Guest Bets vs MyWeddingBetting
Guest Bets is a prediction game for the bachelor party, the bachelorette party, the rehearsal dinner, and your most special day. You write the questions, guests answer from one link with no app and no account, and a live leaderboard sorts them out. Your first 3 events are free with unlimited guests. Guests can type a real answer rather than pick from a list, a friend can keep score for you, and the same account runs the baby shower and the Super Bowl party later.
MyWeddingBetting is built for weddings and nothing else. It costs $30, paid up front, and its free tier is 3 predictions with unlimited guests and no credit card. Like ours, it needs no app from anybody, and it is focused on being a good game for the guests, which is what we are building too. It also ships things we charge for, including custom couple branding and a cover photo in the $30. The difference is the shape of the free tier and what happens after the wedding: Guest Bets gives you 3 whole events at no cost, and it still works for you the next time you throw a party of any kind.
Where Guest Bets is different
Occasions: One tool for every party, not just the wedding
MyWeddingBetting is built for weddings and nothing else. The day after the wedding it has nothing left to do. Guest Bets runs the wedding, then the baby shower, the Super Bowl party, the birthday, the awards show, and game night, on the same account with the same kind of link and the same leaderboard. Your questions are still there the next time.
Price: Three free events, or three free predictions
Both products have a free tier, and they are different shapes. MyWeddingBetting lists 3 predictions, unlimited guests and no credit card. Guest Bets gives you 3 whole events, each with as many questions and as many guests as you want, also with no credit card. Paid, they are $30 one time; we are $10 once for an Event Pass, or $5 a month for unlimited events.
Questions: Your guests can write an answer, not just pick from a list
Ask what colour the mother of the bride will wear, or what the first dance song will be, and let people type it. Free text answers are matched with a tolerance of two characters, so "fuchsia" and "fuschia" both score, and a guest is never punished for spelling. Multiple choice and numbers stay exact, because those should be. On MyWeddingBetting, guests pick from listed outcomes.
Invites: You can see who has not picked yet
Every invite shows as invited, opened, or picked, so you know where you stand the day before. One tap emails everyone who is still missing. If you would rather not think about it at all, Guest Bets sends that nudge on its own 3 hours before picks close.
Your guests: A guest types a name and plays
No account to create, no password to reset at the reception, nothing to remember later. Guests open one link or scan a QR code and answer. The leaderboard is still there the next morning without anybody logging in to find it.

How to read the MyWeddingBetting column: every fact in it comes from their own public marketing and pricing pages, and we filled in every one we could find, including the ones that do not flatter us. Where we could not find a public answer we wrote "Not stated publicly". That is not us saying they lack the feature. It means they do not say, and we will not guess on their behalf. Prices and features change, and these were checked in July 2026.
The short version: Both run in a browser with no app, and both are built to be a good game for the guests. The difference is the shape of the free tier, 3 whole events against 3 predictions, and typed answers against a list, where their $30 includes couple branding that we put on a paid tier.
Questions people ask
How is Guest Bets different from MyWeddingBetting?
Both are prediction games your guests play in a browser with no app, and both are built to be a good game for the guests. Guest Bets works for any occasion, the bachelor party, the bachelorette party, the rehearsal dinner, your most special day, and the baby shower after it, where MyWeddingBetting is built for weddings only. Our free tier is 3 whole events, where they list 3 predictions. And your guests can type a real answer with a two-character typo tolerance, where their guests pick from listed outcomes. It works the other way too: their $30 includes custom couple branding and a cover photo, where ours sits on a paid tier. The table above has the whole picture.
Is Guest Bets free?
Yes. Your first 3 events are free, with unlimited guests, a live leaderboard, scorekeeper links, invite tracking and nudges, and no credit card. For comparison, MyWeddingBetting lists a free tier of 3 predictions with unlimited guests and no credit card. If you want the premium features for one event, the Event Pass is $10 one time. Pro is $5 a month for unlimited events, a custom event URL, your own colours and a preview photo.
Do I have to install an app to use Guest Bets?
No, and neither does anybody else. You build and run your event in a browser, on a phone or a laptop, and your guests open a link or scan a QR code. There is nothing in an app store to download and nothing to delete afterwards. MyWeddingBetting describes a browser and QR code experience too.
Can somebody else enter the answers so I am not doing it at my own party?
Yes. Create up to 3 scorekeeper links and send them to whoever is helping. They open the link and enter the real answers as the night goes on. They need no account and see no guest details, the link only works after picks close, and you can revoke it at any time. It is free on every plan. MyWeddingBetting describes a similar handoff, with a private link for a DJ or coordinator.
Does Guest Bets work for weddings?
Yes. Write your own questions or copy a template, set a cutoff before the ceremony, then share one link or a QR code. Use multiple choice, free text and time questions together, add a time-based tiebreaker for a draw, and let a friend keep score while you get married. Then use the same account for the baby shower.
What do guests actually do?
They open your link or scan the QR code, type a name, and answer your questions before the cutoff: who catches the bouquet, what time the speeches start, how long the best man talks for. Picks lock at the cutoff. Then, as the real answers get entered, the live leaderboard re-ranks, and by the end of the night one guest has called the party better than everybody else and gets the bragging rights.
