Yep. Used it to organize a social entrepreneurship meetup and as the group grew, the cost quickly ended up being too much and we moved over to email newsletter with Eventbrite. This isn't fundamentally expensive for a business, but when you are just running a group to casually meet people and there's no commercial value to your group, this quickly end up being an expense that you want to avoid. We were told to just ask members of the group to contribute, but that's another friction. The other friction is that meetup emails were getting a little bit too much and most people don't want to get emails every week telling them which group they should join, which makes Eventbrite more attractive (a simple reminder the day before the event and that's it).
