Native app vs web workspace
EventSync: a native app on iOS and Android; the day-of view lives on each person's phone.
Wedding Computer: a web workspace; the day-of view runs in a browser (no app-store app).
Wedding Computer alternative · for couples, planners, and vendors
The Wedding Computer alternative built for the live day.
Wedding Computer is a new (2026) web workspace that puts the whole wedding on one page — a shared run-sheet plus a vendor CRM with invoicing, built-in email, and AI drafting, free for couples. Its reminders are email, and its automated reminders are described as on the roadmap rather than shipped. EventSync is the native day-of layer: a phone app on iOS and Android with live role-aware push and planner-reviewed recovery.
Wedding day
One page, no push.
Wedding Computer's live run-sheet can show the day drifting, but it sends no alert. EventSync sends a vendor-late alert to the lead; the planner then reviews the SmartRipple recovery preview and applies it only after approval.
The core difference
A collaborative web page vs a native app for the live day.
Wedding Computer is a capable, collaborative workspace with a real vendor CRM. The gap is running the live day from a phone: native app, push instead of email, and recovery when the schedule slips.
Live push vs email reminders
EventSync: role-targeted push, a next-event heads-up, and a vendor-late alert — live today.
Wedding Computer: email reminders; automated reminders are described as on the roadmap, not shipped.
Offline vs requires internet
EventSync: works offline at the venue and syncs when the connection returns.
Wedding Computer: needs an internet connection; cross-device sync is a paid Pro feature.
Role boards with data vs persona views
EventSync: a purpose-built board per role, driven by the event's real timeline and guest data.
Wedding Computer: three persona views (couple, venue-planner, vendor) of one shared run-sheet.

Why teams switch
Five EventSync differentiators, stated as verified product facts.
Wedding Computer is a capable web workspace with a real vendor CRM. The difference is the live day itself: a native app in every pocket, push instead of email, and recovery when the schedule slips.
Native on both platforms
EventSync ships as a native iOS and Android app, so every vendor runs the wedding day from their own phone — no browser login on the day.
Offline at the venue
Works offline at the venue: the Day-Of app reads and writes to a local on-device database, queues changes, and syncs automatically when the connection returns. The newest edit wins on a conflict.
Live recovery and role-aware alerts
SmartRipple previews updated timing across downstream blocks. An authorized planner or team lead reviews and explicitly applies the recovery before the timeline or affected-role views change. Included with Day-Of at no extra charge.
Purpose-built role boards
Every crew and guest role gets its own purpose-built Day-Of view — photographer, videographer, caterer, venue, DJ/MC, assistant, generic vendor, plus calm receive-only views for guests, wedding party, family, and the couple — driven by the event's real timeline and guest data.
The same data from planning to day-of
EventSync Workspace (web) is a full desktop planning app: checklist, run-of-show builder with starter templates, budget, vendor directory with contracts, guest list, drag-and-drop seating chart, couple permissions, planning viewers, progress dashboard, and export — all on the same synced data as the mobile app.
Where they are ahead
Where Wedding Computer is ahead of EventSync.
Wedding Computer is a different shape of product, and it does things EventSync deliberately doesn't.
A real vendor CRM
Wedding Computer includes invoicing, built-in email, and AI drafting for vendors. EventSync focuses on the live wedding day and does not offer a CRM or AI drafting.
Free for couples
Wedding Computer is free for couples and charges vendors. EventSync charges couples a one-time pass for Day-Of tools (planning is free).
One collaborative page
Wedding Computer's whole-wedding-on-one-page model, with a vendor-change approval flow, is a clean way to keep everyone on the same run-sheet.
Paid upgrade
Meet the Wedding Day Assistant.
The Wedding Day Assistant reads the day for you. It is a rules-based briefing layer that turns your timeline into the right prompt at the right moment for each role.
It turns the plan into live, hands-free guidance. It reads the wedding-day timeline and each person's role and surfaces focus cards — short readiness briefings that tell each crew member what to prep now, what's coming next, and what needs their attention, so nobody keeps scrolling the master schedule.
SmartRipple is the free recovery engine. Role boards are the free per-role views. The Wedding Day Assistant is the paid, proactive briefing layer on top.
What to prep now
A short readiness briefing for the person's role at the current point in the timeline.
What's coming next
A concise look-ahead so the crew member can stage the next handoff without scanning the master schedule.
What needs attention
A role-specific prompt when the timeline or status says something needs the crew member's focus.
