Avely.me gained traction around Bento's shutdown — an indie product that has been growing fast. It deserves the attention. Here's how it actually compares to Kasbu.
Free plan, side by side
| Kasbu Free | Avely Free | |
|---|---|---|
| Watermark | None | Avely branding |
| Analytics | Total profile visits | Limited to last 24 hours |
| Video uploads | Standard limits | 25MB cap |
| QR code | Yes | No |
| Wallet pass | Apple + Google | No |
Paid plans
Avely's Creator tier (€3.99/mo) is cheap — but the watermark stays even when you pay, and analytics extend only to 3 days. Removing branding requires Pro at €11.99/mo. Kasbu Free has no watermark at all, and Kasbu Pro adds custom domains, advanced analytics, and premium backgrounds and materials.
Where Avely wins
- Momentum and community: built in public, responsive founders, fast iteration.
- Booking widgets: Calendly/Cal.com integration is first-class.
Where Kasbu wins
- No watermark, ever — including free.
- 30+ card types vs a narrower widget set: music players, maps, GitHub, QR, files, products, HTML.
- Real-world sharing: QR profiles and Apple/Google Wallet passes, unique in the segment.
- 9 languages and full analytics on Pro (daily visits, devices, countries).
- Maturity: stable and complete, with custom domains live.
Bottom line
Avely is a young product with great energy. Kasbu is the finished version of the same idea: a Bento-style grid that's free without branding, deeper in card types, and shareable offline. Try Kasbu free — or read our full Bento migration guide.
