# A HeadBox alternative that *writes to the venues*

HeadBox is a UK-led venue marketplace with a platform for businesses and AI-picked options. Eventier is an assistant for any event: it finds venues, writes to them once you approve, chases the quiet ones and lays the answers side by side.

Checked October 2026 against HeadBox’s own pages.

## Pick HeadBox if

- You book venues for a company team and want billing in one place
- Your event is in London or another city HeadBox covers
- You want options picked for you to browse and compare

## Pick Eventier if

- Your event is personal, or somewhere HeadBox doesn’t cover
- You want the enquiries written, sent and chased for you
- You want a price you know before you start

## Side by side

| What | HeadBox | Eventier |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What it is | A venue marketplace and a platform for businesses | An assistant that finds venues for your event and does the enquiries for you |
| Where | UK-led: London, New York, Sydney, Singapore, and Australia and New Zealand | Anywhere it can find venues on the web. Its own list is deepest in Perth; elsewhere it searches venues’ websites live, which takes a few minutes |
| Finding venues | AI-picked options for your event | A shortlist for your event and a top three, each fact linked to the page it came from |
| Who writes to the venues | Not mentioned on their site | Eventier, under your name from an Eventier address of your own, after you approve each email |
| Comparing | They say you can compare options side by side | Read from each reply and laid side by side: the date, the quote, what’s included, what they need from you |
| Cost to you | Not mentioned on their site | Free to find venues and write the emails. A$11.99 to send an event’s enquiries, or A$39.99 a year for every event |
| Who pays the business | Free for venues to list; what planners pay isn’t on their site | You. Venues can’t pay to appear or rank |

## The same event, both ways

### With HeadBox

1. Describe your event
2. Look through the options picked for you
3. Compare them side by side
4. Book, with billing for your team in one place

### With Eventier

1. Say the event in one message
2. Approve the emails Eventier writes to each venue you pick
3. Get an email when a venue replies
4. Pick from the answers, side by side

## Where Eventier falls short

- HeadBox is built for company teams, with billing in one place. Eventier has no team accounts or central billing.
- Sending isn’t free: an Event Pass is A$11.99 for an event, or Eventier Pro A$39.99 a year.
- Its own venue list is deepest in Perth. Elsewhere it searches venues’ websites live, so a search takes a few minutes, and it has been tested most on Australian events.
- It never books or takes payment: the contract and the deposit are between you and the venue.
- It writes emails. It doesn’t phone venues.

## Questions

### Is HeadBox only for companies?

Its site describes a marketplace and a platform for businesses. It doesn’t say what planners pay.

### Can I use Eventier for a work event?

Yes. Any event that needs a room: work events, birthdays, launches, reunions.

### Does Eventier send anything without asking?

No. Every enquiry and reply waits for you to approve it. Follow-ups wait too, unless you turn on automatic follow-ups.

## Try it on your event.

Tell Eventier what you’re planning. It finds the venues that fit and writes to them once you say yes.

Free to find venues and write the emails.
