Strengths and weaknesses
Gathr
- Free for you and your guests, with no ads
- Handles multi-day weddings with many functions
- Guests reply without installing anything
- The planner app is iPhone and iPad only
- No registry or wedding website builder
Gathr handles the whole guest side of a wedding or party: invitations guests answer from a link, RSVPs, a checklist, a budget and a schedule for every function, from mehendi to reception. A co-host can plan alongside you. Guests need no app, and nobody pays a fee. It is less of a wedding website builder than Zola, but for organising the guest list it is excellent and free.

Neighbr
- No fees for either side
- Your exact address stays private
- No cold messages from strangers
- Fewer helpers than TaskRabbit in most areas
- Payment is up to you, with no built-in protection
Neighbr is for small jobs: a jump-start, a couch to carry, a dog walk. You say what you need and what it's worth, neighbours nearby offer, and you pick who helps. A private chat only opens once you choose someone, and your exact address is only shared with that person. There are no fees, though that also means no payment protection, and how useful it is depends on how many neighbours use it.
