Comparison
Tesserae vs Aisle Planner
Aisle Planner is established software for professional wedding planners, sold as a monthly subscription with per-project limits on lower tiers. Tesserae's planner plan takes a simpler shape: one subscription, unlimited client workspaces, and the same tools couples use — so clients can genuinely collaborate.
What Aisle Planner does well
Aisle Planner is built for the business of planning: lead capture, proposals, contracts, and invoicing alongside planning checklists. Established planning firms with a sales pipeline get real value from that CRM layer.
Where Tesserae takes a different approach
Tesserae focuses on the planning work itself and on couple collaboration. Every client gets a full workspace — guests, RSVPs, budget, vendors, website, day-of — and the planner plan includes unlimited clients at one flat price, rather than tiering by active project count.
