The FileInvite alternative for collecting event files
Why are we cheaper?
We built the features event managers actually use, and trimmed the extras nobody needs. That's how we keep the price low. We're event managers too, so we know most events can't carry a big software bill. You pay once per event, so the cost is easy to pass on to your client.
