Luma
Event pages with registration, reminders and check-in, free for unlimited events and guests.
The best free all-rounder: the most generous free tier and the widest set of channels.
Where it fits
Luma fits when the event has a guest list you need to manage: a team offsite, a community meetup, a launch or a workshop. If you just want a pretty birthday invite for twenty friends, Partiful or Evite feel warmer.
Best for: Work events, meetups, workshops and anything where you want a proper guest list.

Limits

- Paid tickets carry a 5% platform fee on the free plan, on top of the card fee.
- Looks like an event page, not a designed card: less suited to a birthday you want to look festive.
