Family and class reunion planner
Reunionsoft vs Reunly: a modern hub for a class you can already reach vs finding the class first.
In their words: “The reunion planning platform. Plan reunions without the chaos.”
Reunly started as a family reunion planner and added a class reunion product with a public hub page, RSVPs, Stripe ticketing, a committee task roadmap, and night-of tools like QR name badges and a live photo wall. It charges a one-time fee per reunion with no platform cut on tickets.
The short version
Who should pick which.
Reunly is a well-designed hub at a fair price, and its night-of toolkit is genuinely fun. It assumes you already know how to reach the class. Reunionsoft starts one step earlier, finding the people, and gives the committee a full site, texting, and a budget on the way to the party.
Reunly is best for
Small committees that want a modern, inexpensive hub and fun night-of extras, and already have everyone's contact info.
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 actually locate lost classmates with current email, phone, and address. Reunly reads names off a yearbook scan and leaves the finding to you.
- Two-way texting from a class number and a shared inbox for replies, both confirmed features rather than guide mentions.
- A real multi-page reunion site in your school colors with a custom domain, plus a private class group with polls.
- A budget tracker that tells the committee how many tickets cover the venue minimum.
The honest take
Where Reunly is better.
- No platform cut on tickets: the committee pays Stripe's rate and nothing more.
- Night-of extras we don't have: games, a time capsule, anonymous notes, and a memorial wall.
- A printable directory and a QR badge system that's already shipped.

Their pricing page says $99 per reunion. Several older articles on their site still quote $39 or $79. We compare against the pricing page.
It extracts names from yearbook scans and drafts outreach emails. It doesn't look up current contact information. Reunionsoft does, using licensed public-record data, and charges a credit only when a match is verified.
They're a nickel apart. Reunly passes through Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30. Reunionsoft charges 2.9% + $0.25 all in, card processing included, and pays the committee with no per-payout fee.
