A Featured listing on The Knot and WeddingWire runs a reported $5,000 to $15,000 a year — committed on a twelve-month contract before you book a single wedding. And the two sites are the same company: you advertise on both through one brand, WeddingPro, part of The Knot Worldwide (TKWW). It publishes no rate card, so here's what vendors report by market, the terms you're agreeing to, and the public legal record, from a venue that advertised on it for years.
At a commonly reported $400 a month, a listing commits you to about $4,800 a year — before you book a single wedding. Step up to a Featured placement and it's $5,000 to $15,000 a year, on a twelve-month contract that renews on its own and can climb at every renewal.
There's no public rate card. What you'd pay depends entirely on your market, category and placement — these are the ranges third parties report.
The Knot and WeddingWire don't publish a rate card. These ranges are reported by vendors and independent industry guides in 2025–2026 and vary widely by market, category and placement — confirm current pricing with WeddingPro directly.
We ran a real wedding venue on WeddingPro for years — a listing across The Knot and WeddingWire in the Westchester, New York region. The contract we signed treats our own price as their confidential information, so we won't print the exact figure. But nothing stops us from telling you how the cost behaved:
The price is only half of it. These terms are quoted from The Knot Worldwide's own publicly-published Terms of Purchase — not from any private contract. Read them yourself.
In 2025 a proposed class action was filed against The Knot Worldwide by wedding vendors, alleging that the lead-generation packages they paid for delivered few, worthless, or fabricated leads. The claims are unproven, and the company denies them.
“The Knot Worldwide team does not, and has never, sent fake leads to vendors, under any circumstances.”
The allegations are unproven. The Knot Worldwide has called the claims "baseless" and reaffirmed its commitment to the wedding-professional community. Nothing here has been decided by a court.
It isn't only a private lawsuit. The company has drawn federal scrutiny.
These are allegations relayed by a senator and denied by the company. A regulator noting that conduct “can potentially” violate the law is not a finding that it did — no enforcement action has been announced. The Knot Worldwide's response: “We do not engage in fraudulent or deceptive business practices.”
A WeddingPro listing is rent on someone else's audience, on a twelve-month contract that renews itself and tends to get more expensive at each renewal. The model only works if the leads convert, which is exactly what a group of vendors is now disputing in court. Runshow takes the opposite approach: instead of buying more leads, it makes the inquiries you already get — from every source, in one inbox, answered instantly — actually turn into bookings.
There's no published rate card, and it varies enormously by market. Reported ranges run from about $50/month in smaller markets to $500–$1,200/month in major metros, and a Featured placement runs $5,000–$15,000 a year — money committed on a twelve-month contract before you book a single wedding, according to vendors and independent industry guides in 2025–2026. Confirm current pricing with WeddingPro directly, since the exact rate is quoted per business.
Yes. Both are owned by The Knot Worldwide (TKWW) — WeddingWire merged into the company in 2018 — and vendors advertise on them through a single brand, WeddingPro. You're not choosing between two sites: one WeddingPro listing places you on both, on one contract and one bill.
It's a twelve-month advertising commitment that renews automatically and can be raised at each renewal. The price is for placement and lead volume in your region, not for software you keep — when you stop paying, the listing and the leads stop.
Yes. In 2025 a proposed class action was filed in California by wedding vendors alleging the company sold lead-generation packages that delivered few, worthless, or fabricated leads. The Knot Worldwide denies the allegations, calling them "baseless," and states it has never sent fake leads. The claims are unproven and nothing has been decided by a court.
Sen. Chuck Grassley wrote to the FTC and SEC in March 2025 urging an investigation, after his office logged 184 vendor complaints. In February 2026, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson replied that the alleged conduct "can potentially violate" Section 5 of the FTC Act, which prohibits deceptive or unfair business practices. Ferguson did not confirm a formal investigation, and no enforcement action has been announced. The Knot Worldwide says it does not engage in fraudulent or deceptive practices.
