The menus to create and manage the RSVP's is extremely intuitive and easy to use. Overall, smooth and fast. > > **Cons**: You can't customize the email invites. It has a default template that isn't especially visually strong when compared to the RSVP landing page. > > 1st time setting up a business event RSVP and it is more professional than evite or paperless post. I was able to quickly set up an event RSVP page, invitations, upload an invite list and go\! ----- ### "Unauthorized billing" — 4.0/5 > **Karen** | *04 September 2020* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The program created a nice looking design for the event I was hosting, but ending the automatically enrolled subscription has been a nightmare. Blackbird continues billing me monthly, despite my not using their services and indicating repeatedly in writing that I no longer wished to be enrolled in their services. > > **Cons**: For small business owners, time is money. We look for options that save us time. Although the RSVP/event feature worked well for me, the time I have spent trying to resolve faulty billing issues with Blackbird, completely takes away from any benefit I may have gained in using their service. > > Terrible, thanks to the lack of communication on their part, and their continued monthly billing for services I am not receiving and have requested repeatedly be terminated. ----- ### "doesnt work" — 1.0/5 > **gayle** | *13 October 2018* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Can RSVP and send payment Can change font color and background color > > **Cons**: 1) I sent myself a test invite and the invite arrived blank. The event title and the RSVP button were missing. 2) Says I can send invites for free but they asked me for my credit card information without explaining why they were charging my credit card. 3) There are 12 background images to choose from and none represented my event. All backgrounds the same regardless of what type of event you choose: birthday, wedding, holiday, etc. 4) The invite ends up looking ugly. 5) I have clicked the publish button several times and it will not publish even though I confirmed my email address as required. 6) The website is in English, but there is a paragraph at the bottom of the page in a different language. > > terrible, I cant get it to work. ----- ### "Blackbird for Events" — 5.0/5 > **Bailey** | *23 September 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I could customize the event page and not have to stick with one color or theme. > > **Cons**: I didn't have a dislike, it did the job. > > I liked it. I would use it again for personal or work. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/158042/blackbird-rsvp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
