In their own words
Folio
Folio is a web-based wedding planning app for couples organizing an event with a partner. Its planning tools cover guest management, budgeting and payment tracking, tasks, a wedding-day timeline, seating arrangements, a wedding website, and a gift registry. Guests receive personal RSVP links and can respond without creating an account or downloading an app. Vendor records can follow each supplier from inquiry through final payment, with contacts, notes, status, and linked expenses. CSV imports support lists prepared in Excel or Google Sheets; dietary reports export as CSV, while browser timelines can be printed or saved as PDF. Folio says it shows no ads, does not sell data, and stores information on Hetzner Cloud servers in Germany. Couples retain access until three months after the wedding, then can export their data. The product is still in development. The Couples plan costs 79.00 EUR once, including VAT; a view-only Demo is free.
Zennvue
Zennvue is a web-based service connecting wedding and event vendors’ business workflows with couples’ planning. Vendors can manage marketplace profiles, leads, proposals, e-signed contracts, invoices, payments, bookings, calendars, and galleries. Couples get planning tools for vendor discovery, budgets, timelines, guest lists, RSVPs, seating, and payment tracking. Its AI supports vendor matching, drafting, contract review, lead scoring, and planning assistance; users approve actions and messages. Stripe Connect handles deposits, balances, vendor payouts, and payment records, with standard Stripe processing passed through. Paid vendor plans have a 0% Zennvue fee on vendor payments; Marketplace Free takes 15% only on bookings Zennvue produces. The free couples plan includes a 30-day trial? No: paid vendor plans include a 30-day trial, require a card at signup, and convert to the chosen plan unless canceled before the signup deadline. Vendor plans start at $49/mo. Vendor profiles are reviewed before going live, and reviews are limited to couples with confirmed bookings. Zennvue says it is not an escrow service or insurer.
