Two wedding prediction pools.
Here's exactly how they differ.
Both let guests predict your wedding day from a link, no app required. Here's where they actually differ — price, what's free before you commit, and what happens if your plans change.
Head to head
Same idea. A few real differences.
| Category | BettingOnTheWedding.com | Wedding Parlay◆ This one |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $49.99, one time. | $40, one time — when you go live. |
| Building it for free | A free preview, capped at 3 guests and 5 bets. | Free to build in full — every question, every guest — before you pay a cent. |
| Answering a question | Custom bets take up to five preset answer choices. | Four answer formats — yes/no, multiple choice, an exact number, or a time of day. |
| If your plans change | Purchases are final and non-refundable, per their terms. | Full refund within 14 days of going live, as long as you haven't opened entries yet. |
| Printable materials | One printable QR code. | Table cards, tent cards, signs and place cards — QR-coded, at real trim size. |
| Splitting the pot | "Split-the-Pot" and "Treasurer Mode" for upfront collection. | Preset or custom splits — winner-take-all, top three, or your own percentages. |
| Bringing in help | "Co-organizer access" — no detail on what permissions that includes. | A commissioner who marks the day but never touches money or the reveal, or a co-admin with full access — your choice. |

Common questions
How is Wedding Parlay different from BettingOnTheWedding.com?
Both let guests predict your wedding day from a link, with no app required. The differences are in the details: Wedding Parlay is $40 versus their $49.99, you can build your entire site for free before paying (their free preview caps out at 3 guests and 5 bets), and questions can take an exact number or time as an answer, not just a pick from a short list.
Does BettingOnTheWedding.com require an app?
No. Like Wedding Parlay, guests can play entirely from a mobile browser — their app is optional, not required.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
With Wedding Parlay, yes — a full refund within 14 days of going live, as long as you haven't opened entries yet. BettingOnTheWedding.com's terms state that purchases are final and non-refundable, except where required by law or app store policy.
Does either platform take a cut of the money guests put in?
No, neither does. BettingOnTheWedding.com's terms state they do not process, hold or transmit money between participants, and Wedding Parlay works the same way — guests settle up directly with each other, or with whoever's collecting, over Venmo, PayPal or cash.
Is this comparison fair to BettingOnTheWedding.com?
