Switch from Partiful to Who's In
Partiful is great for one-off social parties — but if your events are recurring, branded, or grow into a community, you outgrow it fast. Move to Who's In with a branded organiser presence, recurring event tools, and an ad-free experience for your guests.
Every Events feature included free forever. No credit card required.
Why organizers switch from Partiful
Partiful is one-off-party-first — not recurring
Partiful is built for invitations to a single party. Recurring events (weekly run club, monthly book club, quarterly pop-up) are awkward — you create each one manually with no template inheritance, and your audience doesn't accumulate across events.
Who's In supports recurring events natively, so your weekly run club or monthly book club is set up once, and everything lives on your own organiser page.
Ad-supported guest experience
Partiful is free for organisers because it shows ads to guests. For brand-conscious organisers, hosts running professional events, or anyone who wants a clean guest experience, the ads dilute the brand.
Who's In is ad-free for guests. Free for free events on your side, 2.7% + Stripe processing on paid tickets. The guest experience is yours, not interrupted by third-party ads.
No CRM, no segmentation, no member building
Partiful tracks RSVPs per party but doesn't give you a CRM, segmentation, or a way to build a recurring audience. Each party starts from scratch.
Who's In gives you recurring events, attendee lists with CSV export and an organiser page your guests come back to. If your parties grow into a paid community, Who's In Clubs adds a member CRM.
Step 1: Export from Partiful
Get your data out
Export RSVP list per event
In Partiful, open each event > Guests > Copy / Export. Captures guest name, phone (Partiful uses phone as primary), RSVP status.
Document upcoming events
Take screenshots or note upcoming events with date/time/location/RSVP count.
Document recurring patterns
If you run a recurring series (weekly run club, monthly book club), document the pattern for replication.
Identify high-frequency RSVPers
Across past events, identify guests who RSVP'd to 3+ of your events. They're your highest-value direct migration targets.
Decide on cutover
Migrate next event to Who's In. Email + text your existing audience the new home with the founder's note + the value-add (better recurring tools, no ads, one organiser page).
Step 2: Set up on Who's In
Get running in minutes
Create your Who's In organiser presence
Sign up at whos-in.app. Add organisation name and branding.
Recreate upcoming events
For each event, set name, date, time, location, capacity, dress code, food/drink notes. Use the Partiful export as your reference.
Import guest list per event
For each free event, import a CSV of guests from the attendee list. The import needs name and email, and Partiful exports phone numbers first, so collect emails before you import.
Set up recurring + multi-event series
Turn on repeat for weekly or monthly series and future dates are created for you. For a one-off run of events, start each one from an event template.
Configure ticketing (if paid)
If you charge for events (cover charges, dinner deposits), toggle Sell Tickets and set one price — 2.7% + Stripe processing.
Keep your guest list
Export each event's attendee list as CSV for your records or email tool, so you can invite past guests to what's next.
