How much does Eventbrite charge per ticket in Australia?
Eventbrite charges 5.35% of the ticket price plus A$1.19 per ticket. By default it's added to the buyer at checkout, so the organiser keeps the full ticket price. If the organiser absorbs it instead, it comes out of their payout: $5.20 on a $75 ticket.

Fee comparison
By default, both platforms add the fee to the buyer, so the organiser keeps 100% of face value on either. What differs is how much the buyer pays, plus how you get your attendee list and whether you earn on resale.
Tickify's fee is always paid by the ticket buyer. The organiser receives the full face value of every ticket sold: $75 ticket, $75 payout. No deductions, no surprises.
On Eventbrite, the 5.35% + A$1.19/ticket fee is added to the buyer by default too, so the organiser also keeps 100% of face value (organisers can choose to absorb it instead). The difference the buyer feels: Eventbrite's fee is higher than Tickify's flat 5% at every price point.
Example: 200 tickets at $75 each
On a 200-ticket event at $75, the organiser nets the same $15,000 on both, because the buyer pays the fee by default. What the buyer feels is the difference: $80.20 per ticket on Eventbrite vs $78.75 on Tickify. And the organiser keeps their attendee data and earns on resale, which Eventbrite does not offer.
Note: an organiser can choose to absorb Eventbrite's fee instead, which lowers the buyer's price but takes 5.35% + A$1.19 per ticket out of the organiser's revenue. On Tickify the buyer always pays, so the organiser never absorbs a fee.

Who owns your audience after the event?
Both platforms let you export your attendee list. Here is how they compare.
On Eventbrite, you can export a CSV of your attendees' names and emails. Buyers also have an Eventbrite account, which Eventbrite can use to recommend other events to them.
On Tickify, you can export the full list at any time, before, during, or after your event, and you keep that access even if you stop using Tickify. As on Eventbrite, buyers who create a Tickify account are Tickify customers too.
