Eventzilla vs Greenvelope
Short answer: Eventzilla is the cheaper of the two. Eventzilla works out to Free (free event); $150 for 100 paid registrations on Basic for 100 guests and Free (free event); $375 for 250 paid registrations on Basic for 250. Greenvelope works out to $99 (single mailing, up to 100 guests) for 100 guests and $249 (single mailing, up to 250 guests) for 250. Greenvelope earns the difference if you need flat per-mailing price, not per-recipient credits, so cost is known up front.
If neither answer fits, Dawat does the same job free at any guest count: 53 card designs, unlimited guests, per-guest personal links and RSVP tracking, with no per-recipient charge.
Eventzilla and Greenvelope are built for different jobs, so the comparison is less about features and more about which job you are actually doing.

Side by side
Event registration and ticketing platform with forms, agendas, seating, check-in, and email invitations for conferences and classes. Digital-only invitation service with animated envelope opening, email and text delivery, and RSVP tracking, priced per mailing. Dawat is shown as a third column for the guest-list half of the job. It does not sell tickets or take payment from guests, so for a paid public event it is not a substitute.

Where they actually differ
Both give you tracking who has replied and sending by email, so those are not the thing to decide on.
- Free to send. Eventzilla includes sending invitations without paying outright; on Greenvelope it is limited or tied to a paid tier.
- Unlimited guests. Eventzilla supports an uncapped guest list; Greenvelope does not.
- Custom RSVP questions. Greenvelope includes asking your own questions outright; on Eventzilla it is limited or tied to a paid tier.
- SMS or WhatsApp. Greenvelope supports sending by text or WhatsApp. Eventzilla 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. Eventzilla 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. Eventzilla does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- Animated envelope. Greenvelope supports an animated envelope opening; Eventzilla does not.
- Guest account required. Greenvelope does not do this. Eventzilla does not publish whether it does, so it is worth checking before you send.
When Eventzilla is the better choice
Conference, workshop, and training organisers who want low flat per-registration pricing and detailed registration forms.
- Free events are explicitly free, with no setup or monthly fee
- Flat $1.50 per registration on Basic does not scale with price
- Email invitations to imported contact lists with personalised placeholders
- Seating designer, discount codes, and custom forms on paid tiers
- Supports USD, GBP, AUD, CAD, and EUR
Where it costs you:
- Basic plan allows only one paid ticket type
- Payment processing fees are charged separately on top of platform fees
- White-labelled registration requires the higher-priced Plus plan
- Per-registration pricing means costs grow with attendee count
- The $1,999/year plan includes only 500 registrations before extra cost
When Greenvelope is the better choice
Hosts of a single sizeable event who want polished digital invitations and detailed RSVP data for one predictable flat fee.
- Flat per-mailing price, not per-recipient credits, so cost is known up front
- Custom RSVP questions, meal preferences and dietary notes included at every paid tier
- Email, SMS and WhatsApp delivery, with open and delivery tracking
- Ad-free for hosts and guests; guests never create an account to reply
- Signature animated envelope opening with personalized liner
Where it costs you:
- Price is tiered by guest count, so larger lists cost more per mailing
- Digital only; Greenvelope does not print or mail paper invitations
- Paid accounts include up to 500 text messages; more cost extra
- Free trial caps a real send at 10 recipients
- No standalone event website builder, only a details panel on the invitation
What each one costs, in dollars
Neither Eventzilla 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.
| Eventzilla | Greenvelope | Dawat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Fee per ticket or registration | One-time fee per event | Free |
| 100 guests | Free (free event); $150 for 100 paid registrations on Basic | $99 (single mailing, up to 100 guests) | Free |
| 250 guests | Free (free event); $375 for 250 paid registrations on Basic | $249 (single mailing, up to 250 guests) | Free |
| How that is worked out | Basic plan's published $1.50 per paid registration multiplied by volume; payment processing is billed separately by the provider. | 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: Free events are free. Paid registrations cost $1.50 each on Basic, 1.9% + $1.50 on Pro, and 2.9% + $1.50 on Plus; an annual plan is $1,999/year including 500 registrations. 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
Eventzilla and Greenvelope both want money before your guests see anything. Eventzilla works out to Free (free event); $150 for 100 paid registrations on Basic for 100 guests and Free (free event); $375 for 250 paid registrations on Basic for 250. 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
Ticketing platforms are built around a stranger buying entry. A guest you already know is a different person with a different tolerance, and an account-creation screen is where that difference shows up.

Which is better for a wedding, Eventzilla or Greenvelope?
Eventzilla suits conference, workshop, and training organisers who want low flat per-registration pricing and detailed registration forms. Greenvelope suits hosts of a single sizeable event who want polished digital invitations and detailed RSVP data for one predictable flat fee. For a wedding specifically, the questions that matter are whether the invitation feels like an occasion, whether you can collect meal choices, and whether the price moves with the guest list.
Do guests need an account to reply on Eventzilla or Greenvelope?
Eventzilla does not publish whether guests need an account. Greenvelope does not require guests to have an account. Anything that makes a guest sign up before replying costs you responses, particularly from older relatives.
Is there a free alternative to Eventzilla and Greenvelope?
Yes. Dawat is free at every guest count: all 53 card designs, unlimited guests, unlimited sends, RSVP tracking with your own questions, and a personally addressed link for each guest. There is no per-recipient charge and no card required to send. The only paid item is a Dawat Signature cinematic experience at $89 once per event.
Is Eventzilla free?
For free events, yes. Eventzilla's support documentation says it is completely free for simple events such as social gatherings and meetups where attendees are not charged. Paid events are billed per registration according to the plan you choose.
Is Greenvelope free?
There is a free trial rather than a free plan. You can create an account, design an invitation, preview the complete guest experience and send a real mailing to up to 10 people with no credit card. Beyond 10 recipients you pay a one-time mailing fee starting at $19.
