Evite vs InviteDrop

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.

InviteDrop is a web app for creating digital invitations, sending them, and following event responses. Its catalog has more than 1,200 templates for occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and baby showers. Hosts can customize wording, colors, photos, stickers, event details, and RSVP options; invitations may open with an animated envelope. They can be sent by text, email, or shareable link, and guests can open them in a browser without an app or account. An event page shows replies and a running headcount, and hosts can remind guests who have not answered. The free plan costs nothing and includes five invitations per event, all designs, RSVP tracking, and email or text delivery, without ads or watermarks. A single invite counts once even when addressed to a couple or household. One-time Event Pass plans cost $15.99 as a one-time purchase for up to 25 invites, $29.99, paid once for up to 50, $44.99, paid once for up to 100, or $74.99, paid once for unlimited invites. InviteDrop Pro costs $249.99 a year for unlimited events with up to 1,000 guests each.
