Dawat vs Greenvelope

Dawat's core product is free at every guest count. Greenvelope is the better pick if you need flat per-mailing price, not per-recipient credits, so cost is known up front.
Dawat is free at every guest count: 53 card designs, unlimited guests, unlimited sends, RSVP tracking with your own questions, and a personally addressed link for each guest. The only paid item is a Dawat Signature cinematic experience at $89 once per event.

When Greenvelope is the better choice
A comparison published by one of the two products is worth nothing unless it can say this part plainly, so here it is: 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 Dawat does not compete with it:
- Digital only: Dawat does not print or mail paper stationery
And where Greenvelope will cost you something:
- 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

The guest experience compared
Hosts compare dashboards. Guests get one link, once, usually on a phone, often while doing something else. Everything standing between that tap and an answer costs you replies.
| Feature | Dawat | Greenvelope |
|---|---|---|
| Guest account required | No | No |
| Ads shown to guests | No | No |
| Animated envelope | Yes | Yes |
| Per-guest personal links | Yes | Yes |
| Open tracking | Yes | Yes |
| Calendar file | Yes | Not published |
| Multilingual & right-to-left | Yes | Partial |
On Dawat, the link is addressed to the person holding it. The envelope opens with their name on it, their RSVP is already prefilled, and answering is one tap. Greenvelope also gives each guest their own link, so on this point the two are close.
What happens as the list grows
Guest count is not the axis here — Greenvelope does not bill per recipient. The thing that changes as the list grows is administration: chasing replies, keeping a headcount honest, and knowing who never opened the thing. Dawat gives every guest their own link, so the dashboard shows sent, opened and answered per person instead of a pile of replies you have to reconcile.
Switching, or running both
Most people pick one. If you are mid-way through a guest list on Greenvelope, the sensible split is to leave the people who have already replied where they are and send Dawat invitations to the ones who have not.
If you are moving across, the fastest route is Dawat's import: paste the link to your existing invitation and Dawat reads the wording, date, venue and colour mood off the page and rebuilds it as a prefilled draft you can edit. Guest lists come in from your phone's contacts, a .vcf file, or pasted text.
What does not come across: Greenvelope's designs, and any replies already collected there. Export your RSVPs before you switch, and send the Dawat invitation only to the people who have not answered.

Questions
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.
How much does Greenvelope cost for 100 guests?
$99 as a single one-time mailing fee for a list of up to 100 guests. That is a flat total, not a per-guest charge, and it covers the design, email or text delivery, RSVP tracking and reminders. Because it is digital there is no printing or postage on top.
Does Greenvelope print invitations?
No. Greenvelope is a digital-only service; its positioning is built around sending invitations by email and text rather than paper. If you want printed cards you would need a separate stationery printer.
Do guests need an account to RSVP on Greenvelope?
No. Guests open the invitation from the link they receive and reply directly, with no signup. The experience is ad-free for both hosts and guests.
Is Dawat free?
Yes. All 53 card designs and every party-page theme, unlimited guests, unlimited sends, RSVP tracking, custom questions and the per-guest analytics cost nothing, and no card is required. The only paid item is a Dawat Signature cinematic experience at $89 once for that event, and it is labelled as paid before you publish.
Does Dawat have designs as good as Greenvelope?
Dawat's 53 designs are animated card experiences with an envelope opening, plus 8 long-scroll Signature experiences. Whether that beats Greenvelope depends on whether you want a designed occasion or a quick notice.
Can I send printed invitations from Dawat?
No. Dawat is digital only. Greenvelope does not print either.

How these figures were checked
Every figure above was read from Greenvelope's own published pricing or help pages on 16 September 2026, and each source is linked below. Coins, credits and per-card rates are converted into dollars at a real guest count, because that is the number you are deciding with. Full methodology and the open dataset →
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. Greenvelope does not publish one.
