The difference
Where Regaw goes further than Eventbrite
Eventbrite is event software — great at the guest list, but software all the same. Regaw is a complete event-support platform, so beyond RSVP and check-in you also get the parts of an event a software tool leaves you to arrange yourself.
- Custom cakes designed and delivered
- Décor, styling and event rentals
- A creative studio for invites and signage
- Vendor sourcing handled for you
- A human concierge who runs the day
Our take
Should you choose Regaw or Eventbrite?
For selling tickets to a public event, Eventbrite is hard to beat. But it is a ticketing SaaS, not a host for an intimate, private celebration — no meal-choice RSVP, per-ticket fees add up, and there are no event services. Regaw is the better fit for weddings, showers and private events that want personal RSVP, check-in and a fully-supported day.
Loved by hosts
What our clients say
“We started just wanting an RSVP page and ended up letting Regaw handle the cake, the décor and check-in on the day. It was one team instead of five vendors.”
“The QR check-in was flawless and guests loved their personalized pages — but the real win was not having to coordinate everything myself.”
“I compared Regaw to the usual invite apps. They stopped at the guest list; Regaw actually ran the event.”
Questions
Regaw vs Eventbrite: FAQs
Is Regaw a good Eventbrite alternative?
If you like Eventbrite but want more than an invitation and RSVP tool, yes. Regaw matches the RSVP essentials and adds QR check-in, a full event website, custom branding, and — unlike Eventbrite — real event services: cakes, décor, rentals and a concierge who can plan and run your event.
Is Regaw just another RSVP tool?
No. Regaw includes everything an RSVP tool does — custom RSVP forms, guest tracking, reminders and QR check-in — but it is a complete event-support platform. Beyond the guest list you also get an event website, custom branding, and real event services: cakes, décor, rentals, creative design, and a human concierge who can plan and run the day for you.
Does Regaw offer QR code check-in at the door?
Yes. Every guest can receive a unique QR code, and staff or ushers can scan across multiple devices in real time, including household/family check-in and a self-service kiosk mode. A few RSVP tools also offer door check-in — the difference is that Regaw bundles it inside a full event platform rather than a standalone invite app.
Can I build a full event website with Regaw?
Yes. Regaw includes an event landing-page builder with rich blocks, password protection and privacy controls, all in your own branding. Most RSVP-only tools offer at most a single invitation page; wedding tools like Joy and Zola offer a website but only for weddings.
Is there a free version of Regaw?
Yes. Regaw has a free Essentials tier so you can create an event, collect RSVPs and check guests in at no cost. Paid tiers — including a flat-fee Concierge option — unlock full-service planning and premium tools when you need them.
What can Regaw do that RSVP platforms cannot?
The clearest difference is full-service execution. RSVP and invitation platforms are software — they manage the guest list and stop there. Regaw can also design and deliver your cake, style your décor, provide rentals, source and manage vendors, create your invitations and signage, and send a concierge to coordinate the event itself.
How much does Regaw cost compared to RSVP tools?
Regaw starts free and uses transparent, flat pricing with no per-ticket fees — its Concierge tier is a flat fee rather than a percentage of every ticket. Many RSVP platforms charge per-guest, per-event, or per-ticket, and gate branding or check-in behind higher paid plans. Always confirm current pricing on each provider’s site.
