Event website builder
Reunionsoft vs MyEvent: a subscription website builder vs one flat fee for the whole reunion.
In their words: “Reunions, events and fundraising made easy.”
MyEvent has been building event websites since 2002 and has a dedicated class reunion product with a classmate directory, photo albums, memorials, and built-in ticketing. The real feature set sits behind a monthly or yearly subscription, and ticket sales carry a platform fee on top of card processing.
The short version
Who should pick which.
MyEvent is a capable event website builder with a reunion skin. If your class already knows where to find you and the committee just needs a site and a ticket page, it works. If half the class is missing and you want the money and the planning in one place, Reunionsoft is the shorter path.
MyEvent is best for
Committees that want a long-lived, multi-page class website with albums and memorials, and don't mind a subscription.
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.

The Reunionsoft advantage
Where we pull ahead.
- We find the classmates you've lost. MyEvent waits for them to register.
- One flat fee instead of a yearly subscription to unlock email and memorials.
- Text messaging, a shared inbox, budget, task board, and check-in with photo name tags. MyEvent has none of these.
- Payouts land in about two business days with no per-payout fee. MyEvent holds funds 10 to 14 days and charges $3.50 to $30 per payout.
The honest take
Where MyEvent is better.
- Twenty-plus years in business and live phone support on weekdays.
- Photo albums, guest book, and a memorials page are all mature.
- A 50-page site builder if the class wants a permanent home, not just a reunion.
