Online invitation sites compared

Most invitation sites charge in one of four ways: ads, a subscription, a price per guest, or a price per event. That decides more than the designs do, so the first rows below say how each one charges and what your guests see.

Facts read from each vendor's own pages on November 1, 2026. RSVPlinks is one of the products compared.

A cross means the vendor says it doesn't offer it, or for RSVPlinks that we don't. “Not found” means we looked through its public pricing and help pages and saw nothing either way. It may still exist. A number links to the source.

Where RSVPlinks does well

No ads for guests on any plan, and every design free.
Guests give a name, with no account, app or phone number unless you ask for one.
The price depends on replies, not on how many invitations you send.
Your invite can grow into a website, take registrations or sell tickets.
Postcards with each guest's name, mailed for you.

Where RSVPlinks falls short

The free plan stops at 20 replies per event and 5 events, a much lower limit than several free plans below.
No text messages: reminders and blasts go by email, so you can't reach a guest by SMS from here.
No native phone app: hosts and guests use the browser, and the dashboard can be added to a home screen.
No licensed character designs, and no social feed for guests.
