Planly brings guests, budget, tasks and RSVPs into one gorgeous dashboard. From birthday bashes to corporate galas.
Planly is packed with tools that keep you organised from first invite to last dance.
Add guests with names, emails, phone numbers, ages and company details. Track RSVPs in real-time — Going, Maybe or Declined. Colour-code guests and filter by response status.
Set a total budget and break it down by category. Log planned vs actual spend per item. The live budget ring shows you exactly how much wiggle room you have left.
Create tasks with due dates, priority levels and assignees. Mark tasks done as you go. A progress bar shows overall party readiness at a glance.
Build a minute-by-minute run sheet for the day. Add time-stamped entries for arrivals, speeches, cake-cutting, and more — so nothing gets forgotten.
Send beautiful HTML email invitations directly from Planly. Guests click Going / Maybe / Can't make it and their RSVP is recorded automatically — no login required.
Choose from 8 party backgrounds, 30+ emoji icons, and 5 premium fonts. Your party dashboard reflects your event's personality.
Browse South African vendors — caterers, DJs, decorators, photographers and more. Save favourites to your party and access their contact details instantly.
Share your party with co-planners. Changes sync live via WebSocket so your whole team always sees the latest guest list and task status.
Get notified when a guest RSVPs, when a task is overdue, or when a co-planner makes a change. Stay on top of every detail without checking constantly.
No tutorials needed. Just sign up and start planning.
Sign up free. No credit card required. Start with up to 3 parties on the free plan.
Give it a name, date, venue and theme. Pick a background and emoji to make it yours.
Add guests and send them an email RSVP invitation in one click. Track responses as they arrive.
Add tasks, set your budget, build a timeline. Planly keeps you on track all the way to party day.
Real data, live updates, and a clean interface that never gets in your way.
Planly is built with South African POPIA compliance in mind. Guest and user PII is always encrypted.
All guest PII — names, emails, phone numbers, ages and company details — is encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC. Raw data never touches the database.
We collect only what's needed, give you full control over your data, and never sell personal information to third parties.
Passwords are hashed with bcrypt (cost 12). Sessions use HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite cookies and expire automatically.
All data is hosted on South African servers via Afrihost. Your data stays local — no cross-border transfers.
No hidden fees. Cancel anytime.
