How it works
From idea to RSVPs, in one place
One event, start to finish. Each step starts from what you've already entered.
Create an event
Add the date, the place and a short “why come” line. It shows on your calendar and home page, with add-to-calendar links.
Make its flyer
Creative Studio fills in the details from the event, with your logo, a photo and your sponsors. The QR code opens the RSVP page.
Include it in a newsletter
Add the flyer to an email newsletter. Readers answer from the email with one tap — no account needed.
Collect responses
See who's going, who might come and who can't, as the answers arrive. Questionnaires collect answers the same way.
Screenshots show an example community. Its names and places are made up.

- Starts from your community's logo and colors, and the event's details
- Add your own photos and your sponsors' logos
- The QR code opens the RSVP page or questionnaire you attach the flyer to
- Reuse a design: duplicate it, change it, and use it again

Try 3 Creative Studio flyers free.
One-time trial per community. No quarterly reset. A flyer counts the first time you download or attach it. Starting, previewing and editing don't count, and using a counted flyer again is included.
To keep making flyers after the trial, Creative Studio is $10/month on the $49/month Club plan — $59/month in total if you're on Free today. It includes 10 AI backgrounds a month. You never need AI to make a flyer, and AI backgrounds aren't part of the free trial.

Good to know
- Who counts as a member: everyone on your Members list, including admins and people you added who haven't signed in yet. Mailing-list and text contacts, followers, pending applications and unused invite links don't count.
- At 50 members on Free: everyone stays. New joins, invites and approvals pause until you upgrade.
- Texting: not available yet. It starts after a one-time carrier approval, which usually takes a few days to two weeks. One credit is one text to one person (long texts use more). There are no automatic overage charges, and unused credits don't roll over.
- Creative Studio trial: 3 flyers, one time per community — it doesn't reset. Flyers you've used stay editable and usable after the trial.
- Your own domain: you'll change a setting with the company where you bought the domain. We show you exactly what to enter.
- Upgrading: from your community's Plan & billing page. While online checkout is being finished, an upgrade there is a request: StarKind contacts you to set it up, and nothing is charged on the page.
- Cancel anytime. Nothing you've made is deleted. Prices are in US dollars.

Questions
Common questions
Is StarKind free?
Yes. The Free plan costs $0 for up to 50 members, and you don't need a credit card to start. It includes your community's page, the calendar and RSVPs, email newsletters, questionnaires, volunteer sign-ups, photos, discussions, a blog, sponsors, the Sales Corner, the simple flyer maker and a one-time trial of 3 Creative Studio flyers. Groups that grow past 50 members can move to the Club plan for $49 a month.
Can our church, neighborhood or hobby group use it?
Yes. StarKind is for community groups of all kinds: churches, neighborhood groups, sports clubs, hobby and collector groups, artist collectives, nonprofits and volunteer organizations. Each community gets its own page and chooses whether people can join freely, apply to join, or join by invitation only.
Can people RSVP or answer questionnaires without joining?
Yes. RSVP buttons in your newsletters and invitations work with one tap, without an account. You can also turn on a shareable RSVP link for an event, or a shareable link for a questionnaire, so anyone with the link can answer without signing in. Volunteer sign-ups and the mailing-list sign-up on your page don't need an account either.
What happens after the three free Creative Studio flyers?
The trial is one time per community and doesn't reset. A flyer counts the first time you download it or attach it; starting, previewing and editing don't count, and using a counted flyer again is included. After the trial, the flyers you've used stay editable and usable. To start or use another design you need Creative Studio: $10 a month on the Club plan, with 10 AI backgrounds a month. On the Free plan that means Club ($49) plus Creative Studio ($10): $59 a month in total.
