Eventbrite is built for ticketed public events, and it is good at that. A wedding, a birthday or a private dinner needs something else: a personal RSVP link for each named guest, no public page, no checkout, no ticket in their inbox. Eventi creates that link, sends it in WhatsApp or by text with Yes and No buttons, and records every answer against your guest list. [Create your RSVP link](https://app.ueventi.com/login) Free to sign up and design. No credit card required. ## Create an RSVP link in four steps. No event listing, no ticket types, no checkout to configure. ### 1. Add your guest list Type guests in or import a CSV or Excel file. Every phone number is validated before anything sends. ### 2. Send the invitation Your invitation image or event website link lands in WhatsApp, or by text, from a real business number. ### 3. Guests reply with one tap Yes, No or Not sure yet, inside the message. No ticket page, no checkout, no account. ### 4. Reminders follow up Automatic, on your schedule, only to guests who have not answered. ## A ticket is not an RSVP. Ticketing answers the question “who paid to get in?”. An RSVP answers “is Aunt Ruth coming, and is she bringing both kids?”. The two tools look similar from a distance and behave very differently for your guests. ##### A personal link per guest Each link opens one guest's invitation with their name on it. No anonymous registrations to match up afterwards. ##### Nothing public There is no event listing and no page a stranger can find. The event exists only in the messages you sent. ##### No checkout, no ticket email Guests tap Yes or No. They do not fill a form, pick a quantity or save a PDF to their phone. ## Eventbrite and Eventi, side by side. Different tools for different events. Pick by what your guests should open.   Eventbrite Eventi Built for Public events that sell or register tickets Private events with a named guest list What the guest opens A public event page with a checkout A personal message with Yes and No buttons Who can see the event Anyone with the link, and search if listed Only the guests you invited Reminders Emails to registered attendees Messages only to guests who have not answered Headcount One ticket per registration A follow-up question for how many are coming Payment Fees on paid tickets, see Eventbrite's pricing page Pay once per event, by invitations, nothing charged to guests ### Weddings and engagement parties Named guests, households with plus-ones, a headcount the caterer trusts, and a free wedding website for the details. Nothing public, nothing ticketed. ### Birthdays, showers and reunions A guest list you already have in your phone, an invitation image, and replies that arrive in one place instead of across six chats. ### Company dinners and team events Invite the staff list, collect dietary notes with the reply, and export the confirmed names for the venue. No registration page for colleagues to find. If you are selling tickets to a workshop, a concert or a conference, stay with Eventbrite. The checkout, the ticket scanning and the public listing are exactly what a paid event needs, and Eventi does none of them. The moment the event is private and the guests have names, the fit flips: you want to know whether a specific person is coming, not how many tickets sold, and you want the reply to take one tap rather than a registration form. If you are inviting people you know, read how the [RSVP link](/rsvp-link) works, see what [online RSVP](/online-rsvp) looks like without a form, or set up a free [RSVP website](/rsvp-website) for the event details. ## Eventbrite RSVP questions, answered.
