Is Who's In a free Facebook Events alternative?

Who's In is a free Facebook Events alternative for event organisers. Key differences: RSVP with just a name — no accounts needed. Your community data stays yours. Unlimited events, RSVPs, automatic waitlists and QR check-in are free; paid tickets are a flat 2.7% with no per-ticket fees.

Why Organizers Are Switching from Facebook Events

Facebook Events locks out anyone without a Facebook account. Who's In gives your entire community — Facebook users and non-users alike — a way to RSVP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about switching from Facebook Events

Why use Who's In instead of Facebook Events?

Facebook Events requires guests to have a Facebook account to RSVP. Roughly 37% of adults no longer actively use Facebook. Who's In lets anyone RSVP with just their name — no account, no social media profile needed — so you capture RSVPs from your entire community.

Is my guest data private with Who's In

Yes. Your attendee data belongs to you. Who's In doesn't sell it, share it with advertisers, or give it to Meta. You can export your attendee list (Pro feature). Facebook Events data is part of Meta's advertising ecosystem.

Can I still use Facebook for event discovery?

Absolutely. Many organizers post their Who's In event link on their Facebook page for discovery, but handle actual RSVPs through Who's In. You get Facebook's reach without locking guests into RSVP-ing through Meta.

Does Who's In have WhatsApp integration?

Yes, WhatsApp is a first-class sharing channel on Who's In. Share event links directly to group chats with smart pre-filled messages. Automated WhatsApp-style reminders are sent via push notifications, keeping your community informed without Facebook notifications.

What if some of my community is still on Facebook?

No problem. Who's In gives you a universal link — Facebook users can click it and RSVP just as easily as non-Facebook users. Everyone lands on the same event page. Share the link wherever your community is.

Does Who's In work for paid events?

Yes. Stripe-powered paid ticketing at 2.7% flat fee. Facebook Events has no native paid ticketing capability.
