Detailed Review
Eventfrog combines a public event agenda with a ticket shop. The pricing page describes listing events as 100% fee-free, and selling tickets in a Free model at CHF 0, with optional Plus and Pro models that add further functions for a fee.
The imprint names Eventfrog AG, Neuhardstrasse 38, 4600 Olten, registered in the canton of Solothurn (VAT number CHE-329.064.459). The site runs under eventfrog.ch, eventfrog.de and eventfrog.at.
Three Event Models
Every event starts in the Free model. Moving to Plus (CHF 0.49 plus 2.4% of the ticket price) or Pro (CHF 0.49 plus 3.6%) requires the organiser to agree, and adds extended or all functions, including the option to pass fees on to ticket buyers in Pro.
All three models include online payments through Eventfrog, tickets free of third-party advertising and payout after the event.
Payments and Tickets
Buyers can pay by TWINT, credit card, Google Pay or Apple Pay. Tickets can be printed at home or shown on a phone, and the shop can be embedded in your site via iFrame.
Organisers get real-time sales statistics, buyer data exports and Excel or PDF settlement exports.
Agenda Reach
The page describes the free listing as the largest event agenda in Switzerland, and the app lists more than 25,000 events. That audience is the main difference from software-only tools.
Limitations to Consider
Eventfrog is centred on the Swiss, German and Austrian markets, and fees are shown in Swiss francs. Payout after the event is listed for the Free and Plus models, so organisers cannot use ticket revenue to pre-finance an event. The pages reviewed do not state where data is hosted. For a platform with pre-payment, see Billetto.
Who Should Use Eventfrog
Event organisers in Switzerland and the DACH region who want agenda exposure and ticketing at no fixed cost.
