# Wedding Planner vs Wedding Assistant

The clearest difference is rating: Wedding Assistant at 5.0 against Wedding Planner's 4.1. Wedding Assistant also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Wedding Planner's advantage is ratings volume (58 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wedding Planner sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Wedding Assistant sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wedding Assistant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wedding Planner has 58 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Wedding Planner's written reviews are positive against 100% of Wedding Assistant's.

Wedding Planner ships an update every 5 days, Wedding Assistant every 4 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
