Frequently asked
SeatPlan.io vs Please Find Your Seat: common questions
- Is SeatPlan.io a planning tool or a guest-facing display tool?
- Both. SeatPlan.io now includes a built-in guest QR seat finder: design your floor plan, assign guests, then generate a QR sign so guests scan and find their own table. Please Find Your Seat does only the QR display side - you still need a separate tool to make the assignments.
- Are there guest count limits like Please Find Your Seat's free tier?
- No guest cap on any paid SeatPlan.io tier. The free tier lets you design without saving; £8/$8/€8 one-time unlocks unlimited guests with save and export for 90 days. The guest QR seat finder is included on Collaborate and Event Manager plans with no per-event fees.
- Can I use SeatPlan.io for non-wedding events?
- Yes. SeatPlan.io works for corporate dinners, galas, conferences, and family celebrations as well as weddings — neutral, professional UI without wedding-only branding.
- Does SeatPlan.io export PDFs my venue can actually use?
- Yes. Exports include A3 PDFs of the floor plan, an Excel seat list for caterers, printable place cards, and a printable QR sign for the guest seat finder.
- Can guests get their seat before the event, not just at the door?
- Yes. On Collaborate and Event Manager plans, SeatPlan.io emails every guest a private link to their table plus an Apple Wallet or Google Wallet pass — and the pass updates itself on the guest's phone if you reseat anyone. Please Find Your Seat only shows assignments when guests scan the QR at the venue.
- Does SeatPlan.io have AI floor-plan import that Please Find Your Seat doesn't?
- Yes — on every plan. SeatPlan.io turns a photo or PDF of your venue into an editable, to-scale seating template automatically — tables, seat counts, and areas detected for you, then refined in the designer. Please Find Your Seat has no AI import. The free designer includes one AI import to try; paid plans include 3 a month with cheap top-ups, and Event Manager adds free exact-scale CAD/DXF imports.
