What it does
- Place round, rectangular and custom tables and rotate them to any angle — not just 90° steps
- Drag guests onto the exact seat around a table, not just onto the table
- Groups and "keep apart" rules that flag a seating the moment it breaks a rule
- Optional meal choice per guest, shown on the chart and in the export
- Import guests from a CSV file or straight from Contacts
- Export a print-ready PDF or image of the finished chart
- iCloud sync keeps a plan current across your own devices

Questions
- Is SeatPlan really free?
- Yes. The canvas editor — placing, resizing and free-rotating tables — is free, for up to 30 guests on one plan. A one-time $9.99 purchase removes that cap and unlocks groups, keep-apart rules, meal choices, CSV/Contacts import, PDF/image export and iCloud sync. It's a single purchase, not a subscription.
- Do I need to create an account?
- No. There is no sign-up, no login and no account anywhere in SeatPlan.
- Can I rotate a table to any angle, or only 90°?
- Any angle. Drag the rotation handle or dial in a number, and the table turns freely — this is the reason SeatPlan exists, after seeing other seating apps that only snap to 90°.
- How do "keep apart" rules work?
- Tag two guests with a keep-apart rule and SeatPlan flags it the moment they end up seated together, so you catch it before you print, not after.
- Can I print the finished chart?
- Yes — export a PDF or image sized for printing, with guest names, groups and meal choices shown, once you unlock Unlimited.
