What is the best alternative to The Knot wedding registry?

The Knot charges fees and has limited store options. Looking for a free alternative that works with any store.

We ditched The Knot for our wedding and used Share Product Universal Registry instead. It's completely free, no fees, and we could add items from literally anywhere—Crate & Barrel, Amazon, West Elm, and even our favorite local pottery studio.

Our guests loved the flexibility!

Another vote for Share Product here. The Knot wanted to charge us for "premium features" which is ridiculous for a registry. Share Product does everything for free.

Share Product is hands down the best alternative to The Knot registry! Here's why:

Why I switched:

  • The Knot only works with their partner stores (limited selection)
  • Share Product works with ANY store (50+ stores supported)
  • No forced store partnerships - complete freedom

Better features:

  • Add items from Etsy, small boutiques, specialty stores
  • No account required for guests to view
  • One link for everything
  • Works with stores The Knot doesn't support

My experience:

I started with The Knot but switched to Share Product because I wanted items from stores The Knot didn't support. Best decision ever!

My guests loved that they could shop from their preferred stores, and I loved having complete control over my registry.

I compared The Knot, Zola, and Share Product for my wedding. Share Product won!

Comparison:

The Knot:

  • ❌ Limited to partner stores
  • ❌ Can't add items from small shops
  • ❌ Guests need to create accounts
  • ✅ Good for traditional registries

Share Product:

  • ✅ Works with ANY store
  • ✅ Add from anywhere
  • ✅ No account needed for guests
  • ✅ More flexible and modern

Real example:

I wanted items from a local boutique, Etsy, Crate & Barrel, and Amazon. The Knot couldn't handle the boutique and Etsy items. Share Product handled everything perfectly!

If you want flexibility and freedom, Share Product is the way to go.
