Guesticon vs Vowesta

Guesticon combines a wedding website, RSVP management, QR-code photo sharing, table planning and a digital guestbook. It offers 14+ customizable themes, and guests can RSVP with meal preferences and plus-ones managed from a dashboard. For photos, guests scan a QR code on a smartphone and upload without installing an app or creating an account. The table planner supports drag-and-drop seating, RSVP-list import and printable table-plan exports. Guests can leave messages and well wishes in the digital guestbook. The website works on mobile, tablet and desktop. Guesticon says couples can create an account, customize a site and share it in under 10 minutes without coding. Free accounts receive a personalized guesticon.com subdomain; custom domains are available on paid plans. The Free plan costs nothing and includes RSVP management, basic photo sharing, the guestbook and all themes. One-time paid plans start at $29, paid once.

Vowesta is a wedding planning platform for building a wedding website and coordinating guests, invitations, seating, and registry contributions. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, and includes an AI planner that uses wedding details to create timelines, suggest vendors, flag budget risks, and propose seating arrangements. Couples can manage unlimited guests, households, plus-ones, RSVPs, meal choices, and seating charts. Email invitations and QR-code save-the-dates are available.

The universal registry supports items from any store and cash funds, with card contributions handled through Stripe. Vowesta charges 2.5% on cash gifts, registry contributions, and raffle tickets; card processing is also deducted before payout. The free plan includes the planning tools, unlimited guests and RSVPs, custom domain connection, and a Kept camera for the first five guests. Optional extras cost separately: expanding the camera is a one-time charge whose price depends on guest count, and a new domain through Vowesta costs $19.99 a year.
