Pricing, Side by Side
Floors.live
Free to start. Planner Pro $69/mo, Studio $129/mo, Enterprise $399/mo — all monthly, cancel anytime. Or skip the subscription: 10 free editing minutes per event, then unlock an event with grids (packs from $39).
Social Tables
Custom enterprise quotes only (part of a Cvent contract). Annual enterprise contract.
Competitor pricing is shown only where the vendor publishes it. A “—” means the information is not published — we don’t guess.
Why Choose Floors.live
Published pricing instead of a sales call
Social Tables has no published pricing — buying it means a demo, a sales call, and a custom enterprise quote as part of a Cvent contract. Floors.live puts its pricing on the page: free to start, Planner Pro at $69/month, Studio at $129/month, all monthly with no annual commitment.
A dedicated tool, not a suite module
Social Tables is bundled inside the Cvent Event Management suite. If floor plans and seating charts are what you need, Floors.live gives you exactly that: a browser-based 2D editor, a photorealistic 3D view, guest seating with auto-assign, and PDF/PNG exports with a capacity summary.
Pay-per-event option
Not every planner wants a subscription. Floors.live gives you 10 free editing minutes per event, and you can unlock an event with grids — packs start at $39, and grids never expire. Social Tables offers no comparable pay-per-event path; it requires a Cvent contract.
Right-to-left and multilingual by design
Floors.live supports Hebrew with full RTL layout, plus English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Social Tables has no Hebrew / RTL support.
Switching from Social Tables
- 1
Export your current diagram to PDF (or take a full-view screenshot). That gives you a reference image of your current Social Tables layout.
- 2
Upload it as a background image in Floors.live (JPG/PNG, or an image from a URL). If you have the venue as a DWG file, import it directly — CAD import runs in your browser and files are never uploaded.
- 3
Calibrate the scale to the venue’s real dimensions with the built-in scale calibration tool, so every table and aisle measures true.
- 4
Rebuild the layout with the object library, then switch on the photorealistic 3D view to check sightlines and share a link — your clients don’t need an account to view it.
Your guest list can come along too — import guests from CSV and let auto-assign seat them under your constraints.
