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.
