WeddingWire (part of The Knot) bundles a seating chart with their wedding suite. PlanSeats is a purpose-built seating chart tool with more features and no platform lock-in.
No credit card · Works with any wedding platform
WeddingWire (owned by the same parent company as The Knot) includes a seating chart as part of their wedding planning tools. Like The Knot, it's a bundled feature rather than a dedicated application, which means the seating functionality is competent but not comprehensive.
The key advantage of PlanSeats is flexibility. WeddingWire ties you to their ecosystem: their RSVP system, vendor directory, and wedding website. PlanSeats works independently, so you can use WeddingWire for vendor discovery while using PlanSeats for a more powerful seating experience. Export your WeddingWire guest list as CSV and import directly into PlanSeats.
PlanSeats Pro offers capabilities WeddingWire lacks: intelligent auto-assign based on guest groups and relationships, real-time collaboration so multiple planners can work simultaneously, and support for corporate events, galas, and non-wedding gatherings.
For sharing with vendors, PlanSeats generates universal links that work without any account signup. WeddingWire's sharing is more limited and works best when everyone is using their platform.
