A small wedding planner who runs fifteen weddings a year pays for software in three different ways at once, and the monthly subscription is only the first of them. There is the subscription itself, the per project or per event charge that rises with every booking, and the client seat or team member cost that rises with every hire. Wedding planning software pricing for small planners only makes sense as a yearly total, because a tool that looks cheap at 29 dollars a month can cost more than a tool at 70 dollars a month once the project count and the team size are counted.
The gap between the cheapest and the dearest options is wide, and the pricing models are the most varied in this whole batch. A solo planner can pay 29 dollars a month for a client management tool, 49.99 dollars a month for a wedding specific tool, or 199 dollars a month for a venue platform, while one tool charges by the number of projects and another charges by the number of team members. What matters is the total cost for your wedding count and your team size, not the headline on the pricing page.
This guide breaks down wedding planning software pricing across eight tools in 2026, with prices checked against vendor pages and current roundups in November 2026. Per event against monthly fees, per project tiers, client seat costs and the real yearly bill for a planner running fifteen weddings a year are all covered, so you can see what a small planner actually pays before you enter card details.
How Wedding Planning Software Charges You
Wedding software charges in three different ways, and the model decides the bill more than any feature. Per project pricing, used by Aisle Planner, charges by the number of active projects, so a planner with fifteen weddings pays 69.99 dollars a month while a planner with thirty weddings pays 164.99 dollars a month. Per user pricing, used by HoneyBook, charges by team size, so a solo planner pays 29 dollars a month while a team pays 109 dollars a month. Per event pricing, used by Tableplan, charges 49 dollars per event for a couple or 99 dollars a month for a planner.
Client seats are the second line of the bill, and they decide whether a growing team can afford the tool. HoneyBook Essentials allows up to two team members, while Premium allows unlimited team members for 109 dollars a month. Aisle Planner allows unlimited users on every plan, which makes it cheaper than HoneyBook once the team passes two people, even though the headline is higher. Dubsado allows three extra users free on every plan, which suits a small team that needs a few seats without paying per user.
Add ons and hidden costs are the third line, and they are where the cheap plans get expensive. Planning Pod does not publish prices, so the real cost only comes from a demo, with most single location venues paying 199 to 319 dollars a month. Social Tables charges 49 dollars a month on a 12 month commitment for its planner plans, and Prismm charges from 49 dollars a month after a free tier for three events. Ask for the price in writing, with the project count and the team size it covers, before you sign.

The 8 Tools, Priced in Full
The eight tools below are ordered by value for a small planner, starting with the cheapest honest price and ending with the venue platform that suits a larger team.
1. HoneyBook
HoneyBook is the cheapest polished price in this list, and it is the best value for a solo planner who needs proposals, contracts and payments in one client flow. For 29 dollars a month billed annually it covers inquiry to booking to payment, with a clean client portal that couples actually use. The trade off is wedding depth, because there are no seating charts, no floor plans and no timeline builder, so a planner who needs those must pair HoneyBook with a second tool or buy Aisle Planner instead.
Pricing starts at 29 dollars a month billed annually. Starter costs 29 dollars a month billed annually. Essentials costs 49 dollars a month billed annually and adds a scheduler, automations, QuickBooks Online and up to two team members. Premium costs 109 dollars a month billed annually with unlimited team members. Monthly billing costs more, at 36 dollars a month for Starter, 59 dollars for Essentials and 129 dollars for Premium, so annual billing saves about 20 percent.
Pick HoneyBook when you are a solo planner who needs proposals, contracts and payments in one polished flow. Skip it when you need seating charts, floor plans or timeline builders, because HoneyBook has none.
2. Aisle Planner
Aisle Planner is the wedding specific price, and its per project model rewards a planner with a predictable book. A planner with fifteen weddings pays 69.99 dollars a month, a planner with twenty five pays 109.99 dollars, and a planner with fifty pays 164.99 dollars, with unlimited users on every plan. It covers timelines, layouts, seating, guest management, vendor management, design boards and event websites, which is the full wedding toolkit. The trade off is the project climb, because every new booking can push the planner into the next tier.
Pricing starts at 49.99 dollars a month. Sales Essentials costs 49.99 dollars a month. Planning plans cost 69.99 dollars a month for up to fifteen projects, 109.99 dollars for sixteen to twenty five, 164.99 dollars for twenty six to fifty, and 229.99 dollars for fifty one to one hundred. Every plan has unlimited users. Yearly billing saves 10 percent, and a free 30 day trial is available on every plan.
Aisle Planner fits best when you run weddings and need timelines, seating and layouts with unlimited users. It fits worst when your project count grows fast, because every booking can push you into the next tier.
3. Dubsado
Dubsado is the annual price pick for a planner who wants client management without a monthly bill. At 335 dollars a year for Starter, or about 28 dollars a month, it covers proposals, contracts, payments, forms, workflows and a client portal, with three extra users free. The trade off is wedding depth, because there is no dedicated floor planning and the setup interface feels complex, but for a planner who wants a general client tool at a low annual price, it is the best value after HoneyBook.
Pricing starts at 335 dollars a year. Starter costs 335 dollars a year, and Premier costs 525 dollars a year. Three extra users are free on every plan. Monthly billing costs 35 dollars a month for Starter and 40 dollars a month for Premier, so annual billing saves about 20 percent.
Pick Dubsado when you want a low annual price with three extra users free. Skip it when you need dedicated floor planning, because Dubsado has none.
4. Planning Pod
Planning Pod is the most complete toolkit in this list, and its pricing reflects a platform built for venues as well as planners. It covers timelines, budgets, vendor management, client portals, seating charts, floor plans, RSVPs and event websites, with more than forty tools in one system. The trade off is price transparency, because nothing is published and the reported 199 to 319 dollar a month range makes it the dearest option here, so a small planner should get a quote in writing before comparing it with the 29 dollar tools.
Pricing starts at 199 to 319 dollars a month. Planning Pod does not publish prices on its pricing page. Its own FAQ says most single location venues pay 199 to 319 dollars a month, based on how many events they manage at a time. It covers more than forty tools, including timelines, budgets, vendor management, client portals, seating charts, floor plans, RSVPs and event websites, which is the most complete toolkit in this list.
Planning Pod fits best when you run a venue or a large planning business and need the most complete toolkit. It fits worst when you are a small planner, because the reported price is 199 to 319 dollars a month.
5. Tableplan
Tableplan is the per event price for a planner who only needs floor plans and seating. At 49 dollars per event for a couple, or 99 dollars a month for a planner, it covers round, square, banquet and sweetheart tables, a dance floor, stage and bar, and auto seat, which is the seating job done properly. The trade off is scope, because it only does floor plans and seating, so a planner who needs the full business still needs HoneyBook or Dubsado alongside it, and the combined bill is higher than Aisle Planner alone.
Pricing starts at 49 dollars per event. Tableplan costs 49 dollars per event for a couple, or 99 dollars a month for planners, with seating and tables, auto seat and a dance floor, stage and bar planner. It is a floor plan and seating tool only, so a planner who needs contracts and payments must pair it with HoneyBook or Dubsado.
Pick Tableplan when you only need floor plans and seating done properly. Skip it when you need contracts and payments too, because Tableplan does not do them.
6. Prismm
Prismm is the free entry point for floor plans and seating, because the free tier covers three events at no cost. It offers floor plans, wedding seating charts and guest lists, with venues and planners buying the tool and couples joining as collaborators. The trade off is scope, because it only does floor plans and seating, and the paid plans start at 49 dollars a month, which is the same as Tableplan per event pricing for a busy planner. For a planner who only needs a few seatings a year, the free tier is enough.
Pricing starts at free, paid plans from 49 dollars a month. Prismm is free for three events, with paid plans from 49 dollars a month for more events and more features. It is a floor plan and seating tool for venues and planners, with couples joining as collaborators rather than buying the tool themselves.
Prismm fits best when you only need a few floor plans a year and want a free tier. It fits worst when you need the full planning business, because Prismm only does floor plans.
7. Social Tables
Social Tables is the venue team option for a planner who works with venues on Cvent. It offers visual seating charts with meal management, guest lists and floor plans, with a free tier for basic use and paid planner plans from 49 dollars a month on a 12 month commitment. The trade off is the commitment, because the paid plans need a year, and the tool is built for venue teams rather than solo planners, so a small planner who needs the full business should look at Aisle Planner instead.
Pricing starts at free, paid plans from 49 dollars a month. Social Tables is free for basic use, with paid planner plans from 49 dollars a month on a 12 month commitment. It is a venue team tool on Cvent, with visual seating charts, meal management and guest lists, which suits a planner who works with venues on Cvent.
Pick Social Tables when you work with venues on Cvent and need visual seating with meal management. Skip it when you are a solo planner, because the paid plans need a 12 month commitment.
8. Curate
Curate is the event professional option for a wedding planner who also handles catering or florals. It covers proposals, recipe costing, rentals and event management in one record, so a planner who sells food and flowers as well as planning can track the whole job in one system. The trade off is price transparency, because the reported range of 25 to 275 dollars a month is wide and the real price only comes from a sales call, so budget for the upper end until you have a quote in writing.
Pricing starts at quote only. Curate offers Basic, Growth and Partnership tiers and does not publish prices. Reseller listings report a range of about 25 to 275 dollars a month. It covers proposals, recipe costing and rentals in one system, which suits a wedding caterer or florist who also plans events.
Curate fits best when you plan events and handle catering or florals in the same job. It fits worst when you need a published price, because Curate does not list one.
Best Value by Planner Size
Planner size decides the answer, because a solo planner and a team buy different software. Use the table below as the short version of this guide.
| Job | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Solo planner, few weddings | HoneyBook Starter | 29 dollars a month billed annually |
| Solo planner, wedding specific | Aisle Planner | 69.99 dollars a month for up to 15 projects |
| Small team, low annual price | Dubsado | 335 dollars a year, three extra users free |
| Floor plans only | Prismm | Free for three events, from 49 dollars a month |
| Venue or large business | Planning Pod | 199 to 319 dollars a month, most complete toolkit |
What a Planner Running 15 Weddings a Year Actually Pays
The yearly bill is the number that matters, because the per project model multiplies with every booking. The table below shows the yearly subscription for a solo planner running fifteen weddings a year, before add ons. HoneyBook Starter costs 348 dollars a year, Dubsado costs 335 dollars a year, Aisle Planner costs 839.88 dollars a year for fifteen projects, Tableplan costs 1,188 dollars a year, and Planning Pod costs about 2,388 to 3,828 dollars a year. The gap between the cheapest and the dearest is more than ten times, which is why the wedding count matters more than the headline.
| Tool | Monthly | Yearly | What is extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dubsado Starter | 27.92 dollars | 335 dollars | Annual billing |
| HoneyBook Starter | 29 dollars | 348 dollars | Billed annually |
| Aisle Planner, 15 projects | 69.99 dollars | 839.88 dollars | Unlimited users |
| Tableplan, planner | 99 dollars | 1,188 dollars | Seating only |
| Planning Pod, reported | 199 to 319 dollars | 2,388 to 3,828 dollars | Quote only |
The lesson is to compare the yearly total at your real wedding count, not the monthly headline. A per project tool that costs 69.99 dollars a month for fifteen weddings costs 164.99 dollars a month for fifty, while a per user tool costs the same no matter how many weddings the planner runs. Work out the twelve month cost for your wedding count and your team size, and the cheapest tool usually reveals itself in one line of maths. That comparison is the heart of wedding planning software pricing for small planners.
What Annual Billing Really Saves
Take a solo planner on HoneyBook Starter. Annual billing costs 29 dollars a month, or 348 dollars a year, while monthly billing costs 36 dollars a month, or 432 dollars a year, which is 84 dollars a year more for the same plan. Dubsado Starter costs 335 dollars a year against 35 dollars a month billed monthly, or 420 dollars a year, which is 85 dollars a year more. Aisle Planner yearly billing saves 10 percent, which is 84 dollars a year on the 69.99 dollar plan. The saving is real money, and it repeats every year the planner stays on annual billing.
The catch is cash flow, because annual billing means paying the whole year up front. A planner who books fifteen weddings a year can usually afford the annual payment from one deposit, while a planner just starting out may need the monthly option until the book fills. The rule is simple, pay yearly when the cash flow allows it, because the saving is about 20 percent on every tool here, and that is the easiest money in this whole guide to save.
The third saving is the pair. A planner who buys HoneyBook for 29 dollars a month and Tableplan for 99 dollars a month pays 128 dollars a month for the two together, while Aisle Planner alone costs 69.99 dollars a month for the full toolkit. Price the pair before you buy either tool alone, because the single tool that covers the whole job is usually cheaper than two tools that cover half the job each.
Hidden Costs to Watch in Wedding Software Pricing
The most common hidden cost is the project tier climb. Aisle Planner charges 69.99 dollars a month for up to fifteen projects and 164.99 dollars a month for twenty six to fifty, so a planner who books ten more weddings pays 95 dollars a month more for the same software. Count your weddings for the year before you buy, and price the tier you will be in by December, not the tier you are in today.
The second hidden cost is the monthly billing premium. HoneyBook Starter costs 29 dollars a month billed annually and 36 dollars a month billed monthly, which is 84 dollars a year more for the same plan. Dubsado Starter costs 335 dollars a year and 35 dollars a month billed monthly, which is 85 dollars a year more. Annual billing saves about 20 percent on every tool here, so pay yearly if the cash flow allows it.
The third hidden cost is the second tool. HoneyBook has no seating charts or floor plans, Tableplan has no contracts or payments, and Prismm has no client management, so a planner who needs the full job must buy two tools. Aisle Planner covers the full wedding toolkit for 69.99 dollars a month, which is cheaper than HoneyBook plus Tableplan at 128 dollars a month. Price the pair before you buy either tool alone.
Our Verdict
HoneyBook is the pick for most small wedding planners on price, because Starter costs 29 dollars a month billed annually for proposals, contracts and payments in one polished client flow. It is the tool most likely to turn an inquiry into a booked wedding without the planner chasing paperwork. That is why it leads this guide on wedding planning software pricing for small planners.
Aisle Planner is the pick when the planner needs the full wedding toolkit, because 69.99 dollars a month for up to fifteen projects buys timelines, seating, layouts and unlimited users. Dubsado is the pick when the planner wants the lowest annual price, at 335 dollars a year. Count your weddings for the year, price the tier you will be in by December, and only pay for the plan whose features you use every week.
The wedding count is the deciding factor, so count your weddings for the year before you choose, price the tier you will be in by December rather than the tier you are in today, and pay yearly when the cash flow allows it, because the saving is about 20 percent on every tool here.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does wedding planning software cost per month?
A solo planner can pay 29 dollars a month for HoneyBook Starter billed annually, 49.99 dollars a month for Aisle Planner Sales Essentials, or 69.99 dollars a month for Aisle Planner with up to fifteen projects. Dubsado costs 335 dollars a year, or about 28 dollars a month. Planning Pod is reported at 199 to 319 dollars a month. The real monthly bill is higher once the project tier and the team size are counted. That is the short answer on wedding planning software pricing for small planners for most readers.
Is HoneyBook or Aisle Planner cheaper for a small planner?
HoneyBook is cheaper for a solo planner who needs client management, at 29 dollars a month billed annually against 69.99 dollars a month for Aisle Planner with fifteen projects. Aisle Planner is cheaper for a planner who needs the full wedding toolkit, because HoneyBook plus Tableplan costs 128 dollars a month while Aisle Planner alone costs 69.99 dollars a month. The answer depends on whether the planner needs seating charts and floor plans or only proposals, contracts and payments.
Does wedding planning software charge per wedding or per month?
Both, and the difference matters. Aisle Planner charges per project, so a planner with fifteen weddings pays 69.99 dollars a month and a planner with fifty pays 164.99 dollars a month. HoneyBook charges per user, so a solo planner pays 29 dollars a month no matter how many weddings they run. Tableplan charges 49 dollars per event for a couple or 99 dollars a month for a planner. Count your weddings before you compare the headlines.
What is the cheapest wedding planning software?
Prismm is free for three events, and Dubsado Starter at 335 dollars a year is the cheapest paid annual price. HoneyBook Starter at 29 dollars a month billed annually is the cheapest polished monthly price. The cheapest plan is not always the best value, because Prismm only does floor plans and Dubsado has no floor planning, so a planner who needs the full toolkit will pay more for Aisle Planner at 69.99 dollars a month and get more for it.
Do I need to pay extra for seating charts and floor plans?
It depends on the tool. Aisle Planner and Planning Pod include seating charts and floor plans in their planning plans, while HoneyBook and Dubsado have none. Tableplan costs 49 dollars per event or 99 dollars a month for seating alone, Prismm is free for three events, and Social Tables costs from 49 dollars a month on a 12 month commitment. A planner who needs seating should price the tool that includes it rather than buying a second tool for it.
Is annual billing cheaper than monthly billing?
Yes, annual billing saves about 20 percent on every tool here. HoneyBook Starter costs 29 dollars a month billed annually and 36 dollars a month billed monthly, which is 84 dollars a year more. Dubsado Starter costs 335 dollars a year and 35 dollars a month billed monthly, which is 85 dollars a year more. Aisle Planner yearly billing saves 10 percent. Pay yearly if the cash flow allows it, because the saving is real money.
Can I switch wedding planning software later without losing my events?
Yes, but the move takes planning. Export client records, event timelines, seating charts, vendor lists and payment history from the old tool, then test the import with a small batch of events before moving the rest. Seating charts and floor plans are the hardest part to move, because every table and seat needs its place mapped to the new system. Keep the old system running for a month in parallel, and check that timelines and seating carried across before you cancel.
Count your weddings for the year, price the tier you will be in by December, and only pay for the plan whose features you use every week.
That is the short answer on wedding planning software pricing for small planners for most small businesses.
If you only remember one thing about wedding planning software pricing for small planners, make it the total yearly cost, not the monthly sticker price.
