Greenvelope vs Posh
Short answer: Posh is the cheaper of the two. Posh works out to Free (free event); ~$349 in buyer-paid fees on 100 $25 tickets for 100 guests and Free (free event); ~$872.50 in buyer-paid fees on 250 $25 tickets 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.
Greenvelope and Posh are built for different jobs, so the comparison is less about features and more about which job you are actually doing.

Side by side
Digital-only invitation service with animated envelope opening, email and text delivery, and RSVP tracking, priced per mailing. Social event platform for nightlife and IRL experiences, with ticket sales, promoter kickbacks, SMS, and instant payouts. 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. Posh includes sending invitations without paying outright; on Greenvelope it is limited or tied to a paid tier.
- Custom RSVP questions. Greenvelope supports asking your own questions. Posh does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- SMS or WhatsApp. Greenvelope includes sending by text or WhatsApp outright; on Posh it is limited or tied to a paid tier.
- Per-guest personal links. Greenvelope supports a personally addressed link per guest. Posh 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. Posh does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- Animated envelope. Greenvelope supports an animated envelope opening; Posh does not.
- Guest account required. Posh does this; Greenvelope does not. If letting guests reply without an account matters to you, that is a point for Greenvelope.
- Ads shown to guests. Posh does this in some cases; Greenvelope does not. If an ad-free guest experience matters to you, that is a point for Greenvelope.
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
When Posh is the better choice
Nightlife, party, and club promoters who want fast payouts, SMS reach, and a promoter-driven ticket flow.
- Free events cost the organiser nothing
- Fee is charged to the buyer and displayed all-in, so organisers keep face value
- Same-night payouts from the first ticket sale
- Free unlimited SMS to past and present attendees
- Built-in promoter Kickback program for nightlife-style promotion
Where it costs you:
- Paid tickets carry a 10% + $0.99 fee, high relative to flat-fee competitors
- Buyers are prompted to log in and need a Posh account
- Each account must have both an email and a non-VOIP phone number
- Kickback promoter payouts are reduced by a 20% Kickback fee
- Accounts are passwordless: every login needs a one-time code
What each one costs, in dollars
Neither Greenvelope nor Posh 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.
| Greenvelope | Posh | Dawat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | One-time fee per event | Fee per ticket or registration | Free |
| 100 guests | $99 (single mailing, up to 100 guests) | Free (free event); ~$349 in buyer-paid fees on 100 $25 tickets | Free |
| 250 guests | $249 (single mailing, up to 250 guests) | Free (free event); ~$872.50 in buyer-paid fees on 250 $25 tickets | Free |
| How that is worked out | Greenvelope's own published single-mailing tiers; delivery is digital so there is no printing or postage cost. | Posh's published 10% + $0.99 applied to a $25 ticket; the fee is billed to the buyer, so the organiser keeps face value. | Dawat has no per-guest or per-send charge, so the guest count does not change the price. |
As of September 2026: 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. Free events carry a $0 fee. Paid tickets carry a 10% + $0.99 platform fee, charged to the buyer and shown all-in; a $30 ticket carries a $3.99 fee.
The third option: the same job, at no cost
Greenvelope and Posh both want money before your guests see anything. Greenvelope works out to $99 (single mailing, up to 100 guests) for 100 guests and $249 (single mailing, up to 250 guests) for 250. Posh works out to Free (free event); ~$349 in buyer-paid fees on 100 $25 tickets for 100 guests and Free (free event); ~$872.50 in buyer-paid fees on 250 $25 tickets 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, Greenvelope or Posh?
Greenvelope suits hosts of a single sizeable event who want polished digital invitations and detailed RSVP data for one predictable flat fee. Posh suits nightlife, party, and club promoters who want fast payouts, SMS reach, and a promoter-driven ticket flow. 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 Greenvelope or Posh?
Greenvelope does not require guests to have an account. Posh requires guests to have an account. Anything that makes a guest sign up before replying costs you responses, particularly from older relatives.

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 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.
What fees does Posh charge organizers?
