Event Floor Planner vs SeatPlan.io

Event Floor Planner is an online tool for making event floor plans and seating charts. Its editor lets users place layout elements by drag and drop, then rotate or resize them. Users can create guest lists, assign people to tables, and export plans as PDF documents. The service is presented for weddings, quinceañeras, corporate events, and other special occasions. It runs on web, Android, and iOS and is described as mobile-friendly, though the designer recommends a desktop or laptop for precise placement and editing. Layouts can be saved to the cloud with an email address without creating an account, and unique links can be used to share them. Anyone with a shared link can view the layout, including guest names and email addresses it contains. Layouts kept in browser storage may be lost if browser data is cleared or the user changes browser or device. The Free plan costs nothing and includes PDF export; no signup is required. Professional templates are described as coming soon.

SeatPlan.io is a web-based seating chart maker for weddings, classrooms, events, and other gatherings. Its designer supports drag-and-drop layouts with round or rectangular tables, and users can import guest lists from CSV. Event Manager expands the workflow with floor-plan imports from photos, screenshots, PDFs, and CAD DXF files; DXF blueprints are brought in at exact scale. It also provides client links with view-only, editing, or check-in permissions and real-time updates. Door staff can check guests in from a phone link without an account. QR seat finding and Apple and Google Wallet passes are available on eligible plans. Event Temple integration imports booking guests and refreshes the roster when an event is reopened, but seating assignments do not sync back. Free costs nothing, Pro costs £8 one-time, Collaborate £14 one-time, Classroom £29 per school year when billed annually, and Event Manager £35 per month when billed annually. Event Manager has no stated guest or table limit, but imported guest-list files are capped at 5MB.
