Valore vs Evite: Classic online invitations vs. a free hosting platform.
Evite is the name most people know for online invitations, with a big library of designs and a simple per-event price for premium invites: in the US, Premium starts at $17.99 for up to 12 guests and goes to $99.99 for 750. Valore is free to host with no guest tiers, and goes past the invitation: paid tickets, approvals, waitlists, subscribable calendars, QR check-in and an AI agent that runs the follow-ups.
Choose Valore if…
- You don't want to pay more as your guest list grows
- You sell tickets, or want approvals, waitlists or registration questions
- You host regularly and want a calendar people can subscribe to
- You want QR check-in at the door
Choose Evite if…
- You want a specific card-style invitation design from a large template library
- Your guests are used to RSVPing on Evite
- It's a one-off party and you don't need tickets or check-in
