Duva vs GettingMarried

Duva is a web platform for wedding websites, guest lists, RSVPs, messaging, and planning. Its site builder supports pages for schedules, travel, galleries, registries, FAQs, and RSVP responses. Guests can respond through a personalized link or household name lookup without installing an app or creating a Duva account. Organizers can assign guests to separate ceremonies and track headcounts and responses for each event. The guest list accepts CSV imports and per-event assignments; Duva describes it as designed for 500+ guests. A free planner includes a categorized checklist, an estimate-versus-actual budget tracker, and a vendor tracker. Invitations and reminders can go by SMS to +1 numbers and WhatsApp to supported numbers outside +1. Replies sent directly to those messages do not record an RSVP; guests need to use the browser page. Duva also offers more than 25 animated save-the-date designs, with free and premium options. The free plan includes the website, RSVP, guest list, checklist, budget, and vendor tracker. One-time paid options include messaging unlock for $10 as a one-time purchase. Duva supports multiple events but does not offer custom domains.

GettingMarried is a web service that brings wedding websites, guest-list management, RSVP collection, gift lists, and planning tools together for couples in the UK. Couples can choose themes, fonts, colours, and layouts for a personalised site, which guests can access through a web address or a QR code on invitations. The Guest List stores guest details, assigns guests to events, and collects RSVP and menu choices. Email Stationery covers Save-the-Dates, invitations, thank-you notes, and guest messages. GiftFund can send contributions to PayPal, Monzo, Revolut, or bank transfer accounts without a fee; external gift lists can also be linked. Menu Manager records dietary requirements and allergies for caterers, while Table Planner handles seating assignments and downloads for venues. The Free plan supports up to 75 guests. Essentials is £45, paid once and supports up to 120 guests; Plus is £89, paid once and allows unlimited guests. Free and Essentials use Simple RSVP, which requires manual status updates; Automated RSVP requires GM+ membership. Accounts stay open for three months after the registered wedding date.
