Where they differ
Suppliers
Easy Weddings lists over 5,000 suppliers, who receive couples' enquiries as leads. WedBuild lists none and passes no enquiries on.
Planning
Both have a website, RSVPs, seating and a budget. WedBuild runs them from one guest list and adds a QR seat finder on Pro.
What each doesn’t do
WedBuild
- Not a gift registry: keep your registry elsewhere and link to it.
- Not a vendor marketplace: it compares vendors you've found, it doesn't list them.
- The free plan stops at 50 guests; the seating chart and budget need Standard or Pro after the 7-day trial.
- Paid plans cover 2 years, then an optional monthly extension.
- Texts to guests reach Australian mobile numbers only, for now.
Easy Weddings
- Your enquiries go to suppliers who pay for leads.
- Tools sit beside a supplier directory.
Which suits whom
Choose WedBuild if
- You want planning tools with no supplier leads.
- You want RSVPs, dietaries and seating on one list.
Choose Easy Weddings if
- You're still choosing suppliers and want a directory beside free tools.
