Plans and billing

One person pays and the whole wedding is unlocked: a wedding takes its plan from the planner who owns it, so one subscription covers every wedding you run, and the couple never sees a payment screen.

The pricing page is reachable from the sidebar's plan badge. Signed in as a planner, it shows the two planner cards, Solo and Studio.

The plans#

Both carry every capability and unlimited weddings, and neither counts project slots. The only difference is how many colleagues the desk seats: Solo seats you and one teammate, Studio seats as many as you add. Every wedding you own is unlocked by the subscription, so there is no per-wedding purchase and no one-off wedding pass to buy.

What you bought is honored on the web and in the app alike.

What Solo carries#

Solo is the whole desk. Every wedding unlocked: the season board, guests, rooms, seating and the countdown. The business side: a little black book, a deals board, forms, proposals, and the numbered invoices a firm issues. Agreement templates, as many as you want, signed online. Connecting your own Stripe account, so a milestone can carry Request payment and an invoice a card button. Send the day texts, which put a vendor's live run sheet on their phone the morning of the wedding. And a team on the team desk, with one colleague seated beside you at no extra charge.

Studio seats the firm. The desk is the same; the difference is seats. A Studio planner adds as many colleagues as the practice needs, and they ride the subscription rather than costing a seat each. There is nothing a Studio planner can do that a Solo planner cannot, only more of it at once.

An invoice can be paid on a card when you have connected Stripe, which every planner plan includes; a payment link and the Request payment button follow from that. If you have not connected an account, the invoice carries your bank details and your own payment link. See Clients and getting paid.

The trials#

Every new account runs on Pro for 30 days, no card, and a planner account gets a 30-day planner trial on top. That trial is what lets a brand-new planner begin their first wedding before paying anything, and it is where "work it before paying" happens. Nothing has to be cancelled; the trial runs out on its own.

The planner trial is the Solo plan, so it carries the whole desk as well: a team with one colleague, card payments and the day texts included. What waits for a subscription is Studio's extra seats, never a capability. We write to you a week before the trial ends, the day before, and once it has, each with the date and a link to the pricing page; a week after it ends there is one last note, which you can switch off with product updates in your email preferences. If you subscribe first, none of them arrive. Subscribing to Studio during the trial ends the trial there and then, since Studio already covers everything in it.

A trial is one per email address. A second account on the same inbox, including one that only adds a +tag to the address, opens without it. If your trial has run out, the way back is a subscription rather than a new account.

Beginning a wedding at all takes a planner subscription or that trial. A couple cannot begin one on their own account, and a couple never buys anything: they reach a wedding by being invited into one a planner has already started, and they approve and decline what is sent to them. See The couple.

The free ceilings#

If the subscription lapses, the role stays and every wedding you own falls back to the free ceilings: six moments, eight vendors, twelve budget lines. Everything within them works. When you reach one, the app says which ceiling you hit rather than hiding the button.

Four modules are not free: guests, travel, the countdown and the table plan. The plan lives on the roster, and the roster is unlocked by the planner's subscription. If you asked for them they are still there, and what they show until the wedding is unlocked again is the way back, on the subscribe page, rather than an empty screen.

The money and the day stay free. Payment schedules, the due view, shifting the run sheet, laying out a starter and sending a vendor their sheet ride the budget and the run sheet, which every wedding has.

Lapsing never takes anything away. Everything typed on a wedding survives: every wedding, contract and ledger stays readable and exportable, nothing is retyped and nothing is hidden. What ends is writing new entries into the parts a subscription unlocks. Subscribe again and the ceilings lift on every wedding you run, not one at a time.

The trip a wedding owns is a separate case: none of this touches it. It carries its own Pro grant, set the day the wedding begins, so the couple and any guest you invited onto it keep the whole trip, flight status included, whatever happens to your own subscription afterward, including closing your account outright. Only the wedding falls back to the ceilings above. The trip underneath does not.

Where it is sold#

The planner subscription is sold where weddings are: the weddingcraftr.com pricing page, the in-app pricing page once you are signed in as a planner, and the WeddingCraftr app. On the web both tiers and both cadences are on offer. In the app, only the $19 monthly Solo plan is sold, through the App Store and Google Play at its store price, because a wedding shown in the app has to be payable in the app. Studio runs a team whose seats are invited and assigned on the web, so the phone's paywall leaves it out, and the annual prices stay on the web too. See The phone app.

An upgrade prompt only appears where it would work. A wedding is unlocked by its owner's plan, so a teammate or the couple looking at a locked module is not asked to pay for it.

Buying, and managing what you bought#

Checkout on the web is Stripe-hosted; card details never touch WeddingCraftr. Cancelling is one click from the pricing page: access runs to the end of the term, and the page then says when the plan ends rather than offering to cancel it again. Anyone with billing history can open the billing portal from the same page to change cards or switch cadence. Comped accounts see their comp record there instead of the cards.

A subscription is cancelled where it was bought. If Solo came from the App Store or Google Play, the web page says so and links to that store's own subscriptions page rather than offering a portal that cannot reach it. On the phone, the Plan screen opens a manage-subscription sheet where cancelling and restoring both live.

Inês bought Studio on the web in January, annual, and runs three weddings and two colleagues on it. Nothing about Ana & Luís's wedding is billed to Ana or Luís, and nothing on the phone asks Inês's teammates to pay for what they open.
