Dawat vs Mixily
Short answer: both are free to use. The difference is what you get: Mixily gives you no ads on event pages on any plan, including the free plan, while Dawat gives you an uncapped guest list, a personally addressed link per guest, seeing who opened the invitation.
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.
Web-based event invitation and RSVP tool with ad-free event pages, custom RSVP questions and automatic reminders. This page compares it with Dawat on the three things that decide the choice between two invitation products: what it costs once the guest list is real, what your guests see when they tap the link, and what each product will not do.

When Mixily 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 who want ad-free, no-account RSVP collection with custom questions and will pay a single month's subscription.
- No ads on event pages on any plan, including the free plan
- Guests RSVP with name and email; no guest account or app download
- Custom RSVP questions for meal choice, dietary needs or song requests
- Automatic reminders, guest-list export and broadcast messaging to all or some guests
- Month-to-month billing, so you can subscribe only for the month you send
Where Dawat does not compete with it:
- Digital only: Dawat does not print or mail paper stationery
And where Mixily will cost you something:
- Free plan is capped at 50 invites and 40 RSVPs per event
- Free plan allows only 2 active events and 200 emails per week
- Every paid tier has a hard invite and RSVP ceiling, topping out at 1,500
- Google Calendar sync is restricted to the Pro plan
- Delivery is email, shareable link and social; no documented built-in SMS sending
What Mixily costs, in dollars
As of September 2026: 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).
18 of the 33 platforms tracked here can send an invitation without payment. Mixily is one of them, and Dawat is another.
| Dawat | Mixily | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Free | Free tier, paid upgrades |
| 100 guests | Free | $19 (one month of Lite) |
| 250 guests | Free | $29 (one month of Pro) |
| How that is worked out | Dawat has no per-guest or per-send charge, so the guest count does not change the price. | Free plan caps at 50 invites, so 100 guests needs Lite and 250 needs Pro; plans are monthly with no contract. |
Dawat is free to send. Mixily can also be used without paying; the differences are in what each free tier includes, which the table below sets out.
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 | Mixily |
|---|---|---|
| Guest account required | No | No |
| Ads shown to guests | No | No |
| Animated envelope | Yes | Not published |
| Per-guest personal links | Yes | Not published |
| Open tracking | Yes | Not published |
| Calendar file | Yes | Partial |
| Multilingual & right-to-left | Yes | Not published |
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. Mixily does not publish whether it addresses each guest individually.
What happens as the list grows
Guest count is not the axis here — Mixily 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 Mixily, 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: Mixily'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.

How much is Mixily for 100 guests?
The free plan stops at 50 invites, so 100 guests requires the Lite plan at $19/month, which covers 100 invites and 100 RSVPs per event. Billing is monthly with no contract, so a single event can cost $19 if you cancel afterwards. For 250 guests you need Pro at $29/month.

Can Mixily send invitations by text message?
Mixily's documented delivery channels are email, a shareable event link, and social sharing. Mixily's own guides suggest sending the event link by text yourself as a follow-up, which indicates there is no built-in SMS send. Treat native SMS as unconfirmed.
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 Mixily?
Dawat's 53 designs are animated card experiences with an envelope opening, plus 8 long-scroll Signature experiences. Whether that beats Mixily depends on whether you want a designed occasion or a quick notice.
