Which plan is right for how you’re planning
Honest recommendations by scenario — we’d rather you stay on the free tier than pay for something you don’t need.
Planning one kid’s birthday this year
Free tier is enough
You get the full AI plan, all 117 themes, the printable checklist, timeline, menu, shopping list, and digital invites without paying anything. Party Pass ($4.99) only makes sense if you want the cinematic recap video for Reels/TikTok or edit major details (theme, date, venue) after generating.
Planning multiple kids’ birthdays each year
Annual Pass becomes best value at 6+ parties
At $29.99/year for up to 50 parties, the Annual breaks even against Party Pass ($4.99 × 6 = $29.94) after the sixth party. For families with 3+ kids, room parents, or anyone planning both kids and adult birthdays, Annual wins on raw math.
Planning one milestone adult birthday (30th, 40th, 50th)
Free tier + Party Pass ($4.99) if you need edits
Adult themes (wine tasting, casino night, Gatsby, murder mystery, decades) all ship with the same depth as kids themes. Use the free plan first, then upgrade to Party Pass if you want to swap venue or date after the plan is generated, or if your guest count lands above 25.
Adults throwing a lot of parties: hosts, event enthusiasts, grandparents
Annual Pass
If you’re the person at work who always organizes birthdays, or the grandparent who covers both nieces and nephews, Annual at $29.99 for 50 plans is $0.60 per plan. Add priority support (response within 1 business day) and early access to new features.
Why Party Genius doesn’t do monthly subscriptions
Birthday parties are events, not recurring needs. If you plan one party a year, a $10 monthly subscription costs you $120 for something you used twelve times at most. If you plan none one year, you’re paying for nothing. Monthly SaaS billing doesn’t match how families actually plan.
Party Pass is a one-time purchase scoped to one party. Annual Pass is a year-long commitment sized to people who host a lot. You pay when you plan; we don’t drip-bill a card you forgot about. No dark-pattern cancellation flows, no trial-ending surprises, no quarterly price bumps.
If you change your mind within seven days, we refund you — no friction, no retention specialist, no questionnaire. See the terms and privacy policy for the full fine print.
Every plan and calculator output ships a print-friendly view. You can run the whole planner flow, print the result, and close the tab without ever touching an email field.
7-day refund, no questions asked
Not happy with Party Pass or Annual Pass? Email us within 7 days of purchase and we’ll refund the full amount. Stripe handles the refund directly to your original payment method — no retention calls, no forms. Read the full refund policy.
Before you upgrade — try the free tools
These eight calculators cover most of what the full plan generates. Run them standalone, print the results, see if the free tier already solves it.
Yes! Your first party is completely free with full AI features. You don’t even need to sign up to start planning. We want you to experience the full power of Party Genius AI before deciding to upgrade.
What's included in the free tier?
The free tier gives you 1 full AI-generated party plan with 117 theme options, a printable checklist, timeline, menu, shopping list, activities, treasure hunt clues, and digital invitations. You get up to 25 guests, 20 photo uploads, and 30 custom items per section.
What do I get with Party Pass?
Party Pass ($4.99 one-time) unlocks 1 additional party with everything in the free tier plus: 5 plan edits, up to 100 guests, 100 photo uploads, 2GB storage, 10 helpers, 100 custom items per section, and a cinematic recap video for TikTok and Reels.
What's the difference between Party Pass and Annual?
Party Pass covers 1 party for $4.99. The Annual Pass ($29.99/year) covers up to 50 parties — that’s $0.60 per party if you max it out. Annual also includes priority support and early access to new features.
Can I upgrade from free to Party Pass?
Absolutely. You can upgrade anytime from your dashboard or this pricing page. Your existing free party stays as-is, and the Party Pass gives you a brand new party with full editing capabilities.
Do I need an account to use the free tools?
No account needed for our 25 free planning tools (pizza calculator, budget planner, guest list, etc.). You only need to sign up when you want to save a full AI-generated party plan to your dashboard.
What counts as an “edit”?
Edits are major changes like theme, age, venue type, date, guest count, or budget. Simple fixes like typos in names or time adjustments are always free and don’t count against your edit limit.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes — we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on all purchases. If Party Genius AI doesn’t meet your expectations, contact us within 7 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
Why no monthly subscription?
Birthday parties are special moments, not monthly occurrences. We designed our pricing to match how families actually plan: one party at a time with Party Pass, or all year’s celebrations with the Annual Pass. No wasted subscriptions!
Do Party Passes expire?
Single Party Passes never expire — use them whenever you’re ready. The Annual Pass is valid for 12 months from purchase and covers up to 50 parties during that time.
Which plan is right for a one-time birthday?
For a single birthday the free tier covers most people — you get the full AI plan, all 117 themes, and the printable checklist/timeline/menu/shopping list without paying anything. Party Pass ($4.99) only makes sense if you want the cinematic recap video, larger guest limits (100 vs 25), or the ability to edit major details after generating.
Which plan is right for planning multiple parties a year?
Annual Pass ($29.99/year, up to 50 parties) is the right choice if you plan more than 6 parties in a year — that is when per-party cost drops below the $4.99 one-time pass. Popular for families with multiple kids, birthday clubs, room parents, event-adjacent professionals, and anyone celebrating a lot of milestones in one calendar year.
Is my payment information stored on Party Genius servers?
No. All payments go through Stripe Checkout — Party Genius never touches your card number or billing details. Stripe handles PCI compliance, fraud detection, and refunds. We only store the purchase metadata (which plan you bought, when) tied to your account.
