MijnEvent vs GuestlistOnline
GuestlistOnline is an international guest-list and RSVP platform aimed at nightclubs, promoters, weddings and festivals. There are four plans from free to €249 per year, plus a transaction fee of €0.25 plus 5% per ticket sold. Payments run through your own Stripe Connect account. The site is available in seven languages, including Dutch.
Short answer
GuestlistOnline is strong on guest lists and door check-in, but charges €0.25 + 5% per ticket — a rate you will not find on their pricing page. MijnEvent charges from €0.25 per ticket, incl. VAT, regardless of price.
Summary
Facts about GuestlistOnline
- The €0.25 + 5% per-ticket transaction fee is not on the pricing page, appearing only in the terms, a blog article and one product page.
- The pricing page meanwhile advertises "no hidden fees".
- The binding terms state the amount in dollars ($0.25 + 5%), while all marketing quotes euros.
- On a €50 ticket their fee comes to €2.75, against €0.50 for a flat per-ticket fee.
- Resale is contractually forbidden and refunds are entirely the organizer's responsibility.
- No legal entity, company number, VAT number or business address is published — only "Amsterdam, Netherlands".

Pricing
MijnEvent
GuestlistOnline
GuestlistOnline pricing last verified: July 28, 2026. Subject to change.
GuestlistOnline sells tickets. MijnEvent runs your entire organisation.
GuestlistOnline sells tickets. MijnEvent sells tickets and rents out your boats, halls and equipment, seats your visitors on a floor plan, sells your merchandise, takes orders at the bar and the food trucks, manages your memberships and season passes, handles your parking and camping pitches, enrols your course participants, collects your donations, gathers anonymous feedback afterwards and builds your entire website if you want one — all on the same account, with the same Mollie connection, for a flat fee per transaction.
What GuestlistOnline does
International freemium RSVP and guest-list platform for nightclubs, promoters, weddings and private events.
16 of these 18 capabilities are missing from GuestlistOnline.
What MijnEvent also does
You switch every module on or off yourself. Click through for what it does and what it costs. Dimmed = GuestlistOnline offers this as well.
- One account Everything under the same subdomain and the same back office. No second vendor, no second login, no export files dragged back and forth.
- One Mollie connection You connect Mollie once. Every module settles through it, straight into your own account — tickets, rentals, merchandise and the rest.
- A flat fee per transaction Flat amounts per paid transaction, never a percentage of your revenue. Free tickets, free bookings and donations are fee-free.
Strengths & Points of attention
GuestlistOnline — Strengths
GuestlistOnline — Points of attention
Privacy by design — only what is needed
MijnEvent only asks visitors for what a ticket really requires: name and email address — city is optional. No phone number, date of birth or full address: tickets do not need them, and elsewhere they are mostly collected for marketing. Less data means less risk for you and your visitors (GDPR).
- Name + email address
- City optional
- No phone number
- No date of birth
- No full address
Why switch to MijnEvent?
Fully published price, flat fee per ticket, Dutch legal entity and support, resale, WCAG AA
GuestlistOnline is best for
Nightclubs, promoters and private events where RSVP matters more than sales
MijnEvent is best for
Dutch organizers who want transparent pricing, accessibility built to WCAG AA, their own subdomain, privacy by design (GDPR), built-in resale, gift cards, waitlists, and self-service VAT invoices for visitors.
When is GuestlistOnline the better choice?
Choose GuestlistOnline if your work is mainly guest-list management rather than ticket sales: a nightclub, promoter collective, wedding or private venue where most names are invitations rather than sales. Their free plan and the €19.99 one-off event plan are then cheaper than any subscription, their offline check-in genuinely works without signal, and their per-promoter commission tracking is something most Dutch ticketing platforms simply do not have.
What carries over from GuestlistOnline?
An honest overview of what you take with you, what you set up again, and what stays behind at GuestlistOnline.
This comes with you
- Your visitor list — the addresses are yours. With a valid opt-in you load them into your own newsletter service and connect that to the checkout.
- Your Mollie account. You connect it again and payouts keep landing straight in your own account.
- Your branding: logo, colours and your own subdomain, so visitors see your name and not the platform's.
- Your own website and existing links — point the "Tickets" button at your subdomain or place the ticket widget on your own page.
This you set up again
- Your events, ticket types and prices are created again in your dashboard.
- Your service fees are set again per ticket type.
- Your stewards receive an invitation and set their own PIN for the scanning app.
- Modules you use — rentals, parking, memberships — are switched on one by one.
What does not come with you: tickets already sold through GuestlistOnline. Those stay valid there and their QR codes are not recognised by us — we do not import orders from another system. Most organisers therefore switch between two events, or let a running event finish at their current provider while the next one is already set up at MijnEvent.
