Comparison
Lippunet vs lippu.light
lippu.light is free and offers access to the lippu.fi audience, but charges the buyer 12%. Lippunet lets you own the shop, the brand and the data with Finnish payment methods.
lippu.light is the self-service product of Lippupiste Oy (lippu.fi / CTS Eventim) — technically EVENTIM.Light. It's the most direct competitor on this list: same SMB and long-tail organizer target, self-service, embed, box office and a scanner app. The difference is ownership, the pricing model and Finnish localization. Here's an honest comparison.
