GuestPix
An Australian gallery with a lot of polish. The free plan lets any number of guests in and stops at 50 photos, with a 30 day window to add them. Paid plans are one time: $49 for one gallery and three months for guests to add things, $89 for custom colors, fonts and twelve months to add them, $119 for three galleries over two years. All of them take unlimited photos and videos, and include a written and video guestbook, moderation, a slideshow and RSVP.
Where it beats us: a free plan with no guest cap, a far longer window for guests to keep adding things, and wedding admin we do not do at all.
Who it suits. Couples who want a themed gallery, a video guestbook and RSVP in one place, and plan to collect photos for months afterwards. Their pricing →
Kululu
The cleanest site in the category, and a live photo wall on every plan including free. The free plan takes 50 photos or videos, runs for a day and keeps them for seven. Plus is $39 for 500, kept three months; Pro is $99 for unlimited, kept a year, with moderation. Both are shown as half off $79 and $199. Download all is on the paid plans only.
Where it beats us: a live wall on the free plan, and no guest count on any plan.
Who it suits. A short event that mostly wants photos on a screen tonight. A wedding that wants the album in a year needs Pro. Their pricing →
POV
A disposable camera for your wedding, and it is genuinely charming. You decide how many shots each guest gets and when the photos reveal, which can be the next morning. Pricing goes by guest count: free for 10, $4.99 for 25, $34.99 for 100, $89.99 for 250. Guests on an iPhone open it as an App Clip, so nothing stays installed. POV also sells a printed photobook.
Where it beats us: the disposable camera effect, which we do not have, and a much lower price for a small guest list. POV says its galleries stay live with no time limit.
Who it suits. Couples who love the idea of a limited roll and a reveal the morning after. Their pricing →
Wedibox
Photos, an audio guestbook and a wedding website under one code. The free plan takes 50 photos and no video. The $49 plan adds unlimited photos and videos, six months for guests to add them, an audio and video guestbook with no cutoff, a live slideshow and an original quality download, kept a year. The $79 plan adds RSVP, a seating chart and a registry, kept two years. There is a 14 day money back guarantee.
Where it beats us: guestbook messages with no length limit, and the wedding website and RSVP. It also has photo challenges on the free plan, so we are not the only hunt.
Who it suits. Couples who want the photos, the guestbook and the wedding admin from one company. Their pricing →
Get This Shot
This is us, so read it with that in mind. Guests scan one code and the album opens in their browser, with no app and no account. Every guest gets a short photo hunt, five shots at a time, and it is the thing the product is built around: it is why guests add to the album at all. They can also record a fifteen-second message that only you see. Full-size download is included on every plan, free included, and the paid plans are one time.
Where others beat us: we count guests and the other paid plans here mostly do not; a message is fifteen seconds, not unlimited; and there is no RSVP, website or printed book.
Who it suits. Couples who want guests to actually join in rather than be asked to, and who want everything at full size.
WedUploader
The free plan is the most generous here. Unlimited photos and videos in original quality, from unlimited guests, saved straight into your own Google Drive, with no expiry date. The only limit is your Drive storage. $59 once adds a shared gallery, a guestbook with voicemails, a live slideshow and custom colors.
Where it beats us: free, unlimited and kept in an account you already own.
Who it suits. Couples who already live in Google Drive and want the originals there without paying anything. Their pricing →
GuestCam
No free plan, but a live demo. $49 gets one gallery, unlimited guests, photos and videos, six months to add them, twelve months of storage and an audio guestbook. $97 adds six galleries with their own codes, themes, and a phone number guests can dial to leave a message. There is an AI face search add-on for $45. Downloads are original quality, in one zip.
Where it beats us: an audio guestbook people can phone from anywhere, and no guest count.
Who it suits. Couples who want a guestbook that far away relatives can call into. Their pricing →
Guestlense
A simple gallery with printing bundled in. $49 is unlimited photos, videos and guests, three months to add them and twelve months of access. $99 adds 30 printed QR cards shipped to you; $199 adds up to 50 printed instant photo style prints. Photos download at full resolution; videos are slightly compressed. Guests give a first and last name before they can see anything.
Where it beats us: the printed cards and prints arrive in the post.
Who it suits. Couples who want the cards printed for them and a few real prints at the end. Their pricing →
GuestSnap
One plan, $45, unlimited guests, photos and videos, a live slideshow and a full album download of the original files. Guests can add things for twelve months, and the gallery is kept eighteen months and then deleted. There is a free iPhone app for the couple to save straight to Photos.
Where it beats us: the cheapest flat, unlimited plan here, and the simplest.
Who it suits. Couples who want one price, no decisions, and the originals. Their pricing →
