COMPARISON
hapily
vs. Eventbrite

Why settle for a disconnected integration when you can manage events natively in HubSpot? No third-party tools. No syncing headaches. Just seamless events, start to finish.

event vs eventbrite

 

If you're using Eventbrite with HubSpot, you're probably all too familiar with the struggle —disconnected data, clunky integrations, and missing insights where you need them most.

hapily changes the game by keeping everything inside HubSpot, so you can plan, track, and report on events without messy workarounds.

Let's check out the differences between native event management with hapily and using a third-party tool like Eventbrite.

Spoiler: One of these actually makes your life easier 😉

1. How does registration work?

 

hapily logo

Use HubSpot Forms and Workflows for a seamless, native registration experience.

Registration Page
vs icon

You're stuck with Eventbrite’s registration pages— no HubSpot forms or landing pages allowed.

2. Can it handle multiple sessions in a single event?

 

hapily logo

YES! A dedicated Session Object ensures each session is individually managed and represented in HubSpot.

Session Object
vs icon

eventbrite logo

NO. While Eventbrite has "Agendas," they’re not reflected in HubSpot, and attendees can't register for individual sessions.

3. Are there separate records for registrations?

 

hapily logo

YES! Track attendance, trigger automation, collect feedback, and build better reports.

Track Attendance
vs icon

eventbrite logo

NO. Registration data is hidden — custom question responses don’t sync, and all you get is an email address inside the Marketing Event Record.

Registered Contacts

 

 

4. Can you use workflows to register contacts for an event?

 

hapily logo

YES! Built-in workflow actions let you register contacts for events automatically.

HubSpot Forms
vs icon

eventbrite logo

NO. HubSpot workflows can't register contacts for an Eventbrite event.

 

 

5. Can you associate events with other HubSpot objects?

 

hapily logo

YES! Associate events with literally anything in HubSpot, including custom objects.

vs icon

eventbrite logo

NO. You're limited to the Marketing Event object — nothing else.

 

 

6. Can you customize the event record layout?

 

hapily logo

YES! Customize the layout just like any other standard or custom HubSpot object.

Event Stat
vs

eventbrite logo

NO. The layout is locked to Eventbrite’s setup.

7. Can you build custom report UI cards?

 

hapily-logo

YES! Easily visualize registrations over time and track key event metrics.

Event Reports
vs

eventbrite logo

NO. Customization isn't an option — you’re stuck with Eventbrite’s default Marketing Event object.

 

 

8. How do you track attendance?

 

hapily logo

In-Person Tracking Module + QR Code Scanning — no third-party hardware needed.

Associated Contacts
vs

Track attendance through the Eventbrite Organizer app or invest in third-party scanners.

 

 

9. Are there out-of-the-box CMS modules for event registration?

 

hapily logo

YES! Includes HubSpot CMS modules and a full CMS theme for event pages.

CMS Theme
vs

eventbrite logo

NO. HubSpot CMS assets can’t be used for Eventbrite registration — you’re stuck with their in-app pages.

 

 

10. Can you see attended events on contacts?

 

hapily logo

YES! Associations tables and Timeline Events make it easy to see event history.

Attendance Tracking
Activity log
vs

eventbrite logo

NO. Contact timelines show limited event info, and custom question data (e.g., t-shirt size, dietary needs) doesn’t sync.

 

 

11. Does it work for trade show or conference lead capture?

 

hapily logo

YES! Capture contacts as Event Leads and track engagement

More Associated Contacts
vs

eventbrite logo

NO. Eventbrite is designed for hosted events, not lead capture at conferences or trade shows.

 

 

12. Can you track event ROI?

 

hapily logo

YES! Use custom calculated fields and deal attribution workflows to track ROI however you need.

ROI stats
vs

eventbrite logo

NO. There are no customization options for tracking event ROI in HubSpot.

 

 

13. Can you build custom reports?

 

hapily logo

YES! Custom reports are easy with robust registrant and session data.

vs

eventbrite logo

NO. Only two Eventbrite properties sync to the Contact Record, and they are continuously overwritten making reporting difficult.

 

 

14. Can you attribute deals to events?

 

hapily logo

YES! Our Attribute Deal to Event workflow action connects revenue to events.

Deal Attribution to Event
Attribution Workflow
vs

eventbrite logo

NO. Eventbrite’s Marketing Events can’t be linked to deals
