As mentioned a few posts ago, Guestlist becomes a paid service beginning today. After 10 months of open beta service, hundreds of thousands of dollars in ticket sales, and dozens of feature updates, we’re finally ready to open the till and start paying our bills.

How much does it cost?

We’re happy to say that Guestlist will only cost 2% of each ticket sold, *with no minimum fee*. We believe we’re the only event registration provider that foregoes a minimum fee, which, when coupled with our competitive 2% commission, gives both small and large events a single affordable solution. Run the numbers, and you’ll find Guestlist is tough to beat.

How will you charge me?

Guestlist will never send you a monthly bill, or ask for your credit card number. Instead, we take our commission at transaction time, every time a ticket is sold, securely via PayPal. If you need a receipt, an ongoing tally of payments you’ve made to Guestlist will be available inside your Guestlist account, under the “My Account” link.

Existing events are unaffected

If you’ve already published an event page on Guestlist, don’t worry - we won’t charge you a cent. This will only affect events going forward.

Charitible events will still be free

Guestlist will continue to be 100% free to use for charitable events and organizations. If you believe your event or organization qualifies, please contact us.

More improvements on the way

In just the past few months we’ve introduced custom fields, branded emails, and copyable events, and more is on the way. Becoming a paid service enables us to keep growing Guestlist, by adding more really useful features, delivering better performance, and providing more timely support. We’re very grateful to everyone who’s used Guestlist over the past year, and we’re hopeful that you’ll remain onboard as customers going forward.
