Looking for a Luma alternative?
Luma is a solid product — if it works for you, keep using it. But if you want unlimited free events, built-in discovery feeds, and a simpler path from event page to sold ticket, here is how Espeya compares.

When Espeya is the better fit
- You run free community events. Unlimited events, unlimited guests, reminders, and check-in — at no cost, with no per-event caps.
- You sell tickets and care about fees. Espeya takes 5% on paid tickets on the free plan, and 0% on Espeya Plus ($59/month billed annually).
- You want discovery, not just a page. Every public event surfaces in city and category feeds, so people who don’t follow you yet can still find you.
When Luma may suit you better
Luma has been around longer and has a mature integrations ecosystem. If your community already lives on Luma calendars, switching has a real cost — weigh it honestly.
Switching from Luma
- Export your guest list from Luma as CSV.
- Create your event on Espeya and import the CSV.
- Send one blast telling guests where the new page lives.
