GuestSnap pricing
2026: $45 per event
+ a free alternative
How much does GuestSnap cost? GuestSnap is $45 per event, and there's no free tier worth using for a full event. It's a polished product - but if you're hosting more than one gathering, the per-event fees stack up. Knipsmig offers the same core experience free, with an optional $29 one-time upgrade to keep an event forever.
