Short answer: Weddingkart is the closest operational competitor in India, and it asks for ₹4,999 + GST per wedding before anything happens. That is roughly ₹5,899 with tax, paid up front, for a product you have not yet watched a guest use. Wedence gives you the invitation, the wedding website, per-event RSVP and an unlimited guest list for nothing, and charges when you want the guest-management layer on top.
This is not a page arguing that Weddingkart is bad. It does real work and ₹4,999 is fair for what it does. It is a page about when you pay, and what you are able to check before you do. Facts were read off its public pages on 16 September 2026.
The difference is where the free line sits
Both products believe the same thing about Indian weddings: that WhatsApp is the channel, that RSVPs have to be per function, and that guest management is the real work. They draw the paid line in different places.
Weddingkart references a free trial but does not publish what it contains or how long it lasts, and its stated entry price is ₹4,999 + GST per wedding covering guest management, WhatsApp invites, RSVP tracking and travel coordination.
Wedence draws the line after the invitation. The animated invite, the full wedding website, per-event RSVP, an unlimited guest list and the guestbook are free forever on two designs. You can build the whole thing, send it to three hundred people, and collect RSVP counts without paying. Pro at ₹3,999 one-time — still below Weddingkart’s entry price before GST — adds named RSVP data with filters and export, guest groups, WhatsApp sending for up to 500 guests, scheduled sends and automatic chasers.

Why Wedence leads
You can prove it works before you pay. This is the strongest argument on the page. Build the real site, send it to your family group, watch your aunt open it on her phone, collect actual RSVPs — then decide whether the paid layer is worth it. With a ₹4,999 entry price you are making that judgement from a demo and a sales page.
The invitation is a designed thing, not a form. Weddingkart is guest-management first, and it is good at that. Wedence starts from an animated invitation built for the ceremony — nikah, roce, muhurtham, pheras — because the invitation is what three hundred people actually see. The guest management sits behind it.
Per-group invite links. One link for everyone, another for the office that carries only the reception, each with its own headline date and countdown. Guests are not shown functions they are not invited to, and a guest who registers through a group link is filed into that group automatically.
Private Access, if you want it. A mobile-number OTP checked against your own guest list before the wedding will render at all — enforced on the endpoints as well as the page, with revocable sessions and single-use rescue codes for the guest whose number was mistyped.
One-time, and published. Every tier is on the pricing page, with ₹5 per guest beyond a plan’s included count. Nothing renews, because a wedding happens once — and international cards are accepted, so relatives paying from abroad are not a problem.
What Wedence costs, precisely. The animated invite, the full wedding website, per-event RSVP, an unlimited guest list and the guestbook are free forever, with no watermark and no credit card, on two designs — Wedding Cinema and Bellagio. The other eight are an inexpensive one-time add-on per wedding, and frequently discounted — see the pricing page for today’s figure. Pro is ₹3,999 one-time and includes all ten designs, named RSVP data with filters and export, guest groups, and WhatsApp for up to 500 guests. Signature is ₹7,999 and adds per-group event invites, multi-host logins, QR arrival and room allocation. Everything is a one-time payment, because a wedding happens once, and international cards are accepted if the bill is being paid from abroad. Full pricing →
Where Weddingkart is genuinely the right answer
Personalised media is a real feature and Wedence does not have it. Burning each guest’s name into the image or PDF before sending produces something that feels individually addressed, and for families who care about that formality it is worth money. Wedence’s answer is a per-group link rather than a per-guest file, which is a different trade.
Its travel-ticket handling over WhatsApp is also well thought through, and on a large destination wedding where guests are sending tickets constantly that workflow may suit you better than ours.
What is not a reason to pay up front is the assumption that you get more by doing so. Wedence Pro is the cheaper of the two before GST is even added, and everything below Pro — the invitation, the website, per-event RSVP, the unlimited guest list — you can test with real guests for nothing first.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Weddingkart cost?
Its site states from ₹4,999 + GST per wedding on 16 September 2026, covering guest management, WhatsApp invites, RSVP tracking and travel coordination. It is priced per wedding rather than as a subscription. A free trial is referenced without published contents or duration.
Is Wedence cheaper than Weddingkart?
For the invitation, the wedding website, per-event RSVP and an unlimited guest list, Wedence is free and Weddingkart is not. For the full guest-management layer, Wedence Pro is ₹3,999 one-time against Weddingkart’s ₹4,999 + GST. Above that, Wedence Signature at ₹7,999 adds arrival passes, room allocation and multi-host logins.
Does Wedence send bulk WhatsApp invitations?
Yes, on Pro and above, through approved templates with delivery and response reporting, plus automatic chasers to the guests who have not replied. The free tier does not send automated messages.
Can Wedence put each guest's name on the invitation?
Not burned into an image, no. Wedence uses per-group links instead — a separate invitation for the bride’s side, the office or the day-two guests, each showing only the relevant functions with its own date and countdown. If per-guest personalised media is what you want, Weddingkart has it and we do not.
What happens to my data if I stop using Wedence?
Your guest list is exportable on Pro and above, every wedding’s data is isolated from every other wedding at the database level, and guest phone numbers are never sold or shared with vendors. Email us from the account address if you want the whole thing deleted.
