Apple Invites vs Invity Cards

Apple Invites lets people create party invitations, manage RSVPs, and host events. Hosts can personalize invitation backgrounds with a library photo or an image created with Image Playground, then add details using Apple Music, Photos, Maps, and other features. Each event can have up to 100 guests, and hosts can create unlimited events. Invitations can be sent by email, link, or SMS. Guests can RSVP in the iPhone app or at iCloud.com without needing the app, an Apple device, or an Apple Account. Hosts can add a Shared Album for guests to contribute event photos and videos. Guests with an Apple Music subscription can add songs to a collaborative event playlist. Hosts can require approval before guests join and choose whether the invitation cover is visible only to joined guests. Creating invitations requires an iCloud+ subscription. The listed 50GB iCloud+ plan is $0.99 a month and includes access to Apple Invites; plans can be shared with up to five additional family members at no extra cost, with personal information kept separate.

Invity Cards is a web invitation maker that creates shareable event links. Hosts enter event details, select a design and font, choose an animation, and generate a link for WhatsApp, Messenger, email, or group chat. Guests can respond without installing an app or creating an account, while the host receives email alerts for acceptances and declines. Responses appear in a guest list, with CSV export on Pro. The service lists birthdays, weddings, baby showers, gender reveals, anniversaries, graduations, and other events as uses. The Free plan costs nothing and allows two invitations daily, eight designs, four title effects, and five-hour links. Invity Pro Monthly costs $2.99 a month, billed monthly; Pro Yearly costs $20 a year, billed annually. Both paid plans auto-renew until cancelled and add unlimited invitations, 30-day links, 12 designs, seven title effects, guest lists, and CSV export.
