Key Takeaway

Send on-brand invites, collect RSVPs, and check hundreds of guests in — without Eventbrite's fees or enterprise tools.

The short answer

You don't need enterprise event software to run a 300-person gala. Send an on-brand invite, collect RSVPs, and check guests in with QR passes at the door — across multiple entrances — for a flat $99/year on Bloomvite, with none of Eventbrite's per-ticket fees.

Bloomvite's Premium plan covers unlimited events and up to 1,000 guests each, with QR door check-in on every one. Two greeters scan at two doors and the live count stays in sync — no hardware, no per-ticket cut.
