Eventbrite VS. Gametime Hero - 2025 Comparison

Why Indigenous Roots—and Community Organizers Like Them—Are Leaving Eventbrite for Gametime Hero

When you’re organizing events that bring people together—through movement, healing, cultural connection, or grassroots effort—your tools shouldn’t take a chunk out of your mission.

That’s why organizations like Indigenous Roots, a cultural arts nonprofit uplifting Native, Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, are switching to Gametime Hero.

Unlike Eventbrite, which was built for ticketing concerts and conferences, Gametime Hero is made for building active communities. Think meetups, circles, leagues, workshops, or classes—all with a local heartbeat.
