AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Meetup Pro excels in community management with features like Group Tools (9.0) and Community Hub (8.8), making it ideal for organizations focused on building strong member connections. In contrast, Eventbrite's community features are less robust, with a lower score in Member Analytics (8.3).
- Reviewers mention that Eventbrite shines in event promotion, scoring 9.2 in Event Promotion, which is enhanced by its strong social media integration (8.4). Meetup Pro, while effective, does not match this level of promotion capability, particularly in social media promotion (8.8).
- G2 users highlight Meetup Pro's superior user permissions (9.2) and branding options (9.3), allowing for a more tailored experience for event organizers. Eventbrite, while offering decent customization, falls short in these areas with lower scores in Branding (8.7).
- Users on G2 report that Eventbrite's ease of use (9.0) and setup (8.9) make it a more user-friendly option for new users, while Meetup Pro, although still easy to use (8.7), does not provide the same level of intuitive experience.
- Reviewers mention that Meetup Pro's event creation feature (9.1) is highly rated, allowing for detailed customization of events, whereas Eventbrite's event creation (9.3) is also strong but lacks some of the community-focused features that Meetup Pro offers.
- Users say that both platforms provide solid analytics, but Meetup Pro's Event Analytics (9.0) is noted for its depth in community engagement metrics, while Eventbrite's reporting and dashboards (8.7) are more focused on ticket sales and revenue generation.

The platform is really friendly and clear. It is easy to plan an event for the first time. being able to do white branding is really a plus.

Connecting my event to a Facebook page I manage did not work. They've done an excellent job hiding a support request form, but have not responded to my request for help.

I think that the concept is absolutely great of course, but honestly you can get the same services from free platforms and social media sites.
