Seating chart tools, compared honestly
Prismm (AllSeated) no longer takes new events, and Cvent says access ends in June 2027, so anyone still planning on it needs another tool. These pages put each tool's published price next to ours, dated to when we checked, and say plainly where the other tool is the better pick.

How we write these
- Every fact about another tool is dated and links to the page we read it on.
- If we have no note on a feature, it is left out of the table.
- No logos, no ratings, no reviews.
- Each page has a section on where the other tool is the better choice.
