# A Peerspace alternative that *asks the venues* for you

Peerspace is a marketplace where you book a space by the hour and pay online. Eventier is an assistant: it finds venues for your event, writes to them from your own Eventier address and compares their answers. Here’s how they differ.

Checked October 2026 against Peerspace’s own pages.

## Pick Peerspace if

- You want a distinctive space, like a studio or a loft, by the hour
- You want to book and pay online in one go
- Your event is in a city Peerspace covers

## Pick Eventier if

- You want function rooms, pubs, halls and restaurants found from venues’ own websites, not only one marketplace’s listings
- You’d rather someone wrote to the venues and chased them
- You want the answers compared side by side

## Side by side

| What | Peerspace | Eventier |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What it is | A marketplace for booking spaces by the hour | An assistant that finds venues for your event and does the enquiries for you |
| Where | The US, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Spain and cities in Australia | 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 |
| Who contacts the venues | You book or message hosts yourself | Eventier, under your name from an Eventier address of your own, after you approve each email |
| Booking and paying | Online, through Peerspace | Never books or pays. You book with the venue you choose |
| Follow-ups and comparing | Not mentioned on their site | A polite follow-up for you to send after three working days, then one more. After two, it shows you their phone number. Read from each reply and laid side by side: the date, the quote, what’s included, what they need from you |
| Cost to you | A processing fee on bookings | 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 | Hosts pay 15–20%, and guests a processing fee | You. Venues can’t pay to appear or rank |

## The same event, both ways

### With Peerspace

1. Search spaces in your city
2. Message hosts or book a time
3. Pay online
4. Turn up

### With Eventier

1. Say the event in one message
2. Approve the emails Eventier writes to each venue
3. Get an email when a venue replies
4. Pick from the answers and book with the venue

## Where Eventier falls short

- Peerspace lets you book and pay in one place. With Eventier, you still book and pay the venue yourself.
- 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 Peerspace free for guests?

Peerspace says guests pay a processing fee on bookings, and hosts pay 15–20%.

### Can Eventier book a space for me?

No. It finds venues, writes to them and compares their answers. You book and pay the venue directly.

### 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.
