How do Guestboard Credits work?
Whether you're organizing your first Guestboard event, or your 50th, every new event starts with 30 free Guestboard Credits. You'll notice this counter in the upper right of your event (if you are an organizer). Once these free credits have been used, you'll need to purchase additional Credits to allow for more guests to join your event.
How are credits deducted?
Credits are ONLY deducted as guests join the event with an RSVP of either Yes or Maybe. **Unused credits never expire **and can be used for organizing any future event.
Why the credits system? Why not charge per event, or in blocks of guests?
If you're familiar with other event platforms, you'll know that some choose to charge in "blocks" of invites (e.g. $600 for 500 invites), or a monthly subscription fee (e.g. $30/mo for a "premium" account with all the features).
After talking to thousands of event planners, party people, conference organizers and others, we found irritable flaws in each of these alternative models. What if you only throw a couple events a year? What if you want to invite 500 people, but know that only around 300 will show?
The Guestboard credit system offers flexibility for the organizer first and foremost – and allows us to accommodate both small personal events and large conferences – while remaining price competitive.
What if someone changes their RSVP from "Attending" to "Not Attending"? Do you refund the credit?
Unfortunately, to prevent "gaming the system", once a credit is deducted, it cannot be refunded to your account based on attendee RSVP changes.
Similarly, once credits are purchased, these are also non-refundable – although they never expire and can be applied to any future Guestboard event over 30 people.
