All Brella details taken from brella.io, seen 07/08/2026. No figure is quoted for Brella because Brella publishes none - that is the finding rather than a gap in our research.
The redirect is the story.
On 07/08/2026, brella.io/pricing answers with a redirect to their features page. Not an empty pricing page, not a "contact us" pricing page - the URL a buyer types when they want to know the cost sends them to a list of features instead. There are no plan names on the site, no tier names, and not one number.
Presso's platform fee is a flat 1% of ticket sales, VAT included - not 1% plus VAT. No tiers, no minimum, nothing to pay until a paid ticket sells. If you are VAT registered you reclaim the VAT anyway, so your real cost is 0.833%. It is on the pricing page, and it will still be there whether or not you ever talk to us.
Talk to an event expert
No pricing page, no plan names, no figures. The number arrives after a sales conversation. Seen 07/08/2026.
1% of ticket sales
Published, VAT included, no tiers. Free until your first paid ticket sells, and free tickets stay free.
A fee that moves with your revenue.
Because Brella publishes nothing, we cannot tell you what their fee tracks and we are not going to guess. What we can tell you is what Presso's tracks: ticket sales, and nothing else. Not seats, not registrants, not events per year. A quiet event costs less because it sold less, and a sold-out one never triggers a licence conversation.
The only second number is Presso Pro at £49 a month or £490 a year, for running Presso Events on your own domain with your own branding. It is an add-on rather than a tier, and everything works without it.
When Brella is the better choice.
This section is longer than on our other comparison pages, because Brella beats Presso in more places than most.
Their matchmaking is better than ours. Not slightly.Intent-based AI matchmaking and 1:1 meeting booking are what Brella is for, and they have spent years on it. If the reason your event exists is that the right two people meet, that is the product to buy and we would rather tell you now than after you have signed up with us.
The no-download argument does not work against Brella.We make it on other pages because it is true there. It is not true here: Brella lists a responsive web app for every device alongside its native iOS and Android apps, so attendees can join in a browser exactly as they can with Presso. On this comparison, that is a draw, and pretending otherwise would be the kind of claim this whole page is arguing against.
They are also deeper on sponsor tooling with a dedicated sponsor admin panel, carry 500+ integrations, and offer embeddable schedule, speaker, ticketing and sponsor widgets for your own site. Presso has none of that breadth.
Presso's case is narrower and it is mostly about the money: a published flat 1% instead of a quote, no contract to sign, and setup in a sentence rather than a demo. If knowing the price before you commit matters more to you than best-in-class matchmaking, that is when to pick Presso.
Brella vs Presso, answered.
How much does Brella cost?
Brella does not publish a price. As of 07/08/2026 brella.io/pricing redirects to a features page, and no plan names, tier names or figures appear anywhere on the site - every route is "Talk to an event expert". You find out what Brella costs by starting a sales conversation. Presso publishes a flat 1% of ticket sales, VAT included, with no minimum.
Does Brella require attendees to download an app?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Brella lists a "responsive web app for every device" alongside its native iOS and Android apps (seen 07/08/2026), so attendees can join in a browser. That is the same approach Presso takes, and it is one of the few event platforms where the no-download question is genuinely a draw rather than a difference.
Is there a Brella alternative with published pricing?
Presso. A flat 1% of ticket sales, VAT included, with no minimum, no tiers and no annual commitment - published on the pricing page rather than quoted at the end of a demo. You can work out what an event costs before speaking to anyone.
Is Presso's matchmaking as good as Brella's?
No. Brella's AI matchmaking is the thing Brella is known for and it is genuinely deeper than anything Presso offers. If intent-based matchmaking and 1:1 meeting booking are the reason your event exists, Brella is the stronger product and you should buy it.
Does Brella do ticketing as well as networking?
Yes. Brella lists built-in registration and ticketing, Stripe payments for tickets, and third-party ticketing integrations (seen 07/08/2026), so it is not networking-only. The difference is what each costs: Presso's ticketing is a published flat 1% of sales, and Brella's total is a quote.
