PlanSeats Pro Monthly
$39.99/month
Includes one seat and unlimited events.
If you use or previously used Social Tables for event diagrams, floor plans, or guest seating, PlanSeats may be a fit for the part of your workflow that connects the room to the people in it.
PlanSeats brings floor plans, tables, guest lists, seating charts, and client collaboration together in one place.
With PlanSeats Pro, professional planners can manage unlimited events, reuse venue templates, collaborate with clients, work with their team, and carry the plan through event day.
PlanSeats Pro starts at $39.99/month.
Social Tables became part of Cvent and is now known as Cvent Event Diagramming.
Cvent Event Diagramming continues the floor planning and event diagramming workflow associated with Social Tables, with tools for scaled floor plans, seating charts, attendee management, collaboration, reusable layouts, and 3D event visualization.
So if you're searching for a Social Tables alternative, you're really deciding whether Cvent Event Diagramming still fits the way you work or whether you need a different event seating workflow.
If your work centers on floor plans, tables, guests, seating, and client collaboration, PlanSeats is worth comparing.
Social Tables, now Cvent Event Diagramming, and PlanSeats overlap in floor planning, seating, attendee management, and collaboration.

If immersive 3D diagramming or the broader Cvent event-management ecosystem is central to your workflow, Cvent Event Diagramming offers capabilities PlanSeats does not.
If your workflow is primarily about connecting floor plans, tables, guests, seating, and clients across recurring events, PlanSeats Pro is a more relevant comparison.
More features don't automatically mean a better fit.
Start with the work you repeat for every event.
Where do the tables go?
Who sits where?
What does the client need to review?
How do you handle seating changes?
How do you reuse a venue you've already planned?
How do you keep multiple events organized?
PlanSeats Pro is built around those recurring jobs.
Instead of managing the room and the people as separate planning exercises, keep them connected inside the event.
Seating isn't only a diagramming problem.
It's a people problem.
Who needs to sit together?
Who needs to be separated?
Which guests have dietary requirements?
Where should families, couples, or important guests sit?
What changed since the last version?
PlanSeats keeps guest information connected to the seating chart so you can work through those decisions visually.
PlanSeats lets you adjust the working seating chart visually while keeping the guest list, tables, and floor plan connected.
The first seating chart doesn't need to become a collection of disconnected versions.
If you regularly work at the same venues, you shouldn't have to rebuild the space every time.
Your clients know their guests.
You know how to plan the event.
PlanSeats Pro gives you a structured place to bring both sides together.
Controlled client permissions let you invite clients into the seating process while keeping the professional planning workflow organized.
Instead of passing spreadsheets, screenshots, and revised seating charts back and forth, work from the same event.
When multiple people are working on an event, everyone needs access to the current plan.
PlanSeats Pro supports team roles so collaborators can work within the same professional event workflow.
One seat is included with your PlanSeats Pro subscription, and additional seats can be added as your team grows.
The floor plan and seating chart don't stop being useful when planning ends.
PlanSeats Pro includes Day-Of Mode so the information you've been building can stay useful when the event moves into execution.
Keep the current plan accessible without searching for the latest spreadsheet, screenshot, or exported seating-chart version.
Guest information can affect more than where someone sits.
PlanSeats Pro includes catering and dietary exports so information collected during guest and seating planning can support the people executing the event.
The guest list stays useful beyond the seating chart itself.
PlanSeats is not a like-for-like replacement for every Social Tables or Cvent Event Diagramming capability.
Cvent Event Diagramming includes accurately scaled floor plans, real-time collaboration, interactive floor plans, and photo-realistic 3D visualization. Cvent also connects Event Diagramming with other products in its broader event-management ecosystem.
PlanSeats does not offer an equivalent photo-realistic 3D event-design workflow.
If your priority is:
Cvent Event Diagramming may better match those requirements.
If your priority is:
PlanSeats Pro is worth comparing.
Your couples plan one wedding.
You plan them all year.
PlanSeats Pro gives wedding planners a repeatable way to manage seating across every couple.
Instead of rebuilding your process for every couple, create a workflow you can use again.
Professional event planners need more than a single diagram.
PlanSeats Pro gives you one place to manage the seating workflow across your event calendar.
Social Tables is now Cvent Event Diagramming, so current Cvent Event Diagramming pricing is more useful than historical Social Tables pricing.

Its published pricing includes Free at $0, Standard at $49 billed monthly or $480 annually, Pro at $150 billed monthly or $1,500 annually, and Premium at $320 billed monthly or $3,500 annually. Cvent states that paid plans have a 12-month commitment. Plan limits and capabilities differ by tier.
PlanSeats Pro is built around a different pricing model.
$39.99/month
Includes one seat and unlimited events.
$290/year
Includes one seat and unlimited events.
$14.99/month per seat
or $130/year per seat
Compare the capabilities you actually need alongside the price.
If you need advanced diagramming, 3D visualization, or the wider Cvent ecosystem, those differences matter.
If your recurring workflow centers on floor plans, guests, seating, and client collaboration, compare how much software you actually need to manage it.
If you're considering moving from Social Tables or Cvent Event Diagramming, start with the parts of your workflow you need to preserve.
PlanSeats supports guest-list import and lets you bring the floor plan, tables, guests, and seating chart together inside the event.
Professional users can also turn frequently used venue setups into reusable venue templates in PlanSeats Pro.
There is no need to recreate your entire planning system before deciding whether the workflow fits.
