Gratuit jusqu'à 50 invités · Offre gratuite : sans carte bancaire · Événements gratuits : sans frais
Réponse courte
GuestQueue does one thing, guest lists for nightclubs, lounges and promoters, and does it in the browser on any device: public and private lists per promoter, QR codes with Apple and Google Wallet passes, name search at the door and reports that show who each promoter actually brought in. It has no ticketing at all, publishes no offline mode, no languages other than English and no data location, and its monthly plans are priced per guest sign-up per event date, from $109 a month for 250. GuestlistOnline covers the same door with offline QR scanning, adds paid tickets at 5% + €0.25 with processing included, promoter links that calculate commissions, seven languages and EU hosting, from €0 to €29 a month with unlimited guests on every paid plan.
Côte à côte
Comparaison des fonctionnalités

| How the price scales | By plan, never by guest count: Per Event and Pro include unlimited guests | By guest sign-ups: every plan caps sign-ups per event date, and pay-as-you-go deducts one credit per guest added |
| Selling tickets | Built in: no fees on free events; paid tickets 5% + €0.25 per ticket, payment processing included | No ticketing. GuestQueue describes itself as guest lists only, so paid entry needs a separate ticketing tool |
| Guest list & RSVP | ||
| Promoter lists | Promoter links with commissions calculated per promoter, plus per-promoter reporting | Each promoter gets an assigned public or private list, a sign-up link and reports that compare sign-ups with check-ins for payouts; commissions are not calculated |
| Sign-up forms | Registration page per event with custom questions, plus-ones and your branding, in 7 languages | A sign-up link per public list, embeddable on a website, with standard fields (including gender and birthday) and custom text or list fields |

| Guest import | CSV import with names, email addresses and mapped columns | Excel import and export of guest lists |
| Check-in & door | ||
| QR check-in | QR code per guest in the confirmation email, scanned in the browser or the PWA scanner on every paid plan | QR code by email that guests can add to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, repeated in the reminder email, scanned from any device |
| Offline mode | Full offline scanning: the list syncs before the door opens, scans run locally, results sync back | Not published. Every page describes a live shared list, which needs a connection |
| Several doors at once | Multiple scanner devices on the same guest list, synced live, with door-staff access tokens | Staff at every door work from the same live list on phones, tablets or computers, no app download |
| Who came for whom | Check-in status per guest and per promoter link, exportable | Records who checked in, when they arrived and which list they came from, with a male and female split |
| Branding & communication | ||
| Reminders and texts | Email invitations, confirmations, reminders and templates in your branding, no SMS blasts | Email confirmations and day-of reminders included; text messages need SMS credits, priced on request |

Principales différences
Ce qui les distingue
Les détails qui comptent lorsque vous choisissez entre les deux.
Priced per guest sign-up vs unlimited guests
GuestQueue counts guest sign-ups per event date: 30 on the free plan, 250 for $109 a month, 1,200 for $309, and the pay-as-you-go packs deduct one credit per guest you add. A busy Saturday with 400 names costs a Deluxe plan. GuestlistOnline prices by plan, not by guest: Per Event is €19.99 for one event with unlimited guests and Pro is €29 a month for unlimited events and guests.
Guest lists only vs guest lists plus tickets
GuestQueue says so itself: guest lists, and guest lists only. There is no way to sell a ticket, a table or a pre-sale through it, so a venue that charges entry runs a second tool at the door. GuestlistOnline sells paid tickets from the same event page at 5% + €0.25 with processing included, pays out through your own Stripe account, and charges nothing on free events.
Offline scanning: published vs not
GuestQueue runs as a live shared list in the browser and nowhere on its site does it say what happens when the door loses signal. GuestlistOnline's PWA scanner downloads the list before the doors open, scans locally with no connection, and syncs the results back afterwards, on both iPhone and Android.
Where GuestQueue wins: the promoter roster
GuestQueue is built around the weekly promoter list. Each promoter gets an assigned public or private list with its own sign-up link, close time, guest limit and plus-one cap, and the reports split check-ins by list and by gender so you can pay promoters on bodies through the door rather than sign-ups. Wallet passes for every guest and a Guest API plus Zapier on every plan round it off. GuestlistOnline's promoter links calculate commissions, but it has no gender split and its API sits on Enterprise.
La justice avant tout
Quand GuestQueue est le meilleur choix
If you run a nightclub or lounge with the same guest list every week, a roster of promoters and no paid entry, GuestQueue is built for exactly that routine.
- A weekly promoter roster where each promoter owns a list and is paid on check-ins
- Apple and Google Wallet passes for every guest on every plan
- Guest API and Zapier without an enterprise contract
- A gender split on sign-ups and check-ins in the reports
Migration
Passer de GuestQueue
GuestQueue exports guest lists to Excel from the dashboard, and the Guest API can pull the same data. Export the sheet, save it as CSV and import it into GuestlistOnline, mapping names, email addresses and any custom field you want to keep as a custom question or tag.
- Guest names, email addresses and phone numbers
- Custom field answers, mapped to custom questions or tags on import
- Plus-one counts, as a number per guest
- Check-in history, as the exported record of who arrived and when
- Promoter lists and their sign-up links, GuestlistOnline replaces them with promoter links that calculate commissions
- Apple and Google Wallet passes, guests get a new QR code by email
- Remaining pay-as-you-go credits and SMS credits
- Zapier zaps built on the GuestQueue Guest API
Questions courantes
Questions fréquentes sur GuestlistOnline vs GuestQueue.
How much does GuestQueue cost compared with GuestlistOnline?
GuestQueue is free for 30 guest sign-ups per event date, then $109 a month for 250, $209 for 600 and $309 for 1,200, or pay-as-you-go credit packs from $109 for 250 guests. GuestlistOnline is free for one event with 50 guests, €19.99 for a single event with unlimited guests, and €29 a month or €249 a year for unlimited events and guests, with paid tickets at 5% + €0.25 including processing.
Can I sell tickets with GuestQueue?
No. GuestQueue describes itself as guest lists only and offers no ticketing, so paid entry or pre-sales need a separate tool. GuestlistOnline sells tickets from the same event page, pays out through your own Stripe account, and charges nothing on free events.
Does GuestQueue work offline at the door?
GuestQueue does not publish an offline mode. It runs as a live shared list in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, which needs a connection. GuestlistOnline's scanner downloads the list before the doors open, scans with no signal and syncs the results back afterwards.
How does GuestQueue handle promoters?
Well: each promoter gets an assigned public or private list with its own sign-up link, close time, guest limit and plus-one cap, and the reports compare sign-ups with check-ins per list so you can pay on actual attendance. It does not calculate commissions. GuestlistOnline gives each promoter a link, tracks who arrived through it and calculates the commission for you.
Is GuestQueue available in other languages, and where is the data hosted?
The site mentions no language other than English and no hosting region, and the privacy policy does not mention the GDPR. GuestlistOnline runs in 7 languages across the dashboard, the emails and the guest pages, and hosts in the EU.
Can I move my GuestQueue guest list to GuestlistOnline?
Yes. Export the guest list to Excel, save it as CSV and import it into GuestlistOnline with names, email addresses and custom fields mapped. Promoter lists, Wallet passes and remaining credits do not carry over; you set up promoter links and send new QR codes from GuestlistOnline.
