Wedding photo sharing apps, compared
Most wedding photo-sharing services look alike on their home pages: scan a QR code, upload, done. They differ in the details that matter on the day: whether guests need an app, how much the free plan really holds, whether videos are included, how long the photos stay online, and whether you pay once or by the number of guests.
A note before you read: we make Some Days Stay, one of the services below. We’ve described every service from its own pricing and help pages (linked under each one) as they were on October 29, 2026. Prices are in US dollars and change often, so check before you buy.
The short answer
Almost every service here lets guests upload from the phone’s browser without an app or an account, so that’s no longer the deciding factor. Look at three things instead: what the free plan keeps and for how long, whether videos cost extra, and how the price is worked out. Pay-once services cost between $29 and $99 for one wedding. Disposable camera apps charge by the number of guests, which is cheap for a small wedding and adds up for a large one.

What each one is good for
Some Days Stay This is ours.
Good for
Videos are included on every plan, even the free one, and originals are kept. Every plan also has a live slideshow and a one-click ZIP of everything. Paid plans are one price per wedding, however many guests you have.
Watch out
The free plan holds only 30 photos and videos, so most weddings will need to upgrade. We don’t do extras like an audio guestbook, a wedding website or face search, and we’re a small, new service.

Guestpix
Good for
Lots of extras in one place: written and video guestbook, RSVPs, invitations and Canva templates, with photos saved in original quality. It also shows prices in AUD, GBP, CAD and EUR.
Watch out
The free plan doesn’t take videos, and free galleries are deleted 90 days after the event unless you upgrade.

Kululu
Good for
Its live photo wall is on every plan, including the free one, and the free plan takes 100 uploads.
Watch out
On the free plan uploads are only open for 24 hours, kept for 7 days and slightly compressed, and “Download All” needs a paid plan.
Source: Kululu pricing.
Wedibox
Good for
An all-in-one option: audio guestbook, wedding website, and RSVPs and seating on the $79 plan.
Watch out
Its pricing page promises an original-quality ZIP, but its guest help page says photos over 4 MB are compressed before upload. If full resolution matters to you, ask them first.

GuestCam
Good for
Very large videos (up to 9.8 GB a file), no compression, a guest page in 17 languages, and a paid face-search add-on.
WedUploader
Good for
Everything goes straight into your own Google Drive, and the basic upload page is free with no expiry date.
Watch out
Your Drive’s free 15 GB fills up quickly with videos, and the photos share that space with everything else in your Drive.

POV and Lense Disposable camera apps
Good for
Each guest gets a camera with a set number of shots, and photos can stay hidden until a reveal you choose. Cheap for small weddings.
Watch out
They’re priced by the number of guests, video is limited or an extra, and the couple sets things up in an app. We compare them with QR galleries in disposable camera apps vs a QR code gallery.

How much should you pay?
For a typical wedding of 100 to 150 guests, expect to pay once, somewhere between $29 and $99, for a QR code gallery that holds everything. Disposable camera apps cost about $35 for 100 guests and $70 to $90 for 250 guests, before add-ons like video or unlimited shots. Nothing on this list charges a monthly subscription for a wedding.
If you only expect a handful of photos, a free plan can be enough. Just check when it deletes them: some free plans keep photos for a week, some until 90 days after the event.
Before you choose, check five things
- Open the demo on your own phone, signed out of everything, and upload a photo and a short video the way a guest would.
- Find out when photos are deleted on the plan you’re choosing, and set a reminder to download them before then.
- Check whether videos are included and how big they can be. Speeches and first dances are usually videos.
- Make sure you can download everything at once, at full resolution.
- Work out the price for your guest count and your expected number of photos, plus tax.
