A link for every list
Each artist, partner and crew gets an invite link with its own spots and plus-ones.
Music, venues and nightlife
The guest list for shows, venues and club nights.
Guestcount runs the list for shows and venue nights: an invite link for every artist, partner and crew with its own spots and plus-ones, credit for every guest they bring, ticket sales through your own Stripe account, and a door that searches, scans and adds walk-ups from staff phones. Every guest stays on your contact list, so the next night starts from who came to the last one.

A door built for a line
Search, scan and walk-ups on staff phones, with your blocklist enforced at the door.
What's the best guest list app for a venue or club night?
Look for one where every artist, partner and door person works from the same live list. In Guestcount, each list comes in through its own invite link, guests RSVP on your event page, and door staff check them in from their phones against that same list, so a late addition reaches the door right away.
How do artists and partners run their own guest lists?
Create an invite link for each artist, partner, crew or channel, set how many RSVPs it allows and how many plus-ones each guest gets, and share it. A link can belong to a partner in your contact book, to one person, or to nobody. Turn on approval for a link if you want to check its guests first.
Can I see who each artist or partner brought?
Yes. Every RSVP is credited to the invite link it came through, and RSVPs, approvals and check-ins are counted per link and per partner, so after the night you can see who actually brought people through the door, not just who put names down. See Guest Intelligence.
How do I control plus-ones on the list?
Set how many plus-ones each guest may bring, per guest or per invite link, so a headliner's link can carry more than a promo crew's. Capacity applies on top, and with the waitlist turned on, guests who reply once the event is full join a waitlist. At the door, you choose who may let a guest go past their plus-one limit.
Can I sell tickets for a show?
Yes. Once ticket sales are turned on for your account, connect your own Stripe account and set a ticket price, and guests pay for each place on the RSVP page, with the money going to your Stripe account. Each event has one ticket price. A paid event can't be published until your Stripe account can take payments and you have added your own purchase terms, because guests are buying from you.
Can guest-list names get in free on a ticketed show?
Yes. Give an invite link its own ticket terms, either a discount or free entry, and everyone who comes through that link gets them, so an artist's list can be comped while everyone else pays. You can also create discount codes with a use limit and an end date, and see who used each code.
How fast is check-in at the door?
Door staff search by name or phone number, scan a guest's QR code, or add a walk-up on iOS, a shared phone or the dashboard. They sign in with their phone number, with no seat or PIN, and never see full phone numbers. In the iOS app, check-ins made on a poor connection are kept and retried. See the door check-in checklist.
Can I keep someone out across all my events?
Yes. Add them to your blocklist by phone number or email, with a reason, and they are refused across all your events, at the door included. A match on name alone flags the guest for door staff to check. You also decide who on your door team may add walk-ups, and taking that away works immediately.
Does Guestcount work for a weekly night or a full venue calendar?
Yes. Duplicate last week's event into a new draft that keeps its access, approval and plus-one settings. On the Essential, Growth, and Brand plans, every guest is one contact across your events, with their attendance and show rate, so you can invite your regulars to the next night. See event CRM.
How much does Guestcount cost for a venue?
A single event starts at $249, and that covers the RSVP page, the guest list and check-in. Venues that run events every week can use a monthly or annual plan (Essential, Growth, and Brand). See pricing.
