Comparison

Eventzilla vs Mixily

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. Mixily works out to $19 (one month of Lite) for 100 guests and $29 (one month of Pro) for 250. Mixily earns the difference if you need no ads on event pages on any plan, including the free plan.

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 Mixily 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. Web-based event invitation and RSVP tool with ad-free event pages, custom RSVP questions and automatic reminders. 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 sending invitations without paying, tracking who has replied and sending by email, so those are not the thing to decide on.

When Eventzilla is the better choice

Conference, workshop, and training organisers who want low flat per-registration pricing and detailed registration forms.

Where it costs you:

When Mixily is the better choice

Hosts who want ad-free, no-account RSVP collection with custom questions and will pay a single month's subscription.

Where it costs you:

What each one costs, in dollars

Neither Eventzilla nor Mixily 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.

EventzillaMixilyDawat
Pricing modelFee per ticket or registrationFree tier, paid upgradesFree
100 guestsFree (free event); $150 for 100 paid registrations on Basic$19 (one month of Lite)Free
250 guestsFree (free event); $375 for 250 paid registrations on Basic$29 (one month of Pro)Free
How that is worked outBasic plan's published $1.50 per paid registration multiplied by volume; payment processing is billed separately by the provider.Free plan caps at 50 invites, so 100 guests needs Lite and 250 needs Pro; plans are monthly with no contract.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. Free plan covers 50 invites and 40 RSVPs per event; Lite $19/month (100/100), Pro $29/month (250/250), Plus $79/month (1,500/1,500).

The third option: something that feels like an invitation

Neither Eventzilla nor Mixily is trying to make the moment of opening feel like anything. They collect the answer. For a birthday drinks thread that is exactly right; for a wedding, a nikkah or a milestone, the invitation is part of the event.

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 practical difference shows up the week before the event. Instead of counting replies across a group chat, you open one page and see who was sent it, who opened it, and who answered.

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.

Questions

Is Eventzilla or Mixily cheaper?

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. Mixily works out to $19 (one month of Lite) for 100 guests and $29 (one month of Pro) for 250. Neither charges by guest count, so the difference does not grow with the list. Both were checked on 2026-09-16.

Which is better for a wedding, Eventzilla or Mixily?

Eventzilla suits conference, workshop, and training organisers who want low flat per-registration pricing and detailed registration forms. Mixily suits hosts who want ad-free, no-account RSVP collection with custom questions and will pay a single month's subscription. 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 Mixily?

Eventzilla does not publish whether guests need an account. Mixily does not require guests to have an account. Anything that makes a guest sign up before replying costs you responses, particularly from older relatives.

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 Mixily free?

Yes, Mixily has a permanent free plan. It covers 50 invites and 40 RSVPs per event, 2 active events at a time, and 200 emails per week. Paid plans start at $19/month. Mixily states it shows no ads on any plan, including free.

How these figures were checked

Every figure above was read from Eventzilla and Mixily's own published pricing or help pages on 16 September 2026, and each source is linked below.

Reading this through an AI assistant? Dawat runs an MCP server, so ChatGPT or Claude can choose the design, write the wording, add your guest list, publish the invitation and send it without you leaving the conversation. Eventzilla does not publish one.
