Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Planbook Mobile at 4.8 against Easy Seating Arrangement's 2.5. Planbook Mobile also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7.7K vs 2). Easy Seating Arrangement's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planbook Mobile sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Easy Seating Arrangement sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Planbook Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planbook Mobile has 7.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Planbook Mobile's written reviews are positive against 67% of Easy Seating Arrangement's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Planbook Mobile ships an update every 2 months, Easy Seating Arrangement every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
