Free Evite alternative for RSVPs, with no ads
If you use Evite to see who's coming, Whenabouts gives you the same yes, no or maybe, with guest counts and a reminder the day before, for free and without ads. Here's how the two compare, from Evite's own pages.

Evite and Whenabouts, side by side
| What | Evite | Whenabouts |
|---|---|---|
| Responding | No account needed. The link the host sent is all a guest needs. | No account needed. A name is enough, and an email is optional. |
| Ads | On free invitations. A Premium upgrade removes them. | None, on any plan. |
| Bringing others | Hosts can let guests bring up to nine more. | Up to 20 more each, and a total the room can hold. |
| Designs | Customizable invitation designs, with animated and exclusive designs on Premium. | A plain, quick page. No invitation designs. |
| Sign-up sheets | Evite SignUp Sheets are free and have no ads. | Free too, with scheduling polls from the same place. |

What else Whenabouts does
- A reminder the day before, on every plan, to everyone who said yes or maybe and left an email.
- One question of your own, with the answers kept off the page and in your spreadsheet.
- “Total room for” closes yes once you're full, while people can still say maybe or no.
- Asking the people who haven't answered: paste their addresses, and each gets one email.
- No account needed to make one, and every page works with JavaScript switched off.
When Evite might suit you better
- You want a designed invitation, with envelopes, stamps, animation or your own artwork. Evite is built around those, and Whenabouts isn't.
- You'd like a photo gallery for the party afterwards, which Evite offers with Premium.
- You want guests to count adults and children separately. Evite's party size can split the two.
- You want to see who has opened the invitation. Evite's free invitations show read receipts when sent to each guest.
Questions people ask
- Is Whenabouts really free?
- Yes. Free has no time limit and no card to enter. A free page takes up to 200 responses, and a sign-up sheet up to 200 rows. A free page that nobody has answered for 12 months is deleted, with a warning first.
- Can guests change their answer?
- Yes, from the link in their email or on the same phone, until you close it or the closing date passes.
- Can I send it by text?
- Yes. You get one link to paste anywhere: a text, an email, a group chat, or the QR code on a printed card.
