If you want ad-free invitations where guests do not get marketing emails, choose JustInvite. Evite has been around since 1998 and has a massive template library, but its free tier comes with ads plastered on your invitations and your guests get marketing emails after they RSVP. JustInvite gives you a clean, ad-free experience on our current plan.

Where Evite falls short
Evite's free tier puts banner ads directly on your invitation. Your carefully chosen design shares screen space with ads for car insurance or meal kits. Guests also receive marketing emails from Evite after they RSVP, which many find annoying.
To remove ads, Evite offers paid tiers that require a per-event fee (check evite.com for current pricing as of April 2026). That can be a steep price for a birthday party or casual get-together.
Evite also lacks adult and child count tracking. If you are hosting a family event and need to know how many kids meals to order, you are left guessing or sending a follow-up message.
Where JustInvite shines
Every JustInvite invitation is ad-free on our current plan, and JustInvite currently does not send marketing emails to your guests. The RSVP experience is clean and focused entirely on your event.
Guests can specify adults and kids counts when they RSVP, and you can collect dietary restrictions in the same flow. Your dashboard gives you real-time headcounts broken down by adults, kids, accepted, declined, and pending.
You also get QR code sharing, automated reminders, dark mode support, and a premium invitation experience with envelope animations and confetti — all included for free.
When to use Evite instead
Evite has an enormous template library with thousands of professionally designed invitations for every occasion imaginable. If visual design variety is your top priority and you want to browse hundreds of themed templates, Evite gives you more options.
Evite also has built-in potluck coordination, greeting cards, and a gift registry integration. If those features matter more to you than an ad-free experience, Evite is worth considering — especially on its Premium plans.
