Martida vs Zola
Zola is strong before the day: Zola gives couples a free wedding website, registry, planning tools, guest list, seating charts and vendor discovery. Martida is a paid app that runs the wedding itself, with a budget that tracks every cost, synced event access, doors, vendor movement and the memory record.
It is a mostly single-day, mainstream wedding and you want a free website, a gift registry, and a place to find vendors.
Your wedding runs over several days, you invite by family, and you need a real budget, the door, and the day run.
What you get on Martida
The five things a wedding website cannot do, that the day actually needs.
A real budget that tracks the wedding as it changes
Every cost, vendor and contract stays in one record. Mark deposits, attach agreements, scan receipts, and see what is paid, due this week, and still left against the ceiling.
Every event is connected to the same households
Martida treats a wedding as days, event blocks, households and seats. The same guest can be invited to the nikah, the dinner, the reception, or all of them without keeping separate spreadsheets alive.
Run the live wedding, not just the website
The door team scans passes, the couple and planner see what changed, vendors receive GO and HOLD cues, and crew can keep the room moving from the same wedding record.
One guest pass from invitation to memories
A guest opens one link. It carries their invitation, event access, seat information, door pass, and the private memory layer for photos, videos and voice blessings.
Made for large family-led cultural weddings
Multi-day structures, family-owned guest lists, hundreds of guests, multiple languages, prayer-aware schedules and day-of dignity are the starting point, not a workaround.
The full comparison
Feature by feature, including where Zola genuinely leads.
Which one should you choose?
If your wedding is mostly one day and fairly standard, Zola is excellent and free, and the registry alone may be reason enough.
If it runs over several days, gathers hundreds of guests by family, and has to actually be run on the day, that is the wedding Martida is built for. They are not mutually exclusive: Zola can host the public website while Martida runs the live wedding record.
Common questions
Is Martida a Zola alternative?+
Not exactly. Zola is a free website, registry and planning suite. Martida is a paid app for running large, multi-day weddings. Plenty of couples can use both.
Can Zola handle a multi-day wedding?+
Zola can list several events, collect guest responses and support seating charts for multiple events. Martida goes further by making days, access, doors, vendors and memories part of one shared wedding record.
Does Martida have a gift registry?+
No. Martida runs the event. Pair it with a registry if you want one.
