Feature-by-feature
| Feature | HoneyBook | 17hats |

| Wedding-specific features | None | None |
| Reporting | Good | Limited |
The verdict
HoneyBook wins on polish; 17hats wins on price. If wedding is your only business, skip both for a wedding-specific tool like Wedding Planner Central — same $19/mo as 17hats' entry tier with features neither generalist includes.
What both miss — and what to use instead
Consumer wedding apps optimize for the parts of planning that drive their revenue (registry, ads, paper). The actual hard parts — vendor tracking across 8–15 contracts, budget reality vs. quotes, a real timeline, and a guest list that doesn't break — sit in spreadsheets for most couples.
Wedding Planner Central is the workspace built for exactly that — and it pairs with whichever consumer app you pick above. Free to start.
