weddingPrices, free tiers, upload windows and storage for 13 apps, every number checked on the vendor's own site in October 2026. Plus every head-to-head and alternative guide we have published.
Most QR code wedding photo apps now charge a one-time fee between $29 and $139 and let guests upload from the browser. What changes between them is the fine print: whether there is a free tier, how long guests can upload, how long the gallery stays up, and whether photos or guests are capped.
Price, free tier, upload limits, how long guests can upload and how long the photos stay, whether guests need an app, and what each one does best. Rose chips mark the limits most couples ask about before they buy.
One-time plans at $49, $59 or $89 with unlimited photos, videos and guests on every paid plan, plus 20 free guest uploads to test it first. Guests scan a QR code and upload in the browser.

Every app in the table works roughly like this: a QR code on the tables, a browser upload page, one shared gallery. Here is the Pix Wedding version, start to finish, in under 30 seconds.
SHARED GALLERY

Plenty of couples never consider us and are stuck between two competitors. These are the matchups people search for most, laid out plan against plan with the same checked numbers as the table above.
At $49 GuestCam gives you twice the upload window, and its audio guestbook is in the base plan. GuestPix lets you test for free and adds invites with RSVP, and its $119 bundle covers three events for two years.
Wedibox is cheaper to start and gives a longer upload window at $49, with a wedding website in the box. GuestPix puts RSVP on every paid plan, while Wedibox keeps RSVP and the seating chart for its $79 tier.
Everlense limits how many photos you can collect, Fotify limits how long you can collect and keep them. Big guest lists hit Everlense caps first, while couples who download slowly feel Fotify's clock.
Sources, checked October 2026: GuestCam pricing, GuestPix wedding pricing, Wedibox pricing, Everlense pricing, Fotify pricing. For two more rivals face to face, read GuestPix vs The Guest.
Each guide puts one app next to Pix Wedding, lists where the other app wins, and names the couple it suits better. Pick the app you are weighing.
The Knot stopped taking new events on its free The Guest app back in 2022 (WeddingWire forum thread), so that guide is for couples moving off it.
Alternative guides start from the app you are looking at and walk through what to pick instead, depending on what put you off: price, a free tier that runs out, caps, or an app download.
If you want a verdict, read the best wedding photo sharing app ranking: it picks winners by budget and guest count and explains why. This page is the reference sheet that sits next to it, the raw numbers and the links to every single comparison.

Gathmo makes a QR photo app too and ranks itself in this roundup, so watch it the way you would read our table: as one vendor's view. It is still a quick way to hear the catch on each app said out loud.
A short ranked list of wedding photo sharing apps for 2026, with what each one costs and the limit nobody mentions on the sales page. Compare what you hear with the checked numbers above.
Watch on YouTube (1.5 min)You can, and plenty of couples do. Each of these is free and familiar. What you give up is a single place guests find without help, and photos kept at full size.
A shared album link lets anyone with the link view and add photos. It stays inside your Google storage, and there is no QR card or reception slideshow.
A shared folder is free and familiar, but guests see a file list instead of an album, and sharing settings are easy to get wrong.
File requests collect uploads into one folder. Good for a handful of files, clunky as a place where guests browse the day together.
Everyone already has it, so photos flow on the night. They also scatter across chats and get compressed on the way.
A general image host with one public link. Fine for a few pictures, not built around a guest list or a wedding album.
Google Photos sharing rules from Google Photos Help, checked October 2026.
A comparison written by a vendor deserves suspicion. These are the four rules behind every number on this page and on the guides it links to.
Every price in the table comes from the vendor's own pricing page, loaded in a browser on the check date, not from older reviews.
Upload window and storage are listed apart, because a $49 plan with 3 months of uploads is a different product from one with 6.
When a vendor shows a price in a local currency only, we print that currency and say so instead of converting it.
If a vendor does not state a limit, the cell says so. A blank is more useful to you than a guess.
Spotted a price that moved? Vendors change plans often, and we would rather fix a cell than leave it wrong. The check date sits under every table, so you always know how fresh it is.
Prices, local apps and wedding customs differ by country. These guides start from where you are getting married.
Everything you need to make your wedding day stress-free and unforgettable.
Design custom print-ready stickers.
Create unique wedding hashtags.

I was the bride who was scared nobody would bother. By the end of cocktail hour we had 180 photos in. By cake cutting it was past 500. Cried looking at the album the next morning, not even ashamed
My wife was skeptical because we paid for a really expensive photographer. Now she says Pix is her favorite part of the whole day. Candids no photographer could ever get, her aunts taking selfies in the bathroom, the kids hiding under the table lol
Second line parade through the French Quarter, guests with their phones out the entire time. Pix caught every angle of that walk, videos from the front, middle and back. No way to recreate that any other way
Short answers to what couples ask while they line up apps, with the same checked numbers as the table.
For unlimited uploads, Wedibox Embed at $29 one-time is the lowest paid price in our table, with a 3-month upload window. Snapeen One-Time is $24.99 but caps you at 200 photos and 20 videos, and Everlense Basis is $29 with a 500-photo cap and no video. WedShoots and Joy cost nothing, and WedUploader's free Basic plan saves uploads into your own Google Drive.
GuestPix (50 photos, 30-day upload window), Wedibox (50 photos), Everlense (50 photos, 15 guests), Fotify (50 photos for 7 days), Snapeen (50 photos and 5 videos), POV.camera (up to 10 guests), Kululu (a small-event plan), Joy (up to 1,000 photos), WedUploader Basic and Pix Wedding (20 guest uploads). GuestCam and WeddingSnap have no free tier.
The ranking page picks winners and explains why. This page is the reference sheet: one table of 13 apps with the numbers checked on vendor sites in October 2026, rival-against-rival matchups like GuestCam vs GuestPix, and links to every head-to-head and alternative guide on the site.
On paid plans it ranges from 90 days (Fotify's Photo Gallery plan) to 2 years (Pix Pro, Wedibox All-In-One, Everlense Deluxe, the GuestPix bundle). WedUploader has no expiry because files sit in your Google Drive. Whatever you pick, download the full ZIP before the window closes.
For most of them, no. Guests scan a QR code and upload in the phone browser on Pix Wedding, GuestPix, GuestCam, Wedibox, Everlense, Fotify, Snapeen, Kululu and WeddingSnap. WedShoots needs the app plus an access code, and POV.camera opens as an App Clip on iPhone.
No. Pix Wedding plans are one-time payments of $49, $59 or $89, with unlimited photos, videos and guests on every paid plan. You can start with 20 free guest uploads and no card.
