Verdict

The call

Evite and Partiful both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Partiful's written reviews are positive against 47% of Evite's. Partiful also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#2 vs #156). Evite's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
