The whole idea
However long your engagement runs, you pay once
A subscription charges you for every month you are still planning. Take longer, pay more. A one-time purchase does not care how long your engagement lasts.
Each dot is a month of planning. The number of months is illustrative; the billing pattern is not.
There is a second reason couples go looking for this, less about money and more about trust. A subscription app usually means an account, a login, and your guest list and budget sitting on someone else's server for as long as you keep paying.
Big Day Wedding Planner works the other way. Your plan lives in your own browser, on your own device. There is no account to be locked out of, no server holding your data, and no ongoing relationship to maintain once you have paid.
What the payment buys
A complete planner, not a trial that expires
Every section below is part of the edition you buy. Nothing here unlocks later for an extra fee, and nothing switches off when the wedding is over.
The trade-off, honestly
One-time payment against a subscription
A subscription app can look cheaper on day one and keep adding features, because it is billing you the whole time it builds them. A one-time purchase has to earn the whole price upfront. Here is the honest version.
| Subscription planning apps | Big Day Wedding Planner | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Billed monthly or annually while you plan | One payment: $49 or $99 |
| Account | Required: email, password, login | Not required: one access code |
| Your data | Held on the provider's servers | In your browser, on your device |
| After the wedding | Cancel it, or keep paying for it | Nothing to do. It is already yours |
| Offline | Usually needs a live connection | Works with no connection at all |
| Updates | Ongoing, tied to continued billing | The edition you buy is complete on day one |

Questions
The ones people actually ask
Is this really a one-time payment, with no subscription later?
Yes. You pay once when you buy an edition: $49 for Classic or Classic Pride, $99 for Premium or Premium Pride. That's the only charge. There's no monthly fee, no recurring billing, and nothing that renews automatically before your wedding.
Do I need to create an account?
No account needed. You access your planner with a simple one-time code included in your welcome PDF. After that, your planner opens instantly every time you visit the link.
Is my wedding data safe and private?
Completely. Your data is stored in your browser on your own device. It never leaves your computer or phone. We have no servers storing your information.
Can I use it on multiple devices?
Yes. Open the link on any device and enter your access code. Use the Export feature in Settings to save your data file, then Import it on your other device to bring everything across.
Is there a free version I can try before paying?
Yes. The free planner includes a Dashboard, Budget Tracker, and Timeline, with no signup and no time limit. You can upgrade to a paid edition any time and keep everything you've already entered.
What happens if I stop paying?
Nothing happens, because there is nothing to stop paying. There's no subscription to cancel and no recurring charge that could lapse. Once you've bought an edition, it's yours.
