Why People Switch from Eventbrite

Ticketing Overhead for Simple Signups
Setting up an Eventbrite for a volunteer shift or potluck feels like using a sledgehammer for a thumbtack.

Fees on Paid Events
Eventbrite takes a percentage of ticket sales. Even for small community fundraisers, fees add up.
No transaction fees. SignUpReady is a flat monthly price or free. Your community keeps every dollar.

Designed for community organizers. Friendly interface that any parent, teacher, or coach can use.
Excessive Promotional Emails
