Honest comparisons

How HeyVite compares

Evite, Paperless Post, Partiful, Greenvelope, Punchbowl, Canva and Joy, side by side with HeyVite on the things hosts actually ask about: pricing, ads, guest privacy and RSVP tracking.

HeyVite is a privacy-first digital invitation and RSVP platform. You create an invitation, add your guests, and send it by email, WhatsApp or link , and every reply, meal choice and plus-one tracks itself on one live dashboard. It is free to start, and by default your guest list stays yours alone.

How do these comparisons work?

Every claim about a competitor on these pages comes from publicly available information, their own pricing and help pages first, checked in July 2026. Where something could not be verified, we say so or leave it out. And where a competitor is the better fit for your event, each page says that too.

The HeyVite side is simpler to verify: plans are a single payment for a single event ($$15, $45 or $110, free to start), every event runs with no tracking scripts, delivery runs over email, WhatsApp or a shareable link, and Guest Privacy is included on every plan, free ones too, and on by default. Every guest replies through their own private link; there is no public guest list and no name lookup unless you deliberately open that one event to a share-anywhere link.
