It's free
The Knot doesn't charge for its wedding website. WedKit is $49 CAD after a 7-day trial. If budget decides it, The Knot wins.A registry in the same account
The Knot's website and registry live together. WedKit has no registry of its own. You link to the one you use.Planning content and vendors
The Knot has checklists, articles and a vendor directory. WedKit won't help you find a photographer or a venue.A template may be all you need
If one of The Knot's designs already looks like your wedding, WedKit's design controls won't change much for you.

Where WedKit is different
What the $49 pays for, if the points above aren't the deciding ones.
Design is several decisions, not one template
Start from one of 4 art directions, each a palette, type pairing and section rhythm. Then change the hero layout (7 options, 3 that need no photo) or the type pairing (16 named pairs) without starting over.Meal choices come in with the RSVP
Guests pick a meal and note dietary needs in the same form. The counts you send your caterer come straight from the guest list.The site can require an invitation code
Turn on code protection and guests get in with the code from their invitation. Your schedule and addresses aren't on an open page.Invitations, reminders and texts from one list
Send invitations and reminders by email, in English, French or both. Guests who opt in to texts on their RSVP can also get updates by SMS.One payment
$49 CAD once. No subscription and no vendor ads on your site.
