Free plan for your first event, no credit card.
Wedding Mapper provides basic seating chart functionality that works for simple events. PlanSeats offers the same simplicity for getting started, but adds the professional features that serious planners need when managing complex events.
The differences become apparent with dietary requirements and meal tracking. Wedding Mapper handles these through manual notes: you're essentially writing reminders to yourself. PlanSeats has structured data fields for allergies, dietary restrictions, and meal selections that can be filtered, exported, and shared with caterers in proper formats.
Guest list importing in PlanSeats handles any CSV format with smart column mapping, while Wedding Mapper's import is more limited. For planners juggling multiple events or working with different couples' guest list formats, this flexibility matters.
PDF exports show the difference in professional polish. PlanSeats generates clean, formatted documents that venues and caterers appreciate. Wedding Mapper's exports are more basic and may require additional formatting for professional use.
