WedSites vs SeatPuzzle
These two tools take different approaches to wedding seating. SeatPuzzle is a dedicated seating chart and floor plan app for Apple devices, while WedSites is a complete wedding platform that includes seating charts as part of its planning tools.
SeatPuzzle is a seating chart and floor plan maker available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It offers drag-and-drop guest placement with circular, square, and rectangular tables that can be resized to custom dimensions. Its item library includes dance floors, DJ booths, aisles, pews, arches, and decorative elements. SeatPuzzle also handles basic guest list management with RSVP tracking, meal assignments, VIP tagging, accessibility flags, and +1 linking. Shared floor plans allow collaboration, and iCloud sync keeps data consistent across Apple devices. The app works fully offline. SeatPuzzle is free with basic features, with a subscription available on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis for full access.
WedSites provides a complete wedding platform: website builder, household RSVPs, comprehensive guest list with groups, digital stationery, and seating chart (Pro plan) that integrates directly with your guest list. The seating chart uses the groups you've already created in your guest list, color-coding guests by group for easy table arrangements.

Who Should Choose SeatPuzzle
SeatPuzzle may be the better choice if you:
- Want a dedicated seating tool with deep floor plan features -- SeatPuzzle's extensive item library and customizable table dimensions go beyond basic seating arrangement
- Use Apple devices -- The app works natively on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud sync and full offline support
- Need to work offline -- SeatPuzzle works without an internet connection, which is useful for venue walkthroughs
- Want a lower entry cost -- The free tier covers basic seating, and subscription pricing is modest for a focused tool
Who Should Choose WedSites
WedSites may be the better choice if you:
- Want all planning tools in one place -- Website, RSVPs, guest management, stationery, and seating chart connected together
- Need a wedding website -- Full website builder included with all plans
- Prefer web-based access -- Works on any device with a browser, not limited to Apple
- Want guest data to flow into seating -- Your RSVP responses and guest groups feed directly into the seating chart
WedSites Limitations to Consider
- Seating chart is only available on the Pro plan ($199), not on Standard or free tiers
- WedSites uses a list-based seating chart without visual table shapes or floor plan items -- SeatPuzzle offers a much more visual approach
- Web-based only, so there is no offline access for venue walkthroughs
- No native mobile app
