Free Event Registration Software — No Monthly Fees
Professional event registration without the price tag. Create events, collect sign-ups, manage capacity, and automate reminders — completely free for free events.
What Makes Good Event Registration Software?
Most platforms overcomplicate it. Great registration software comes down to four things.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden fees, surprise charges, or paywalled features. What you see is what you pay — ideally nothing for free events.
Low Attendee Friction
Every extra step between 'click link' and 'registered' kills conversions. The best tools require nothing more than a name.
Automated Communications
Confirmation emails, reminders, and waitlist notifications should happen automatically — not require manual action every time.
Real-Time Reporting
A live dashboard showing confirmed attendees, capacity status, and registration trends — so you're never flying blind.

What Organisers Are Saying
"We switched from Eventbrite to Who's In for our monthly networking events. Zero fees, and our registration rate went up because attendees don't need to create an account."
James O.
Events Director, London Tech Network
"We run free community workshops. Eventbrite kept pushing paid features on attendees. Who's In is clean, free, and our registrations doubled in the first month."
Fatima A.
Workshop Organiser, Birmingham
"The export feature is a lifesaver. I pull a CSV before every event and share it with the venue. The automated reminders cut our no-show rate significantly."
Marcus T.
Conference Producer, Edinburgh

Event Registration Software FAQs
Common questions from event organisers evaluating their options
What is event registration software?▼
Event registration software is a tool that lets event organisers collect attendee sign-ups online. It typically includes an RSVP or ticket form, a guest management dashboard, automated confirmation emails, and reminders. Who's In is a free event registration platform that handles all of this with no monthly fees.
Is there truly free event registration software?▼
Yes — Who's In is completely free for free events. Unlike platforms that charge monthly subscriptions or require attendees to create accounts, Who's In offers unlimited event creation, unlimited RSVPs, capacity management, automated reminders, and a real-time guest dashboard at no cost. For paid/ticketed events, a flat 3.9% processing fee applies (no monthly fee).
Do attendees need to create an account to register?▼
No. With Who's In, attendees register with just their name — no account creation, no password, no app download required. This dramatically increases registration completion rates compared to platforms that require sign-up before RSVP.
Can I export my guest list from Who's In?▼
Yes. You can export your full guest list including names, registration timestamps, and any custom fields at any time. Exports are available in CSV format, ready to import into spreadsheets, CRM tools, or catering management software.
How does Who's In compare to Eventbrite for free events?▼
For free events, Who's In is a significantly better fit than Eventbrite. Eventbrite requires attendees to create accounts, imposes its own branding, and upsells to paid plans. Who's In has no attendee friction, no forced branding, and remains completely free for free events — while offering automated reminders and waitlist management that Eventbrite charges for.
