# Pro Party Planner vs Seated

The clearest difference is rating: Pro Party Planner at 5.0 against Seated's 3.9. Seated's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (62% vs 47%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pro Party Planner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Seated sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pro Party Planner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Pro Party Planner's written reviews are positive against 62% of Seated's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
