Mixily vs Partiful
Short answer: Partiful is the cheaper of the two. Partiful is free to send. Mixily works out to $19 (one month of Lite) for 100 guests and $29 (one month of Pro) for 250. Mixily earns the difference if you need no ads on event pages on any plan, including the free plan.
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.
The decision between Mixily and Partiful is mostly a pricing decision. They overlap heavily on what they do; they differ on what they charge you to do it.

Where they actually differ
Both give you sending invitations without paying, no per-recipient charge, tracking who has replied, asking your own questions and sending by email, so those are not the thing to decide on.
- SMS or WhatsApp. Partiful includes sending by text or WhatsApp outright; on Mixily it is limited or tied to a paid tier.
- Guest account required. Partiful does this; Mixily does not. If letting guests reply without an account matters to you, that is a point for Mixily.
- Event website. Partiful includes a full event website outright; on Mixily it is limited or tied to a paid tier.
- Registry links. Partiful supports linking a gift registry. Mixily does not publish whether it does, so treat it as unavailable until you have confirmed it.
- Calendar file. Partiful includes adding the event to a calendar outright; on Mixily it is limited or tied to a paid tier.
When Mixily is the better choice
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 it costs you:
- 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
When Partiful is the better choice
Social hosts running casual gatherings for a phone-native guest list who want zero cost and fast, mobile RSVP collection.
- Genuinely free with no paid tier, per-event fee or per-recipient charge
- Text blasts let hosts message confirmed guests without a group chat
- Custom questionnaire collects arbitrary information at RSVP time
- Shared photo albums, date polling, co-hosts and calendar sync included
- Registry or other links can be added to the event page
Where it costs you:
- Guests must verify a phone number by SMS code to RSVP
- Ticketing fees apply to paid tickets and are not published as a rate
- No printed or mailed card option
- No animated-envelope or formal stationery format
- Phone-number-centric flow, which not all guest lists suit
What each one costs, in dollars
Neither Mixily nor Partiful 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.
| Mixily | Partiful | Dawat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Free tier, paid upgrades | Free | Free |
| 100 guests | $19 (one month of Lite) | Free | Free |
| 250 guests | $29 (one month of Pro) | Free | Free |
| How that is worked out | Free plan caps at 50 invites, so 100 guests needs Lite and 250 needs Pro; plans are monthly with no contract. | Partiful publishes no per-guest or per-event charge; fees apply only when selling paid tickets, and free tickets carry no fee for anyone. | Dawat has no per-guest or per-send charge, so the guest count does not change the price. |
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). Partiful states its platform is "100% free, no paywalls" with no per-event or per-guest charge; only paid ticketing carries a fee, and free tickets have no fees.
The third option: something that feels like an invitation
Neither Mixily nor Partiful 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 practical difference shows up the week before the event. Instead of counting replies across a group chat, you open one page and see who was sent it, who opened it, and who answered.
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
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.
