Alumni directory
Reunionsoft vs AlumniClass.com: a free listing in someone else's directory vs your own class site and roster.
In their words: “Find high school alumni, reunions, photos, yearbooks.”
AlumniClass.com is a per-school alumni directory with millions of registered profiles. Organizers can post a reunion listing for free with RSVPs, a message board, photos, memorials, and ticket sales. Attendees pay a flat fee per purchase, and reaching classmates means reaching the ones who already registered on AlumniClass.
The short version
Who should pick which.
AlumniClass.com is a directory first and a reunion tool second. Posting your reunion there costs nothing and might reach a few classmates you'd otherwise miss, so do it. Run the reunion itself somewhere the committee can see the roster, the money, and the plan in one place.
AlumniClass.com is best for
Posting a reunion where alumni who already use AlumniClass will see it, alongside your main planning tool.
Reunionsoft is best for
The volunteer who has to find the class, get the word out, sell the tickets, and keep the committee organized, for one flat fee.

Yes. The listing, RSVPs, and ticket sales are free to set up. Attendees pay $2.95 per purchase plus an undisclosed card fee, and payouts by direct deposit or check carry a small fee.
Not from AlumniClass. Its invitation email goes to registered members only, and you can't upload a list. Reunionsoft imports your list and finds current contact info for the people on it.
That's a reasonable combo. Post the date and a link to your Reunionsoft class page, then run RSVPs and tickets there so nothing lives in two places.
