SendAnInvite is FREE to use unless you decide you'd like to email your invitation to your contact list, then there is a small fee charged (see chart below).
Why charge to send email?
Two reasons;
What does it cost to send email?
SendAnInvite uses a "pay as you go" approach. There are no monthly fees or minimums. You only cost is to send your invitations. SendAnInvite charges by selling email credits. Buy as many as you need. Email credits do not expire so you can buy as many as you'd like and use them for any of your invitations without restriction.
When you sign up for an account with SendAnInvite you get to send email to yourself for FREE. This is so you can test us out at no cost. In addition you get 7 FREE email credits to use anyway you'd like. It's an easy way to try us out at no cost for your first event.
If you would like to send your invitation to a larger contact list, we charge for additional email credits as follows;
| Number of Emails | SendAnInvite Cost (USD) | Compare to U.S. Postal Rates* |
| Block of 25 emails | $4.99 | $10.25 (savings of $5.26) |
| Block of 50 emails | $7.99 | $20.50 (savings of $12.51) |
| Block of 100 emails | $11.99 | $41.00 (savings of $29.01) |
| Block of 500 emails | $47.99 | $205.00 (savings of $157.01) |
| Block of 1000 emails | $94.99 | $410.00 (savings of $315.01) |
| Block of 2000 emails | $179.99 | $820.00 (savings of $640.01) |
Are email credits only good on a per invitation basis?
No. You can use email credits for any of your invitations.
Can't I just send the invitation without buying any email credits?
Yes. SendAnInvite lets you purchase your invitation link for $19.95. When you buy your link you can email it to anyone you'd like as well as post the link to your website or blog. You still get to use all the SendAnInvite RSVP features just as if we emailed it for you. The only difference is that SendAnInvite won't be able to track who recieved your email,viewed your invitation or manage email bounces for you.
Collecting payments
If you decide to collect a payment for admission fees or tickets to an event, SendAnInvite charges a very small fee that is collected in the month following the transaction. The SendAnInvite transaction fee is 2% of the transaction cost or 80 cents whichever is greater. To charge and admission fee, a Paypal account is required. Admission fees and payments are deposited into your Paypal account when a guest RSVP's.
Full Service Option
If you don't have the time or resources to create your invitation, the Full Service Option is for you! Just send us an email with all the details of your event, any additional information you may require from your guests, if there are any space availability issues, and the date you need the RSVP's submitted by and we'll do the work for you.

Other than that, all other features like RSVP management, maps, polling, what to bring lists, RSS, etc. are all FREE
