Which event ticketing platform should I use?

KonfHub, for paid events in India: it bills in rupees and charges only on paid tickets. Free-ticket events cost nothing up to 100 registrations, Lite takes 2.5% plus 18% GST for small UPI-only events up to 300, and Silver takes 3.75% plus GST with gateway charges included, up to 2,500. Luma is the cleanest page for meetups and a community calendar: free with unlimited events and guests and reminders on email, SMS and WhatsApp, a 5% platform fee on paid tickets, or Luma Plus at $59 a month billed annually for 0%. Zoho Backstage charges 0% commission and suits a conference with sessions and speakers: free up to 100 attendees, Professional ₹6,583 a month billed yearly. Eventbrite fits an event abroad: free events cost nothing, paid tickets carry 3.7% plus $1.79 and 2.9% processing on its US price list. Townscript has shut down. The rule: Luma for free community events, KonfHub for paid Indian ones, Zoho Backstage for a multi-track conference.
