Evite vs Greenvelope

Evite is an online invitation and event-planning service for sending invitations and coordinating guests. Hosts can customize invitations, send them by email, text, or link, track RSVPs, message guests, and send automatic reminders. Free Event Pages provide textable invitations for casual gatherings; hosts and guests can create or respond in a browser without downloading an app. Pages can include sign-up sheets for guests to claim items or tasks. Evite also offers digital greeting cards that can be scheduled or sent instantly and a free tool for coordinating what guests bring and volunteer arrival times. Hosts may upload custom invitation designs, and Evite says its Canva app can send a design directly to Evite. Premium invitations are ad-free and include a matching envelope, stamps, and additional photo and text cards; prices depend on guest-list size. Listed single-event packages range from $17.99 a month for Silver, covering 12 guests, to $99.99 a month for Diamond, covering 750. Evite Pro costs $249.99 a year for up to 2,500 guests per invitation.

Greenvelope is a digital invitation and card service for planning events, managing guest lists, and tracking responses. Hosts can tailor fonts, colors, photos, layouts, envelopes, and background music, or upload their own artwork. Event tools include real-time RSVP tracking, custom questions, plus-one tracking, reminders, and seating charts. Invitations can go by email, SMS in supported countries, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or a shareable link. Guests can respond without an account or app installation, and without seeing advertisements. Hosts can export guest lists, RSVP status, plus ones, meal selections, and custom-question responses as CSV or Excel files. Salesforce integration imports campaign contacts and syncs RSVP data to campaign-member statuses in real time. The trial permits sending a real invitation to up to 10 people without a credit card. Plans include a Single Mailing at $59, paid once for up to 60 people and an Annual Membership at $225 a year for unlimited mailings of up to 150 people each. Greenvelope is available on Android, iOS, and web, and provides an API.
