What Appy Couple is good at
- One payment rather than a subscription, which is the right shape for a wedding.
- The guest app is unusual: guests get the schedule, the map and the reply form on their phone.
What Vows does differently
- You describe the day in a sentence and the whole site is written for you: your story, the schedule, travel, the gallery and the reply form. Nothing to fill in.
- Building and reading it cost nothing. The one payment is when you publish: $99 and it stays online, or $49 for a year.
- Nobody is selling anything to your guests. No registry, no vendor advertising, no tracking.
- Change anything by asking, in a sentence, for as long as the site is up.
- Any language. One whole-site translation is included, reply form and all.
Choose Appy Couple if
Choose Appy Couple if you want your guests to have an app as well as a website, and you are happy to fill the design in yourself.
Choose Vows if
You want a designed site written for your wedding rather than a template you fill in, at an address of your own, for one payment, with nothing sold to your guests. And if your wedding is the kind the template builders handle badly: two languages, guests flying in, a weekend rather than a day.
Looking for a Appy Couple alternative?
People looking for an Appy Couple alternative usually want the one-payment shape without filling in a template: a site written for them from a sentence, changed by asking, in any language. Vows is that, at $99 for good or $49 for a year.
Try it before deciding: describe your day, read the whole site, and pay only if you want it online. Start with a sentence, or look at the designs first.
