Joy is a strong free option for couples who want a wedding website with RSVP built in. But its invitation editor is basic — you pick a layout and fill in the blanks. GuestCard treats the invitation itself as a full design canvas, adds per-ceremony RSVP for multi-day events, includes livestream support, and delivers each guest their photos after the event via Pixbox. It also works for birthdays, baby showers, and any event — not just weddings.
Not just for weddings. GuestCard works for any event type — corporate, birthday, baby shower, mehendi, sangeet.
Per-ceremony RSVP. For multi-day Indian weddings and cultural events, GuestCard tracks attendance per ceremony — not just a single yes/no.
Livestream included. Joy has no livestream support; GuestCard's Pro tier includes it for remote family and guests.
Designer templates from the marketplace. Joy's template selection is curated by their team. GuestCard has an open marketplace where independent artists publish designs.
Joy's core features are free — RSVP, website, and basic invitations. Custom domain is $20/year extra. GuestCard's first event is free, then $5 per event after that ($10 for unlimited guests). If you're planning one wedding and want the most features at zero cost, Joy is competitive. If you want a better editor and more event types, GuestCard is worth the $5.
Joy is almost entirely wedding-focused. The product, templates, and features are all built around weddings. GuestCard supports any event type — birthdays, corporate events, baby showers, cultural celebrations with multiple ceremonies.
Joy includes a basic shared photo album where guests can upload pictures. GuestCard integrates with Pixbox to do something more powerful: each guest gets a personalized feed of only the photos they appear in, delivered automatically via AI face matching — no manual tagging required.
First event free. Canvas editor, RSVP tracking, schedule, livestream, and post-event photos — all in one link.
