Placecard makes planning who-sits-where the easy, even enjoyable, part of your event. Whether it's a wedding, a big birthday, a gala or a family dinner, Placecard lets you build your guest list, design your tables exactly as the room will look, and drag each guest into their seat - all on a calm, beautiful canvas. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Guest list done properly - track RSVPs, group guests (bride's side, work friends, family…), and add plus-ones and dietary notes. • Design your real room - round and rectangular tables, any number of seats, arranged just like the venue. • Drag-and-drop seating - tap or drag a guest into a seat; plus-ones sit together automatically, and you can swap a pair in one tap. • Keeps the peace - set "must sit together" and "keep apart" rules, and Placecard flags any seating that breaks them. • Try different plans - save multiple layouts (Plan A, Plan B…) and compare them side by side. • Share it beautifully - export a seating chart or printable place card

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Placecard at none against Wedding Seating Chart Maker's shown. Placecard also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). Wedding Seating Chart Maker's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
