Which wedding planning platform should you use?
The Knot and Zola both give couples free planning tools, and The Knot and WeddingWire are the same company. Choosing between them is not really about price — it is about where you are marrying and what language your guests read.
This page is the short version, with a link to a full breakdown of each. Every claim about another platform links to that platform's own page, with the date we checked it.
Four wedding platforms at a glance
| WhiteClover | The Knot | Zola | WeddingWire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Website, RSVP and guest list | Free, no guest cap | Free | Free | Not checked — weddingwire.com blocks automated requests |
| Seating chart | Free — web, Android and iOS | Not documented on their public product pages | iOS app only; premium unlock to seat unlimited guests | Not checked — see above |
| Greek-language interface | Yes — bilingual English and Greek throughout | No Greek brand in The Knot Worldwide's own brand list | No; Zola states it cannot support special characters | Same group as The Knot — no Greek brand |
| Vendors outside the US | Directory built around Greece and destination weddings | Country-specific brands for ES, FR, IT, MX, BR, PT and the UK — none for Greece | Zola states it does not list vendors outside the US | Same group as The Knot — no Greek brand |
| Guest photo and video feed | Built in, via QR code, no download | No first-party feed documented | Third-party sellers in its marketplace, from around $49 | Not checked — see above |
| Wedding registry | None — we do not run a retail registry | Yes, including its own registry store | Yes — the core of the product | Not checked — see above |
| How vendors are listed | Free listing; couples contact vendors directly | Paid subscription advertising (WeddingPro) | Free listing plus pay-to-connect credits | Paid subscription advertising (WeddingPro) |
Every cell above is either something we could open and read on the platform's own pages, or an explicit statement that we could not. weddingwire.com returns 403 to automated requests, so its column is marked unchecked rather than filled in from second-hand summaries — its tools are free as far as we know, and you should confirm on weddingwire.com. The Knot and WeddingWire are the same company (The Knot Worldwide, merged 2018), so treat those two columns as one vendor with two brands. Nobody in this group publishes vendor prices or contract lengths, so we make no claim about those. Checked 27 July 2026.
