SeatPlan.io is an online seating chart maker for weddings, classrooms, events, and other gatherings. Its designer lets users arrange seating by drag and drop around round or rectangular tables, and guest lists can be imported from CSV. Event Manager can import floor plans from photos, screenshots, PDFs, and CAD DXF files, bringing DXF blueprints in at exact scale. It supports client links with view-only, editing, or check-in-only permissions, along with real-time updates. Door staff can check guests in from a phone using a link without an account. Depending on the plan, guest-facing options include QR seat finding and Apple and Google Wallet seat passes. Event Manager has no stated guest or table limit, though guest-list CSV or Excel files are capped at 5MB. The free plan offers full design and guest-list import but does not save work or export PDFs. Pro costs £8 as a one-time payment, Collaborate costs £14 one-time, Classroom costs £29 per school year when billed annually, and Event Manager is £35 per month when billed annually.
