Eventloom vs Evite
The short answer
Evite is the better choice if you want invitations emailed or texted to guests, scheduled reminders, and messages by RSVP group, and its free invitations cost nothing if you accept ads. Eventloom builds a full custom event website with RSVP for $20 per event, with no ads and no per-guest pricing, but it doesn't send invitations or reminders for you.

- You are inviting more than a dozen people and want one flat $20 price with no ads.

- You are happy to send the link yourself.

- You want invitations sent to guests' inboxes or phones, with scheduled reminders.

For a small gathering, Evite's free tier or its $17.99 package for up to 12 guests is hard to argue with. For a bigger guest list, Eventloom's flat $20 is less than Evite's larger Premium packages, but you handle reminders yourself.
