Evite vs RSVPify
Short answer: price will not decide this one — both can be used without paying. Choose Evite if hosts of large casual gatherings who want a free, high-capacity invitation and can tolerate advertising beside their event details. Choose RSVPify if organizers who need serious RSVP and registration mechanics, guest-list management and check-in more than they need invitation design.
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.
Evite and RSVPify are built for different jobs, so the comparison is less about features and more about which job you are actually doing.

Where they actually differ
Both give you sending invitations without paying, tracking who has replied, sending by email and letting guests reply without an account, so those are not the thing to decide on.
- Per-guest fees. Evite does this in some cases; RSVPify does not. If no per-recipient charge matters to you, that is a point for RSVPify.
- Open tracking. Evite supports seeing who opened the invitation. RSVPify does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- Event website. RSVPify includes a full event website outright; on Evite it is limited or tied to a paid tier.
- Registry links. Evite supports linking a gift registry. RSVPify does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- Calendar file. Evite supports adding the event to a calendar. RSVPify does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
When Evite is the better choice
Hosts of large casual gatherings who want a free, high-capacity invitation and can tolerate advertising beside their event details.
- Free tier sends to up to 750 guests with no per-recipient charge
- Read receipts and shareable links are available on the free tier
- Delivery by email, text message or shareable link
- Gift registry and website links can be added to the invitation
- Evite Pro covers unlimited invitations up to 2,500 guests for $249.99/year
Where it costs you:
- Free invitations display third-party ads to guests
- Removing ads requires a paid Premium package
- Premium packages are single-event; each new event is charged again
- Animated effects, envelopes and exclusive designs are Premium-only
- No printed or hard-copy option; Evite is digital only
When RSVPify is the better choice
Organizers who need serious RSVP and registration mechanics, guest-list management and check-in more than they need invitation design.
- Genuinely free for small events up to 100 invitees with RSVP tracking
- Strong guest-list tooling: seating charts, capacity limits, guest tagging, QR check-in
- Handles ticketing and paid registration alongside plain RSVPs
- Event pages, save-the-dates and password protection included on paid personal plans
Where it costs you:
- Guest limits are tied to plan tier: 100 free, 300 Gold, 500 Platinum
- No animated invitation envelope or cinematic invitation design
- Ticket sales carry a per-ticket fee of 1.95% plus $0.90
- Premium features such as seating charts and extra languages require paid tiers
What each one costs, in dollars
Neither Evite nor RSVPify 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.
| Evite | RSVPify | Dawat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Free tier, paid upgrades | Free tier, paid upgrades | Free |
| 100 guests | $0 free with ads, or $99.99 Premium | Free | Free |
| 250 guests | $0 free with ads, or $99.99 Premium | $10/month or $72/year (Gold) | Free |
| How that is worked out | Premium is banded by guest count; both 100 and 250 guests fall in the $99.99 Diamond band (up to 750 guests), charged per event. | The free plan covers 100 guests; 250 guests needs Gold, which is $10 monthly or $72 for a year and allows up to 300, per RSVPify's personal-events pricing page. | Dawat has no per-guest or per-send charge, so the guest count does not change the price. |
As of September 2026: Free invitations carry ads and support up to 750 guests; Premium packages are $17.99 (12 guests), $36.99 (30), $68.99 (75) and $99.99 (750) per event. Evite Pro is $249.99/year. Free for up to 100 guests per event; Gold is $10/month or $72/year for up to 300 guests, and Platinum is $15/month or $108/year for up to 500 guests. Business plans start at $39/month.
The third option: something that feels like an invitation
Neither Evite nor RSVPify 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 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

Questions
Is Evite or RSVPify cheaper?
Evite works out to $0 free with ads, or $99.99 Premium at both 100 and 250 guests. RSVPify works out to Free for 100 guests and $10/month or $72/year (Gold) 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, Evite or RSVPify?
Evite suits hosts of large casual gatherings who want a free, high-capacity invitation and can tolerate advertising beside their event details. RSVPify suits organizers who need serious RSVP and registration mechanics, guest-list management and check-in more than they need invitation design. 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 Evite or RSVPify?
Evite does not require guests to have an account. RSVPify 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 Evite and RSVPify?
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 Evite free?
Yes. Evite publishes free designs that cost nothing to send, and free invitations support up to 750 guests. The trade-off is that free invitations display third-party ads to your guests. Removing ads, or adding envelopes, stickers, backgrounds or animated effects, converts the invitation to a paid Premium send.
Is RSVPify free?
Yes, for small events. RSVPify's free plan covers up to 100 invitees or RSVPs per event, with email invitations, RSVP collection and guest tracking. Larger guest lists and premium features require a paid plan.
