Convide Alternative With No Guest Cap
Convide.Online is free until 20 guests confirm; above that you pay once per event to raise the cap, from $9 for 50 guests to $49 for 500 (prices checked September 2026). Who's In has no guest cap: share one link in WhatsApp, guests RSVP in one tap without an app or account, and a waitlist fills spots when someone drops out. It's free unless you sell tickets, which carry a flat 2.7% fee.

Unlimited RSVPs vs. Per-Event Guest Caps
Convide.Online lets you create an invitation with an RSVP link and share it via WhatsApp, social media, email or SMS, but the free tier stops at 20 confirmed guests per event. Beyond that you pay once per event to raise the cap: $9 for 50 guests, $17 for 100, up to $49 for 500. If you run regular events, that fee comes round again every time.
Who's In is free for unlimited events and unlimited RSVPs, with no guest caps and no per-event fees. You also get features Convide doesn't offer: automatic waitlist promotion, recurring events, QR check-in at the door, and paid ticketing through Stripe for a flat 2.7% on the tickets you sell.
Running a 50-person event? Free on Who's In. On Convide it costs $9 to unlock 50 guests, and you pay again for every event.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the main difference between Who's In and Convide?▼
The biggest difference is scale and pricing. Convide caps free events at 20 confirmed guests and charges once per event to unlock more, from $9 for 50 guests to $49 for 500. Who's In offers unlimited events and unlimited RSVPs for free. Who's In also includes features Convide doesn't have: recurring events, automatic waitlists, QR check-in at the door, paid ticketing, and push notifications.
Is Who's In free compared to Convide?▼
Yes. Convide's free tier covers 20 confirmed guests per event, and above that you pay $9 to $49 per event. Who's In is free for unlimited guests and unlimited events. The only fee is a flat 2.7% on tickets, and only if you sell them.
Can I use Convide outside Brazil?▼
Yes. Convide has an English version and says its gift lists accept payment methods worldwide. The bigger differences are the 20-guest free limit, the per-event fee above it, and the lack of recurring events, waitlists and paid ticketing. Who's In works worldwide too, with paid tickets processed through Stripe and sharing built around WhatsApp.
Does Convide support recurring events?▼
No. Convide is designed for one-off events like weddings and birthday parties. If you run a weekly meetup, monthly book club, or regular fitness class, you'd need to create each event from scratch. Who's In has built-in recurring event support — set up once and it auto-creates future instances.
Do guests need accounts with either platform?▼
Neither platform requires guest accounts — both let guests RSVP with minimal friction. However, Who's In goes further with WhatsApp-native reminders and a morning-of 'Still in?' check that helps cut no-shows.
Does Who's In integrate with LinkedIn?▼
Yes! Who's In offers four LinkedIn integrations: sign in with LinkedIn, share events to your LinkedIn feed, publish full LinkedIn Events that sync attendees back, and display Verified on LinkedIn identity badges — all included free.
