Partiful is a free, casual event-invite app that's popular for parties: you share an event page and guests RSVP on it. Addressed is built for events where the details matter, like weddings, where you need mailing addresses, meal choices, plus-ones and a confirmed headcount for each event.
What Partiful is
Partiful lets hosts create a shareable event page that guests open to RSVP and see updates. It's widely used for birthdays, house parties and other casual get-togethers.
What Addressed does
- Guests RSVP by replying to a text message. No app, account or login for guests.
- An AI reads replies like "yes, two of us, fish please" and records the RSVP, party size and meal choice.
- Collects guests' mailing addresses by text, ready for save-the-dates, invitations and thank-you cards.
- Automatic reminders go only to guests who haven't answered yet.
- WhatsApp messaging on every paid plan, with automatic fallback to SMS when WhatsApp can't deliver.
- Multi-event weekends: welcome drinks, rehearsal dinner, ceremony and brunch, each with its own RSVP.
- CSV exports of addresses, headcounts and meal choices for stationers, caterers and resorts.
- Free for one event with up to 75 guests; paid plans per event or monthly.
Choose Partiful if

Using both
Plenty of people use Partiful for the bachelorette or the after-party and Addressed for the wedding itself, where the guest list, addresses and headcounts have to be exact.
