Is Traube free to use?

Yes. Hosting a community page and events on Traube is free forever. No ticket fees, no organizer fees, no member paywalls.

What is the difference between Eventbrite and Traube?

Eventbrite is built for one-off ticketed events and charges a service fee per ticket. Traube is built for recurring communities, with free member chat, newsletters, and contact export. No per-ticket fees.

Can I import my contacts from Eventbrite to Traube?

Yes. You can import your existing contacts to Traube and send them a newsletter to let your community know where to find you.

The Eventbrite alternative

Eventbrite charges per ticket. Your community shouldn't fund it.

Free events are always free. Paid tickets: 5% + Stripe's card fee. No fixed service charge per ticket.

Free forever for communities

The price of using Eventbrite

Eventbrite's fixed fee hurts most on cheap tickets.

Eventbrite charges 3.7%–5.5% plus a fixed €0.99–€1.79 per ticket, then adds 2.9% payment processing on top. On a €10 ticket that can exceed 17% in total fees. Traube charges 5% + Stripe's card fee — no fixed per-ticket charge. Free events cost nothing.
