AllSeated was once a beloved tool among wedding planners and small venues for its accessible seating chart and floor plan features. After Cvent's acquisition in 2024, the platform has shifted toward enterprise customers, with pricing models that often exclude smaller planners and independent venues who made up much of AllSeated's original user base.
The core difference between PlanSeats and AllSeated (now Cvent) comes down to market positioning. AllSeated has evolved into an enterprise venue management platform with 3D visualization, virtual tours, and deep CRM integrations designed for large hotels and corporate event teams. PlanSeats focuses purely on seating charts and floor plans with transparent pricing that individual planners and small venues can actually afford.
For planners who loved AllSeated's simplicity, PlanSeats delivers that experience: sign up in minutes (not weeks), import your guest list, create your floor plan, and start seating. No sales calls, no enterprise contracts, no procurement processes. The free plan handles a small event; the Planner plan costs $8.99/month for unlimited guests and tables.
That said, if your workflow requires 3D venue visualization or integration with Cvent's broader event management platform, AllSeated may still be necessary. PlanSeats is 2D-focused and designed for planners who need functional seating tools rather than enterprise venue sales features.
