Hostbly
Invitations, RSVPs, tickets and check-in for every kind of event, in one place.
The problem
Planners juggle guest lists, invitations and day-of logistics across WhatsApp, spreadsheets and phone calls, and guests are left unsure where to be and when.
What Hostbly does
Hostbly holds the whole event in one place, from personal invitations and RSVPs to tickets, seating, check-in at the door and a livestream for guests who can't attend.
Key features
- Personal invitation links sent by WhatsApp, SMS and email
- RSVP tracking, plus-ones and custom registration questions
- Free and paid tickets, with an automatic waitlist
- QR check-in at the door and table seating plans
- Livestreams with private links and moderated chat
- Payments through Paystack and Stripe
Built for: Couples and families, event planners and agencies, companies and tech communities
Hostbly is built for how people actually celebrate: weddings and birthdays, conferences and product launches, hackathons and meetups.
Each event holds its whole lifecycle. Guests get a personal link, reply in a few taps, and know exactly where to be. On the day, ushers check guests in from their phones while the host spends time with the people who came.
Who it's for
- Social events: couples, families and friends planning weddings, engagements, birthdays and gatherings
- Corporate events: conferences, executive dinners, retreats and town halls
- Tech and community events: hackathons, meetups, demo days and workshops
Hostbly is available in several languages and currencies, and there's a free plan that doesn't expire.
