What WedSites and Managing Matrimony each say on their own public pages about price, plans and features — with the page and the date beside every fact.

Please read this first

Managing Matrimony makes one of the products on this page, so please read it with that in mind. Every fact below was read from that provider's own public pages on the date shown beside it. We have not tested the other products hands-on, so nothing here is scored, rated or ranked. Where a provider's pages did not say something, the row reads “Not stated” rather than a guess. Prices, plans and limits change — check the provider's own page before you decide.

Managing Matrimony — our notes from reading these pages

Publishing party's own product. "ABN 31 680 578 143" and "Managing Matrimony Australia Wide" shown in the footer; https://www.managingmatrimony.com.au/services states "A family team, Sydney-based", which is the source for the headquarters field. A first-week 10% welcome-gift discount is advertised on the page but excluded here per the protocol's standard-pricing rule (no promotional pricing). Profile pass 2026-09-02: no App Store or Google Play listing was found by search, and no Capterra, G2, Trustpilot or ProductReview.com.au listing was found, so appStores are recorded "unstated" and ratings is empty rather than guessed. Coordination prices on /services are "from" figures and are quoted here as the page states them, not as plan pricing.

WedSites — our notes from reading these pages

The cohort's officialUrl (a Help Center article) rendered too thin for exact digits via automated fetch; the live pricing page at https://wedsites.com/pricing?currency=aud (fetched 2026-09-02, one additional official page per protocol) supplied the authoritative AUD figures used in the plans above: Basic $59, Standard $159, Pro $319, all one-time payments. "Vendor payment reminders" appears on Pro but no browsable vendor directory/marketplace is described, so vendorDirectory is unstated rather than yes. 14-day money-back guarantee on paid plans; extended hosting after the plan period is $5/month billed yearly. No AUD/GST position or Australian ownership/base claim found on either page. Profile pass 2026-09-02: https://wedsites.com/about states "Made with love in Melbourne, Australia" — australianBase is recorded as yes on that basis (corrected 2026-09-02). Two contradictions inside their own material, both recorded as found: https://wedsites.com/vendors is headed "Vendor directory" and filters by category and country, while https://help.wedsites.com/en/articles/14456365-wedsites-vs-weddingwire states WedSites does not include a vendor directory; and the same help centre publishes 32 "WedSites vs" articles under https://help.wedsites.com/en/collections/19331805-compare, all of which are listed in comparisonPages.
