Most “free” CRMs are free for one user, a handful of contacts or fourteen days. For a wedding business that is a problem: by the time peak season starts, your data is locked in a tool you now have to pay for in dollars.
The three kinds of “free”
| Kind | What it usually means | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Free trial | Everything, for 7 to 30 days | Ends in the middle of the season |
| Freemium | Free forever, with limits | Limits on contacts, users or features you need later |
| Free with a marketplace | The CRM is free because the business earns elsewhere | Check what they earn from: commission on your bookings, or a flat membership |
What free plans usually leave out
- Payment schedules with advance and balance
- WhatsApp sharing of quotes
- Team members
- A mobile app (many are web only)
- GST on quotes and invoices
- Exporting your own data
Is a spreadsheet good enough?
A shared Google Sheet is a fine start for your first few weddings. It stops working when two people take bookings, when clients pay in instalments, or when you need to answer “is the 17th free?” in the middle of a shoot. Read wedding CRM vs Excel and WhatsApp for the five signs you have outgrown it.

Questions
Is Wedza CRM free?
Wedza Partner is free to download and list your business, Wedza takes 0% commission on bookings, and your first 90 days of membership are free.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. Sign up with your mobile number and start using the CRM straight away.
Is Google Sheets a good free wedding CRM?
It is better than a diary, but it cannot check dates while you quote, send a GST quote on WhatsApp or remind a client about a balance. Most vendors outgrow it in their first busy season.

Yes. You can use the CRM from the moment you sign up; KYC and listing can wait until you want customers to find you in the Wedza app.
