The verdict
Both are generalist CRMs. If wedding is your only business, neither is purpose-built — consider Wedding Planner Central instead, which includes guest list, seating chart, and the couple-facing portal both of these lack.
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.
