What makes Who’s In different

Who's In was built around a belief: powerful software shouldn't require a manual. Every feature above — from waitlist automation to Stripe payments — works the moment you turn it on. No configuration wizards, no onboarding calls, no "contact sales."

That's not because we left out the complexity. It's because we absorbed it.

Start free Add payments when you sell tickets Add memberships when you build a community Add analytics when you want to optimise.

Your events grow. Who's In grows with them.

What organizers are saying

"I was spending 20 minutes every yoga session just managing RSVPs in WhatsApp. Who's In solved that in seconds."

🧘

Sarah M.

Yoga Instructor, Bali

"No account required for attendees? Game changer. We went from 40% RSVPs to 85% when we switched."

🥾

James K.

Hiking Group Organizer, London

"The auto-waitlist saved us. Hit capacity? Someone dropped? Automatic bump to next person. Beautiful."

📚

Priya L.

Book Club Founder, Dubai

"Started with free events, then added Stripe when we launched paid workshops. Seamless upgrade."

🍽️

Marcus T.

Community Dinner Host, NYC

Elena R.

Meditation Circle Leader, Stockholm

"We use Who's In for recurring classes and the membership tools. It replaced three different apps."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Who's In really free?

Yes! Who's In is completely free forever for all community events. Free events have zero fees with unlimited RSVPs, automatic waitlists, QR check-in, email reminders, and calendar sync. Paid events use Stripe with a flat 2.7% transaction fee. No hidden charges.

Do my guests need to create an account to RSVP?

No! Guests can RSVP with just their name and email — no account required. This zero-friction approach leads to significantly higher RSVP completion rates compared to platforms that require account creation.

How is Who's In different from Eventbrite?

Who's In is an event management platform that scales from a free RSVP link to full Stripe payments, automated waitlists, and membership management. Unlike Eventbrite, Who's In requires no guest account, offers WhatsApp-native sharing, automatic waitlist promotion, and is free forever for community events.

How is Who's In different from Luma?

Both platforms offer event management with payment processing. Who's In differentiates with zero guest friction (no account required), WhatsApp-native sharing, morning-of reconfirmation to reduce no-shows, and a permanently free tier. Luma focuses more on Instagram integration and event discovery.

Can I share events on WhatsApp?

Yes! Who's In is built with WhatsApp as a first-class sharing channel. Share event links directly to group chats with pre-filled messages. Your community is already on WhatsApp — we meet them there.

How does the automatic waitlist work?

When your event reaches capacity, additional RSVPs automatically go on a numbered waitlist. When someone drops out, the next person on the waitlist is automatically promoted and notified — instantly, even at 6am. No manual management needed.

What features does Who's In include?

All features are completely free forever: Stripe payment processing with organiser payouts, recurring event scheduling, membership/club management, post-event surveys, custom branding, full analytics dashboard, and a flat 2.7% transaction fee on paid events.

How is Who's In different from Jotform Events?

Jotform Events is a form builder extended for events — it requires building forms from scratch ($39–99/month for paid plans). Who's In is purpose-built for event management: free forever, 90-second setup, automatic waitlists, WhatsApp-native sharing, QR check-in, and recurring events. No forms needed.
