Guestlist

What Guestlist does

Guestlist is a cloud-based event management platform and guest check-in application operated by Pixable s.r.o., a Slovak limited liability company headquartered in Bratislava with a commercial presence in New York. The platform serves individual and SMB event organizers across four primary verticals — private events (weddings, gala dinners), corporate events (conferences, seminars), concerts and festivals, and community gatherings — with a product suite covering event creation, branded event pages, RSVP collection, ticket sales, multi-device check-in, and real-time analytics. The underlying technology stack is a web platform with native iOS and Android applications, an offline-first architecture with automatic multi-device synchronization, QR-code-based ticket scanning, and integrations with Stripe and PayPal for payments, Twilio for email/SMS, AWS for email delivery, and Linode for cloud hosting.

The business model is multi-tiered and PLG-first: a free tier supports up to 30 guests per event, pay-as-you-go upgrades scale events to 10,000 guests on a one-time payment basis, and monthly/yearly subscriptions offer unlimited events with tier-based guest caps. Ticketing, launched in June 2025, charges organizers 0% platform fees on ticket sales, with monetization relying indirectly on Stripe processing economics and the conversion of ticketing users into subscription plans. The go-to-market motion is self-serve for SMBs and individuals (with mobile apps on Apple App Store and Google Play as primary acquisition surfaces), supplemented by an enterprise sales channel ([email protected]) and content marketing through SEO articles and social presence on X and LinkedIn. The company reports thousands of users, a 4.8-star mobile app rating across 521 reviews, and a 94% user satisfaction metric, with named customers including Sparkle Factory, Resonance, Elixir Events, and CPH used as testimonials rather than enterprise anchors.
