ScanRSVP vs Joy
Joy bundles a wedding website with travel and registry. ScanRSVP is the focused RSVP layer with QR codes for any event — wedding or otherwise.
Joy is great if you want a wedding app experience with built-in registry and guest messaging. ScanRSVP is great if you want a focused RSVP tool that prints a QR code on physical invitations and tracks responses without a separate app.
