Frequently Asked Questions
Is Amara better than Zola for seating?
Amara includes QR code seat finding and live video — features Zola doesn’t offer. Zola is better if you only need RSVP and a basic website.
How is Amara different from GuestCam?
GuestCam focuses on photo/video capture. Amara combines that with live streaming to a projector and a full seating chart.
Does Amara replace EventLive?
For most couples, yes. Amara offers live streaming plus seating and guestbook features EventLive doesn’t have.
Can I use Amara with other wedding planning tools?
Yes. Amara handles the day-of experience (seating, video, streaming). Use any planning tool for RSVPs, registries, and websites.
What does Amara cost compared to alternatives?
Amara starts at $49 for all features combined. Comparable coverage from separate tools costs $150–$300+.
