Dawat vs RSVPify
Short answer: both are free to use. The difference is what you get: RSVPify gives you genuinely free for small events up to 100 invitees with rsvp tracking, while Dawat gives you an uncapped guest list, asking your own questions, a personally addressed link per guest.
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.
Online RSVP, registration and ticketing platform with guest lists, custom forms, check-in and event pages for personal and business events. This page compares it with Dawat on free-tier limits, on what a guest actually receives, and on the gap between collecting an answer and sending an invitation.

When RSVPify is the better choice
RSVPify is not trying to make an invitation, and judging it as one would be unfair. Judged as what it is: Organizers who need serious RSVP and registration mechanics, guest-list management and check-in more than they need invitation design.
- Genuinely free for small events up to 100 invitees with RSVP tracking
- Strong guest-list tooling: seating charts, capacity limits, guest tagging, QR check-in
- Handles ticketing and paid registration alongside plain RSVPs
- Event pages, save-the-dates and password protection included on paid personal plans
Where Dawat does not compete with it:
- Digital only: Dawat does not print or mail paper stationery
And where RSVPify will cost you something:
- Guest limits are tied to plan tier: 100 free, 300 Gold, 500 Platinum
- No animated invitation envelope or cinematic invitation design
- Ticket sales carry a per-ticket fee of 1.95% plus $0.90
- Premium features such as seating charts and extra languages require paid tiers
What RSVPify costs, in dollars
As of September 2026: Free for up to 100 guests per event; Gold is $10/month or $72/year for up to 300 guests, and Platinum is $15/month or $108/year for up to 500 guests. Business plans start at $39/month.
18 of the 33 platforms tracked here can send an invitation without payment. RSVPify is one of them, and Dawat is another.
| Dawat | RSVPify | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Free | Free tier, paid upgrades |
| 100 guests | Free | Free |
| 250 guests | Free | $10/month or $72/year (Gold) |
| How that is worked out | Dawat has no per-guest or per-send charge, so the guest count does not change the price. | The free plan covers 100 guests; 250 guests needs Gold, which is $10 monthly or $72 for a year and allows up to 300, per RSVPify's personal-events pricing page. |
Dawat is free to send. RSVPify 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
A form asks a question. An invitation makes someone want to answer it. Your guest experiences whichever one you sent, and the response rate follows.
| Feature | Dawat | RSVPify |
|---|---|---|
| Guest account required | No | No |
| Ads shown to guests | No | Not published |
| Animated envelope | Yes | No |
| Per-guest personal links | Yes | Not published |
| Open tracking | Yes | Not published |
| 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. RSVPify does not publish whether it addresses each guest individually.
What happens as the list grows
Guest count is not the axis here — RSVPify 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
You can keep RSVPify for anything that genuinely is a form, and use Dawat for the invitation. Most hosts find they stop needing the form once the RSVP questions live inside the invitation.
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: RSVPify'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 does RSVPify cost for 100 guests?
Nothing. 100 invitees is exactly the free plan's published ceiling. Above that, the personal Gold plan is $10/month for up to 300 guests and Platinum is $15/month for up to 500 guests.
What are RSVPify's guest limits?
The free plan allows up to 100 invitees or RSVPs per event. Gold raises that to 300 guests and Platinum to 500. Business and nonprofit plans are sold on registrations per month instead, starting at 150/month on Starter.

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.
