How we stack up.
Honestly.

AllSeated rebranded to Prismm (now part of Cvent) and got more complex/expensive. If you just need a wedding seating chart, not enterprise event software, here's a lighter, one-time-€49 alternative.

Excel, Sheets and Canva templates are free — until the third redraw. tableplanner auto-seats your list, flags bad pairings, and absorbs RSVP changes in seconds.

Joy is a great free wedding website — but its own guest-list guide suggests Post-its for seating. Here's why couples pair Joy with tableplanner for the actual seating chart.

PerfectTablePlan is a capable, low-cost desktop app for Windows/Mac. tableplanner runs in any browser, on any device, with real-time collaboration and a QR seat finder built in.

SeatCanvas is a cheap, well-built seating canvas at $9.99. tableplanner adds conflict detection, personality-based auto-seating, and a QR seat finder — for a one-time €49.

The Knot has no seating chart tool today. Keep its free guest list; build the chart in tableplanner — conflict detection, auto-seating, live collaboration.

TopTablePlanner has been around since the 2000s and still works well for basic drag-and-drop seating. Here's how it compares to tableplanner on conflict detection, auto-seating, and pricing.

Wedding.studio's seating tool is 100% free with venue templates and a day-of seat search. tableplanner adds conflict detection, personality-based auto-seating, and instant QR seat lookup — for a one-time €49.

WeddingWire's free seating chart is a manual drag-and-drop canvas. tableplanner adds what it lacks: conflict detection, one-click auto-seating, and real-time collaboration.

Zola's built-in seating chart is free and pulls from your guest list — but it's iOS-app only, with no conflict detection or auto-seating. Here's the full picture, plus an alternative.
