What PerfectTablePlan offers
PerfectTablePlan’s home page describes Windows 11/10 and Mac software that manages guest details, RSVPs, meal choices and preferences; lets you experiment with table shapes and sizes; assigns seats “automatically or by drag and drop”; and prints floor plans, seating charts, place and escort cards and other stationery. It says it suits “any number of events from a small wedding reception to a 4000+ seat banquet”, works offline, installs on up to five PCs or Macs, and costs “from just $29.95 + tax per user (one-time payment)”, with a free trial and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Start planning freeAbout SeatFinch
SeatFinch is a seating chart maker built around one idea: you write the rules, it does the first draft. You import a guest list (CSV with name, household, meal and tags), add round or rectangular tables and venue objects (dance floor, bar, stage, DJ, cake), and write rules — “must sit together”, “must not sit together” and “keep households together”. Auto-seat then fills every table while keeping every rule, and tells you which rules conflict if they can’t all be kept. You fine-tune by dragging guests; manual moves respect table capacity, and rules are re-checked whenever you run Auto-seat.
Creating an event with unlimited guests, tables and rules, the floor plan and auto-seating are free for one saved chart, with a watermarked PNG export. A one-time unlock of $19 per event (launch price $14 until Feb 3, 2027) removes the watermark and adds the exports: a seating chart PDF (US Letter) or PNG in three print styles, an escort list (PDF and CSV), a floor plan image and a by-table CSV with meals. SeatFinch does not collect RSVPs, build wedding websites or sell stationery.
Which to choose
PerfectTablePlan may suit you better if you want desktop software that works offline, plan many events or very large banquets, want to print place cards and other stationery from the same program, or prefer a one-time licence covering any number of events.
SeatFinch may suit you better if you’d rather not install software, want to start for free and pay only for a large event, or want rules written in plain language (“must sit together”, “must not sit together”, “keep households together”) with conflicts explained.
