# Create a free event (no per-attendee fee)

> You're running a volunteer, non-profit or educational event — you want a tool that doesn't take a cut of the registrations. JustOneEvent's Free plan does exactly that.

## The typical case

Sophie is treasurer at a neighborhood non-profit running an annual yard sale (30 vendors, free). Before: spreadsheet shared by email, constant duplicates, missing entries. Now: 1 link to share, the vendor list updated live in the dashboard on the morning of the event. Cost to the org: €0.

## 3 tips to maximize the Free plan

- **1 active event** — The Free plan publishes one event at a time. Once the date passes, you can create a new one. For concurrent events, upgrade to Premium (€9/month).
- **30 participants per event** — 30 participants cover most community events. Once the event is full, newcomers join the waitlist; when the event is over, you can publish another one.
- **GDPR included** — Hosted in France (Azure FR Central), automatic deletion of events and their registrations 3 months after the date (default setting), 1-click GDPR export of your account data. No hidden cost.
