Compare →Eventoly and Kululu both collect guest photos through a QR code.
Compare →Eventoly and GuestCam both start at $49 one-time with unlimited uploads and no app.
Compare →Eventoly and Wedibox are close on core features: QR uploads with no app, unlimited photos, a live slideshow, an audio guestbook and ZIP downloads.
Compare →WedShoots is free but requires every guest to download the WedShoots app and join your album.
Compare →Joy is an all-in-one wedding website with free guest photo sharing, up to 1,000 photos per event.
Compare →Everyday tools
A Google Photos shared album is free and familiar, but contributors usually sign in with a Google account, everything counts against your 15 GB of Google storage, and there's no QR-first upload page, guestbook or approval step.
Compare →A shared Google Drive folder is a file dump, not a photo album: uploading usually requires a Google account, files count against your 15 GB free storage, and guests browse filenames rather than a gallery.
Compare →A WhatsApp group is easy to start, but it compresses photos (even in HD mode), mixes them with chat messages, means sharing phone numbers with the whole group, and leaves you to save files one by one.
Compare →Dropbox file requests let people upload without an account, but every file counts against your Dropbox quota (2 GB on the free Basic plan), guests can't see each other's photos, and there's no slideshow or guestbook.
Compare →FAQ
A QR code photo-sharing tool such as Eventoly. Guests scan one code and upload from the browser with no Google account, uploads don't use your personal storage, and you get a live slideshow, guestbook and upload approval.
Eventoly has a free plan for testing and one-time paid plans at $49, $59 and $89 per event, with unlimited photos and videos. Most dedicated competitors also charge once per event, at $49 to $119 depending on storage length and features.
Every page lists where the other option is better, links to its source, and shows the date we last checked. Anything we couldn't confirm on a competitor's site is marked 'Not listed', never 'No'.
Eventoly, GuestPix, GuestCam, Kululu, Wedibox and Joy's photo sharing all work in the browser. WedShoots and WhatsApp require an app.
Guests scan, upload from their browser, and every photo and video lands in one private album — no app, no login. Free to try, one-time payment, trusted at 30,000+ events.
