Where they actually differ
Both give you tracking who has replied and sending by email, so those are not the thing to decide on.
- Per-guest fees. Greenvelope does this in some cases; Appy Couple does not. If no per-recipient charge matters to you, that is a point for Appy Couple.
- Unlimited guests. Appy Couple supports an uncapped guest list; Greenvelope does not.
- Custom RSVP questions. Greenvelope supports asking your own questions. Appy Couple does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- SMS or WhatsApp. Greenvelope supports sending by text or WhatsApp. Appy Couple does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- Per-guest personal links. Greenvelope supports a personally addressed link per guest. Appy Couple does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- Open tracking. Greenvelope supports seeing who opened the invitation. Appy Couple does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- Animated envelope. Greenvelope supports an animated envelope opening. Appy Couple does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- Guest account required. Greenvelope does not do this. Appy Couple does not publish whether it does, so it is worth checking before you send.

What each one costs, in dollars
Neither Appy Couple nor Greenvelope bills by guest count, which puts them among the 26 platforms in this dataset that do not.
Published prices, converted into what you would actually pay for a real guest list. Credits, coins and per-card pricing are translated into dollars because that is the number you are deciding with.
| Appy Couple | Greenvelope | Dawat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Subscription | One-time fee per event | Free |
| 100 guests | $99 (annual plan) | $99 (single mailing, up to 100 guests) | Free |
| 250 guests | $99 (annual plan) | $249 (single mailing, up to 250 guests) | Free |
| How that is worked out | Pricing is a flat subscription with unlimited guest list entries and RSVPs, so cost does not change with guest count. | Greenvelope's own published single-mailing tiers; delivery is digital so there is no printing or postage cost. | Dawat has no per-guest or per-send charge, so the guest count does not change the price. |
As of September 2026: One package covering website, guest app and digital invites at $99 per year or $12 per month, cancellable any time; custom domains cost extra, most about $19.99 per year. Flat one-time fee per mailing set by guest-list size: $19 up to 20 guests, $59 up to 60, $99 up to 100, $249 up to 250. Annual memberships from $125.
The third option: the same job, at no cost
Appy Couple and Greenvelope both want money before your guests see anything. Appy Couple works out to $99 (annual plan) at both 100 and 250 guests. Greenvelope works out to $99 (single mailing, up to 100 guests) for 100 guests and $249 (single mailing, up to 250 guests) for 250. It is worth knowing that the whole job — design, sending, replies, reminders — is available for nothing.
Dawat tracks replies the same way both of these do, and costs nothing to do it. All 53 card designs, unlimited guests and unlimited sends are free, with no card required. What the other two do not do is address each guest personally: the envelope opens with that guest's name on it and their reply is one tap.
The honest caveats: Dawat is digital only, so it will not print and mail stationery, and it does not sell tickets. The optional Dawat Signature experiences are $89 once per event, and they are labelled as paid before you publish — nothing else is.

What your guests experience
A wedding guest is usually being asked to do three things at once: read the details, reply, and find the registry. How many taps that takes is the difference between a finished guest list and six weeks of chasing.
