Questions couples ask
Is PlanJolly free?
There is a seven-day free trial, then PlanJolly costs £9.99 a month or £59.99 a year. Its terms say a subscription is needed to keep using the app after the trial, and your plan stays saved if you stop paying.
How is PlanHitch different from PlanJolly?
Both are UK apps paid for by couples, with no supplier paying to reach you. PlanJolly keeps to a checklist, a budget and supplier emails, in an app on your phone. PlanHitch runs in the browser and also covers the guest list and RSVPs, the seating plan, invitations, a wedding website and contract reviews, with a free plan that doesn't run out.
Can I use both?
Yes, though most couples will want one place for the checklist. PlanHitch's first contract review is free on any plan, so you can have a venue contract read whichever app you plan in.
