For collecting every original
Eventoly alternative: same price, different features
Eventoly and Pix Wedding both charge $49, $59 or $89, once. So price will not decide this. Pick Eventoly for co-hosts on the cheapest plan and a wedding website with RSVP. Pick Pix Wedding for film roll mode, your photographer in the same album and AI selfie search.

When Eventoly is the better pick
At the same price, Eventoly gives you more on the hosting side. If any of these six is the reason you looked at Eventoly, it is probably the right call.
Co-hosts on the cheapest plan
Eventoly lists multiple admins and priority support on every paid plan, Starter included. On Pix Wedding both come with Pro at $89.
A wedding website in the same link
Eventoly Pro adds a wedding website (love story, schedule, travel, registry, FAQs), RSVP with meal choices, plus-ones and dietary needs, and a find my seat page. Pix Wedding does not bundle these into a plan.
Approve uploads before they show
Eventoly offers Approve Uploads on every plan and a setting that lets guests delete their own uploads. On Pix Wedding the host removes photos after they are uploaded.
More ways to dress the upload page
Themes and layouts on every plan, Canva QR designs, an upload page in 9 languages, and a Slot Machine upload page on Pro.
A printable guestbook
From Standard, guestbook notes and voice messages can be exported as a printable book.
Priority support from $49
If you want a faster line to support without paying for the top plan, Eventoly includes it from Starter.
Eventoly's own site states 30,000+ events and a 4.9 out of 5 rating. Those are its figures; we have not checked them. Reviews are covered on our full Eventoly comparison.
Same scan, same price.
Here is the Pix album.

Eventoly's own 20-second clip
Fair is fair: here is how Eventoly shows its QR wedding album in its own words. Watch the two back to back and you will see why the guest side will not decide this.
Both services work the same way for guests: scan, pick photos, upload. The differences start after the upload, in who manages the album, what the reception games look like and how long the album stays online.
The clip is from late 2024. Eventoly's plans have changed since (the Starter guestbook went in September 2026), so go by the plan details on this page, checked October 18, 2026.

What each tier switches on
The price and the length of each window are identical on every tier. One small difference is when the clock starts: Eventoly counts from the event date, Pix Wedding counts storage from the day you create the album. Past that, the useful question is what you get for the same $49, $59 or $89 on each side.
- Film roll mode: a set number of shots per guest with a delayed reveal
- An extra year online for $9 when storage runs out
- Multiple admins and priority support
- Likes, guest name tracking, upload page themes
- Canva QR designs
Eventoly removed the guestbook from Starter for purchases after September 23, 2026. Neither Starter has a guestbook now.
- Photographer upload link into its own album
- Photo missions with a slideshow leaderboard
- Photo bingo
- Guestbook exportable as a printable book
- Keeps co-admins and priority support from Starter
This is the tier most couples pick on both sites, and the one where the two products differ least.
- AI selfie search: a guest takes a selfie and sees the photos they appear in
- Your own custom domain
- Wedding website, RSVP and find my seat
- Custom event link on eventoly.com
- Slot Machine upload page
Two different ideas of a top plan: Pix spends it on the photos, Eventoly on the rest of the wedding admin.
The same three prices, paid once
Try 20 guest uploads free. Every paid plan is one payment with unlimited guests, photos and videos. Eventoly charges the same $49, $59 and $89.

The fine print around $49, $59 and $89
The headline prices match. These are the details on Eventoly's pricing and help pages that change what the money buys.
| Question | Eventoly | Pix Wedding |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | $49, $59 or $89, once per event. "No subscription and nothing renews." | $49, $59 or $89, once per event. No subscription. |
| Crossed-out prices | Shown next to each plan: $69, $89 and $129. You pay $49, $59 or $89. | The amount you pay is $49, $59 or $89. |
| Before you pay | Free trial, no card: up to 20 photos and videos in total, 1 month to upload and 1 month of storage, every feature unlocked. | Free tier, no card: 20 guest uploads on a real album. Upgrade any time before or during the wedding. |
| When the clock starts | Upload and storage windows count from the event date, so buying early costs no time. | Storage counts from the day you create the album, so setting it up months early uses up time. |
| When storage ends | Content is permanently deleted. We found no paid extension on the site. | Pix warns you, then deletes. Or add a year online for $9 one-time, as many times as you need. |
| Currencies | USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD, CAD, TRY, JPY and CHF. | Local prices for euro and pound visitors (for example €45, €55 and €82). |

Two refund rules, side by side
Both promise your money back when the album goes unused. The wording differs in two places that matter: your own test uploads, and the deadline.
- Full refund if no guest uploaded anything, asked within 30 days after the event date
- Your own test uploads do not count against you
- Also refunded if you cancel before the event with no guest uploads, or if a fault on our side blocked uploads
- Email [email protected], reply within 1 business day, money back in 5 to 10 business days
- Refund if you ended up not using Eventoly for your event
- And no media was uploaded to the album, by you or your guests
- No time window stated; refunds may not apply after the event date if you used the gallery
- Email [email protected], up to 10 business days to appear; no refund once a chargeback is lodged
What it means in practice: on Eventoly, uploading a few test photos yourself can take you out of the refund. On Pix Wedding you can test freely, but you need to ask within 30 days after the wedding. Eventoly names no deadline, though it may not refund after the event date if the gallery was used.

First dance
You guys!!
Same price. Try it with your guests first.
Pix Wedding is free for the first 20 guest uploads, no card and no 1 month limit. If it suits you, pay $49, $59 or $89 once, the same as Eventoly.

Switching in six steps
If you are in the trial or already paid, do these in order. The first step matters most, because Eventoly's refund depends on the album staying empty.
- 1
Check your refund position before anyone uploads
Eventoly refunds when the album was never used and nothing was uploaded, including by you. If you paid and are about to switch, ask [email protected] first and keep the album empty until you hear back.
- 2
Download the ZIP if photos are already in
Eventoly lists a ZIP download for admins on every paid plan. Save it somewhere you control before the storage window runs out, because content is deleted when it ends.
- 3
Set up Pix Wedding on the free tier
Create the event with your names and date. The free tier takes 20 guest uploads with no card, so you can test it with friends before paying.
- 4
Pick the same tier you had
Prices and window lengths match tier for tier, so a Standard couple on Eventoly is a Standard couple on Pix. Only move up if you need a feature from the walk above.
- 5
Reprint the QR code
The QR code changes when you switch. Swap any printed table cards or signs. Pix paid plans include 48 QR poster designs, and the free QR Sticker Designer exports print-ready cards.
- 6
Tell co-hosts who will manage the album
If you relied on Eventoly co-admins, note that Pix Wedding adds extra admins on Pro. On Starter and Standard, one person runs the album.
If you remember three things
$49, $59 and $89 once on both, with matching upload and storage window lengths.
Film roll mode, photographer link, missions, bingo and AI selfie search.
Co-admins from $49, approvals, and a wedding website with RSVP on Pro.
On both, the album is deleted when storage ends, so download the ZIP well before. Pix Wedding lets you add a year online for $9 if you need more time.
What we did not compare: speed, support quality and app reliability on your venue's Wi-Fi. Use the free tier or the trial to test those with your own phones.
Eventoly pricing in one paragraph
Eventoly sells three one-time plans per event: Starter $49, Standard $59 and Pro $89, each with a free trial first. Starter gives 3 months to upload and 6 months of storage, Standard 6 months and 1 year, Pro 1 year and 2 years, all counted from the event date. Checked on eventoly.com on October 18, 2026.
Why an Eventoly alternative at the same price
When two services cost the same, the choice comes down to what each tier switches on. Pix Wedding puts its budget into the photos and the reception: film roll mode, a photographer link, missions, bingo and AI selfie search. Eventoly puts it into hosting: co-admins and priority support from $49, approval before uploads show, and a wedding website with RSVP on Pro.
- Same price and window lengths on both
- Pix Wedding: free tier without a 1 month limit, +1 year storage for $9
- Eventoly: co-admins on every plan, website and RSVP on Pro

Eventoly alternative FAQ
Straight answers to the questions people ask most about this topic.
Eventoly charges once per event: Starter $49, Standard $59 and Pro $89, with crossed-out prices of $69, $89 and $129 shown next to them. Its site says there is no subscription and nothing renews. Pix Wedding charges the same $49, $59 and $89 once. Checked October 18, 2026.
Pix Wedding costs exactly the same and matches Eventoly's window lengths tier for tier. Pick it for film roll mode, a photographer upload link, photo missions and AI selfie search. Stay with Eventoly if you want co-admins on the $49 plan or a wedding website with RSVP on Pro.
Eventoly's trial allows up to 20 photos and videos in total, with a 1 month upload window and 1 month of storage, and every feature unlocked. Pix Wedding's free tier allows 20 guest uploads with no card and no 1 month limit, on the real album you can upgrade later.
Eventoly refunds if you did not use it for your event and no media was uploaded to the album by you or your guests. It may not refund after the event date if you used the gallery, and not at all once a chargeback is lodged. Ask [email protected] before anything is uploaded.
Download the ZIP from your Eventoly admin area first, since Eventoly deletes content when storage ends. Then create your Pix Wedding event and print the new QR code. The old code will not point to the new album.
The lengths match: 3 months to upload on Starter, 6 on Standard and 1 year on Pro, with 6 months, 1 year and 2 years of storage. Eventoly counts from the event date. Pix Wedding counts storage from the day you create the album, and sells an extra year online for $9.
