Why people look for an Evite alternative
Evite has been around for decades and plenty of hosts are happy with it: its iPhone app is rated 4.8 from over 500,000 ratings, and it scores 4.6 from 390 reviews on Capterra. The complaints that do come up are consistent, though. On Trustpilot, where Evite scored 1.6 out of 5 from 65 reviews when we checked, reviewers mostly point to three things: ads on free invitations, the price jump when a design feature or a few more guests push an invitation into a paid package, and invitations landing in spam folders.
One reviewer in March 2026 summed up the pricing complaint: "$40 to send 30 invites…another $30 for 13 more." That's the per-event, per-guest-count model at work.
Spam filtering affects every service that sends invitation email, EzyEvite included. The dependable backup is to also share the invitation link by text or WhatsApp, which both services let you do.
How the two pricing models differ
Evite's basic invitations are free and carry ads. The moment you add an envelope, a background, effects, a host photo gallery or an RSVP-by date, the invitation becomes Premium, priced by how many guests you invite: $17.99 for up to 12, up to $99.99 for 750.
EzyEvite doesn't have a free tier for sending. Designing and previewing costs nothing, and publishing costs $1.99 per evite whatever design you choose, plus $0.05 for each email invite. If you host often, Unlimited is $9.99 a month for as many evites as you like, and you can cancel auto-renewal at any time.
What you give up by switching
Being fair about it: EzyEvite has 120 templates rather than thousands, there's no native app to download, and you can't send an invitation for free. Evite's standalone Event Pages and SignUp Sheets are also free, while EzyEvite's sign-up sheets live on a published evite.
What you get in return is a simple price ($1.99 plus $0.05 per email invite), no third-party ads on your invitation, a registry, cash funds, sign-up sheets and a photo album on the same page, and RSVP forms that ask for party size, adults and kids separately, and your own questions.
Moving your next party over
Pick a template or start blank, and your event name, date and place fill in automatically. Add guests by pasting a list or from your address book, preview the invitation exactly as guests will see it, and publish when it's right. Guests reply in one tap without creating an account. See all templates.
