Invitely and Partiful
Last checked: October 2026
Both are free, and both make an invitation guests open in a browser without the app. The main difference is how updates reach your guests.
| Feature | Invitely | Partiful |
|---|---|---|
| Free to host | Free up to 50 guests | |
| Guests reply without the app | A name is enough; email is optional | |
| Updates by text message | Notes show on the invite and go by email | Text blasts |
| Festival greetings sent by name | Diwali, Eid, New Year and more |
Where Partiful fits
Partiful is free and built around text messages: hosts reach guests by phone number and send updates and reminders as text blasts.
Where Invitely fits
Invitely asks guests for a name only; an email address is optional. That suits a family WhatsApp group where not everyone wants to share a number. Updates show on the invite and go by email.
