The Free Evite Alternative
with No Ads on Your Event Pages — Ever
Evite has been around since 1998, but it shows ads to your guests on the free tier. Removing them costs $13.99/month. Who's In is free forever — no ads, no subscription, and packed with features Evite doesn't have: WhatsApp sharing, automatic waitlists, QR check-in, and paid ticketing.
Why Organizers Are Switching from Evite
Evite was the default for digital invitations for decades — but ads on guest-facing pages, a $13.99/month paywall, and a lack of modern features have pushed thousands of organizers to look for something better.

Your Event Page Is for Your Guests — Not Ads
When a guest opens your Evite invitation on the free tier, they see advertisements. That means your birthday party invite or baby shower page is sharing screen space with third-party ads your guests never asked for.
On Who's In, your event page is clean, professional, and ad-free — on every plan, including the free one. No upsell required.
- Ad-free event pages for organizers and guests
- Clean, modern RSVP experience on any device
- No ads even if you never pay a penny
- No third-party tracking pixels on guest pages
- WhatsApp-first sharing — arrives where guests actually look
- No guest accounts required to RSVP

What Organizers Say After Switching
"I used Evite for years but kept seeing ads on my own event pages — pages I was sharing with friends and family. Who's In is cleaner, faster, and completely free. I'll never go back."
Rachel T.
Birthday Party Host, Austin
"The WhatsApp integration alone made me switch. My whole family is on WhatsApp, not email. Sharing a Who's In link to our group chat got 18 RSVPs in 20 minutes. Evite can't do that."
James O.
Family Reunion Organizer
"I run a monthly book club. Evite had no recurring events and no waitlist — I was manually managing everything. Who's In auto-creates my monthly event and handles the waitlist for me. Game changer."
Daniela M.
Book Club Host, London
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Evite to Who's In
Why switch from Evite to Who's In?▼
Evite has been around since 1998 but it shows ads to your guests on the free tier, and removing those ads costs $13.99/month or $99.99/year. Who's In is completely free with zero ads — ever. On top of that, Who's In adds features Evite doesn't have: automatic waitlists, QR check-in, WhatsApp-native sharing, paid ticketing via Stripe, and recurring events.
Is Who's In actually ad-free, or just on paid plans?▼
Who's In is ad-free on every plan, including the free tier. There are no ads on your event pages, no ads when guests RSVP, and no upsell banners interrupting the experience. Evite shows ads to your guests unless you pay for Evite Pro ($13.99/month). On Who's In, the ad-free experience is simply the default.
What features does Who's In have that Evite doesn't?▼
Who's In includes automatic waitlist management (Evite has none), QR code check-in at the door (Evite has none), WhatsApp-native sharing and reminders (Evite is email-only), paid ticketing via Stripe at 2.7% (Evite has no ticketing), recurring events (Evite has none), a morning-of 'Still in?' check to reduce no-shows, and support for 10 languages. All of these are free.
Can Who's In handle paid ticketing like a birthday party where guests pay?▼
Yes. Who's In supports paid events via Stripe at a flat 2.7% fee — no monthly subscription required to enable it. Set a ticket price, and guests pay at RSVP. Funds go directly to your Stripe account. Evite has no paid ticketing capability at all — it's purely an invitation and RSVP tool.
How do I migrate from Evite to Who's In?▼
There's nothing to export. Create a free account on Who's In (30 seconds), create your first event (under 2 minutes), and share the link directly to your group — via WhatsApp, text, or email. Most organizers share their first Who's In link alongside their last Evite event and transition naturally. Your guests just tap the link and RSVP with their name — no account needed.
Does Who's In work for personal events like birthdays and baby showers?▼
Absolutely. Who's In handles any event type — birthdays, baby showers, holiday parties, graduation celebrations, dinner parties, and more. Create a clean event page with all the details, set a capacity limit if you want, and share the link. Guests RSVP without creating accounts. The automatic waitlist handles overflow if you hit capacity.
