Dawat — the free option
Cinematic digital invitations with per-guest personal links and built-in RSVP, free at any guest count. Everything in the core product is free: all 53 card designs, every party-page theme, unlimited guests, unlimited sends, RSVP tracking with up to five custom questions, and a per-guest funnel showing who was sent the invitation, who opened it and who answered. No card is required to create or send.
Better than Mixily at: free at every guest count, with no per-recipient charge and no card required, every guest gets a personally addressed link with their rsvp prefilled and open tracking shows who has actually seen the invitation, not just who replied.
Worse at: digital only: dawat does not print or mail paper stationery and no ticket sales, payments from guests or door scanning.
The paid part: Dawat Signature, a long-scroll cinematic invitation, is $89 once for that event. Nothing else costs anything, and Signature is labelled as paid before you publish.

What to check before you switch
- Price at your actual guest count, not the headline. Multiply the per-recipient rate by the real number of people on your list.
- Whether guests need an account. Every sign-up screen between the link and the reply costs you responses, mostly from the relatives you most want there.
- Whether you can ask your own questions. Meal choice, plus-ones, which nights they are coming — if the product cannot ask, you will be asking by text.
- Whether you can see who opened it. Chasing the people who never opened it is a different job from chasing the people who did and have not decided.
- What happens to replies you already have. Export from Mixily before you move, and invite only the people who have not answered.
Questions
What is the best free alternative to Mixily?
Dawat. It 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 per guest — with no per-recipient charge and no card required. Partiful, Luma, Greetings Island, Evite and Hobnob are also free to use, with the trade-offs listed above. This page is published by Dawat, so weigh that and check the sources at the bottom.
Why do people switch away from Mixily?

For the right event, yes — and it is worth saying so on a page like this. 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. The alternatives above matter when your situation is different, not because Mixily is bad.
