# The Eventbrite alternative that keeps fees low.

Audience: Organisers
Problem: "Fees ate our margin."
Page: https://konec.to/eventbrite-alternative

Konecto is a ticketing and event platform for organisers who want lower fees. Free events cost nothing. Paid tickets carry a single per-ticket fee, set below the major marketplaces, and payouts go directly to the organiser through Stripe.

## Why it happens
- Marketplace fees stack: a platform fee, a payment fee and sometimes a fee on the fee.
- Payouts can wait until after the event, which hurts cash flow.
- The marketplace owns the relationship with your attendees.

## How Konecto fixes it
Konecto checkout runs on Stripe Connect. The buyer pays, Stripe pays you, and Konecto takes one small application fee on paid tickets only. You choose whether the buyer or you covers it.

## Steps
1. Connect Stripe: Create your organisation and connect a Stripe account in a few minutes.
2. Add tickets: Free, paid, hidden or limited. Set prices, capacity and sale dates.
3. Sell: Share your event page. Money lands in your Stripe account, not ours.

## FAQ
### Are free events really free?
Yes. Free and registration-only events carry no Konecto fee.

### Who pays the ticket fee?
You choose per event: pass it to the buyer at checkout or absorb it.

### When do I get paid?
Payouts follow your Stripe account schedule, because the money goes to your Stripe account directly.

### Can I move from Eventbrite?
Yes. Recreate the event in Konecto or ask your AI to do it, then share the new event page. Attendee exports import as CSV.
