Event Smart
What it is
Event Smart helps organizers build event websites for registrations, payments, and ticket sales. It supports formats such as classes, conferences, workshops, seminars, performances, festivals, and fundraisers. Organizers can offer multiple ticket or registration types, collect attendee details, and download attendee lists. Event Smart says it charges no ticket commission or per-ticket fees, although payment gateways may apply transaction charges. The Basic plan is free and permits unlimited events, but displays ads and treats custom questions and card payments as paid upgrades. Personal costs $50 a month, billed monthly; Business costs $100 a month, billed monthly, and includes QR or barcode tickets and scanning, promo codes, waitlists, an event cart, and Google Analytics. New accounts receive a 14-day Business trial without providing billing information. After the trial, premium features are removed while event and attendee data remain. The service also supports check-in through Event Espresso mobile apps for iOS and Android, with an active check-in feature subscription required unless included in a plan.
