Hejmo
Hejmo is the headcount tool for family events: one private link per family, two-tap replies with no guest accounts, and a clear count of who's coming.
Best for
- Family events where one person answers for the household
- Private links that don't make guests sign up
- Setting up and sharing from your phone in a few minutes
Consider other tools for
- Ticketed public events and event discovery
- Invites where the design matters more than the headcount
- Conference registration and large-event management
Eventbrite
Eventbrite excels at ticketed, public events. Hejmo is built for private gatherings: no tickets or checkout, one link per family, and a two-tap reply.
Strengths
- Ticketing and payments
- Discovery for public events
Tradeoffs
- Built for public listings and ticket sales, which is more than a private gathering needs
- Registration and checkout steps can add friction to a casual RSVP

Questions
Can I use Hejmo for paid events?
No. Hejmo doesn't sell tickets or collect payments. For a paid event, a ticketing tool like Eventbrite is the right choice.
How fast is the RSVP flow?
Two taps on a phone, with no account.
What about privacy?
Each family gets its own private link, and guests can't see who else is invited. If a link spreads too far, replace it and the old one stops working.
Can I co-host?
Yes. Add co-hosts to manage the event with you, free.
