPs without a developer

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you run more than 1 event or 50 guests on the free plan
• Pricey if you need check-in, badges or Zapier, which start at $59 a month
• Watch out: the per-ticket fee for paid events is not stated on the pricing page
• Watch out: SMS on Summit is metered and extra custom domains are $100 a year each

Pick Eventzilla if

• Fits if you run conferences that need agendas, speakers and badges
• Works for training providers and associations taking paid registrations

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you sell low-priced tickets, as the $1.50 per registration doesn't shrink with the price
• Tight if you stay on Basic, which allows only one paid ticket type
• Watch out: agendas and conditional logic on free events need an add-on from $49 a month, and webinars cost $11.99 a month
• Not for you if you want a flat price without fees, as Scale has no published price and is quoted by sales
• Skip it if you want to pass processing fees to buyers without moving to Plus and Eventzilla Payments
