Planned 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Pros:

[sensitive content hidden] was exceptional. She was very timely in her responses and acknowledged all matters.

Cons:

the token payment method- it is a little awkward

Reasons for choosing Planned

i had initially chosen KAPOW because i used them last year. They never even responded. I had a choice - per my firm, and i chose Planned because KAPOW didn't bother to respond. PLANNED was right on it- we were very happy with the service.

Reasons for switching to Planned

They did not respond in a timely manner and were not attentive to the details. They waited too long to handle issues and weren't available when i needed them. This experience was much better. [sensitive content hidden] is A+++

Review form a the supplier side

We liked the experience of the platform. We worked on an event with a client and it went well overall using the platform. We'd like to be able to get more in touch with the client (telephone, email, meeting at the event site, etc) because communication is essential while planning an event and for the supplier, it is hard to work via a chat only...

Functionality

Pros:

As a supplier on the platform, we really like the main goal of the platform which is to connect the buyers with the supplier easily.

Cons:

We are not able to modify our profile yet and we would like to be able to fix our description and photos so we can update our presentation. Also, as a supplier, different people in our team have to talk with the client so we didn't like the fact that we can't have different team members in our team that can connect and get notified on the platform.

Vendor Response

Hey Hugo, we're really happy to see your feedback. We'd like to share some comments on it: we're currently working on implementing the ability for our partners to edit their own listings because we recognize how important this capability is. As well, the Planned team can add multiple team members to a vendor account, so we'll reach out to you and make those additions today! We look forward to continuing our great partnership with you and your team!

Pros:

I was impressed with the ability to narrow down options to a specific area of the city.

Cons:

With the new implementation and it still being rolled out, there were issues with getting replies from vendors. I needed to speak to my representative at Planned to get replies manually.

Planned is revolutionizing the event planning industry

Planned is a great digital solution for the event planning industry, connecting the best vendors with amazing clients. We look forward to growing our business with Planned.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

We use Planned on the vendor side and we love working with their team. Something that is often missed or overlooked with emerging digital software in the talent booking and event spaces is the critical personal attention oftentimes needed from a dedicated client support team. That was not an oversight or afterthought with Planned. Their team is available and engaged to support both users and vendors on the platform to ensure success.

Cons:

It can be a little tricky to communicate directly on the platform with clients as you are making contract changes or negotiating term points!

Vendor Response

Hey Madison, we're thrilled to see your feedback on Planned. We loved to hear how positive your experience has been on the platform since the beginning of our partnership with you and your team. We are sharing this feedback with our product team to ensure that contract and negotiation exchanges are a smooth experience in the platform. We're looking forward to continuing to revolutionize events alongside you!

Pros:

Very nice user-friendly platform. I always turn to Planned for events I book and manage, for all size or type! Super useful to find vendors and unique locations, that are different than the typical hotel ballroom. The team is also awesome and very helpful team in supporting my events, and recommending the best venues and vendors!

Cons:

I cannot think of any cons, I am very satisfied with this software and added filters to help navigate and find the best venues and vendors.

Vendor Response

Hi Geneve, we're really happy to see your feedback as you've been a long time Planned user at this point! Given all the events you've worked on in Planned, we're so thrilled to see that you love the platform. We're looking forward to all the future events we will collaborate on.
