Duva vs Planning.Wedding

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.

Planning.Wedding is an online wedding planning platform for couples, families, and professional planners. Its tools include guest lists, RSVPs, a website, checklist, budget calculator, itinerary, timeline, vendor directory, seating charts, stationery, notes, and a guest photo album. Partners, family, and friends can work on a project in real time without accounts, with project updates stored in the cloud and synced. The website builder offers customizable templates, drag-and-drop sections, RSVP forms, password protection, and widgets for event details, travel, accommodation, FAQs, and registries. Couples can use a free custom URL and QR code in one of three domain formats, or connect a custom domain. RSVP responses connect to the guest list for managing attendance, plus-ones, VIP events, and reminders. Android and iOS apps share projects across devices. Basic is free; Premium costs $29, paid once, billed per project. The terms say active projects and their content are removed one year after the last update, and archived projects after five years.
