Eventeny vs Crowd for a fair or a convention

How does Crowd pricing compare with Eventeny?
Eventeny publishes four plans, Basic at US$0 and Starter, Plus and Pro at US$60, US$120 and US$240 a month on an annual basis, plus a 3 to 5 per cent transaction fee on sales and card fees on top. Crowd is one licence: from US$29 per seat a month on Starter, pay as you go, or US$399 per seat a month on Growth with no sales fees. Ticket, booth and sponsorship sales are all in it, plus Stripe's card fee. Figures as published in August 2026.
Does Crowd do vendor and exhibitor management like Eventeny?
Yes. Exhibitors apply online, you approve, waitlist or decline, they pay a deposit and the balance on your date, they pick a booth on your floor plan if you use one, and their staff badges print at the door. The difference is the commercial story is on the page, not buried: deposits, balances and the price of the licence are the headline, not an FAQ.
Where does the money go?
Into your own Stripe account, on Stripe’s schedule. Crowd is not in the payout path and holds nothing. Eventeny states funds are typically transferred next day; with Crowd there is no transfer step because the sale settled to you in the first place.
Can I run a festival, a fair or a convention on Crowd?
Yes. The platform was built for organiser-owned shows that live on booth, ticket and sponsorship revenue: comic cons, craft fairs, home shows, food festivals, trade shows. The vertical pages in the footer show how each one runs, with live demo events you can buy a ticket from.
What about the schedule, volunteers and mapping?
Session tickets with caps and per-type check-in counts are in; a volunteer roster and a public programme builder are not, and we would rather say so than sell a module. Floor plans are an opt-in per organiser, placed inside the booth purchase after type and quantity, never a browse-first map.
Does Crowd pay my suppliers too?
Yes, and Eventeny does not. Invoices are emailed to your event’s own address, read and matched to your budget, approved by you and paid on schedule from the show ledger, with daily sales posting to Xero. The show earns and spends in one place.
Can we start with one event?
Yes. Create the event, connect Stripe, publish, and you are selling the same day. Book onboarding and we will set it up with you.
