The Problem with Monthly Subscriptions
The software industry loves monthly subscriptions. It is a fantastic business model for companies because it guarantees recurring revenue. However, for event planning, monthly subscriptions are deeply flawed and often end up costing you significantly more than anticipated.
When you plan a wedding or a large event, the timeline is highly variable. You might start gathering names a year and a half in advance. Then, you might take a six month break from planning before sending out the official invitations. If you are paying a monthly fee for your event software during those idle six months, you are wasting money on a service you are not actively using.

The Forgetfulness Tax
Subscription models often rely on what industry insiders call the "forgetfulness tax". You sign up for a service, use it heavily for a few weeks, and then forget to cancel it when you no longer need it. Months later, you realize you have been paying for a tool you have not touched.
Event planning is stressful enough without having to set calendar reminders to cancel your software subscriptions the day after your wedding. You should be enjoying your honeymoon, not auditing your credit card statements for lingering charges from various software vendors.
The Laylaty Approach: Flat Per-Event Pricing
At Laylaty, we decided to reject the monthly subscription model entirely. We believe you should pay for the value of managing a single event, regardless of how long it takes you to plan it. This is why we use a flat per-event pricing structure. We built this platform to bring calm to your process, starting with a clear and honest pricing model.
Pay Once, Plan Forever
When you purchase a Laylaty plan, you pay one flat fee. That fee covers the entirety of your event from the day you create the dashboard until the last guest leaves the venue. Whether you plan your event in three weeks or three years, the price remains exactly the same.
This model provides absolute budget certainty. When you are managing a strict wedding budget, you need to know exactly what every tool costs upfront. With our flat pricing, there are no hidden fees, no recurring charges, and no surprise bills months down the line. You make one payment and focus entirely on creating a memorable gathering for your guests.

Honest Limitations of Our Model
While we strongly believe in our flat pricing model, we want to be fully transparent about its limitations.
First, storage is strictly finite. Unlike some subscription services that falsely advertise endless capacity, we offer specific storage limits per tier (1 GB, 5 GB, and 20 GB). Hosting digital assets costs money, and clear limits allow us to maintain a fast, reliable platform without resorting to subscriptions. We simply cannot provide boundless hosting for heavy video files.
Second, the flat fee is per event. If you are an event planner managing ten different weddings simultaneously, you will need to purchase a separate plan for each distinct event. We do not currently offer a bulk agency subscription.
Finally, we prioritize robust guest management and communication over bloated secondary features. For instance, we do not provide any form of gift registry functionality. Our platform is dedicated to guest logistics and smooth RSVP collection.
Why We Do Not Hide Our Prices
If you look at many event software websites, you have to dig through multiple pages to find the actual cost. They want you to sign up before revealing the price. We put our pricing front and center because we believe it is fair and highly competitive.
We want you to compare the €19 one-time cost of our Essential plan against a service that charges €15 every single month for a year. The math clearly favors the flat fee structure. When transparency is prioritized, couples can make informed decisions quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
