Event Camera vs Guestpix

What Guestpix is

Guestpix calls itself the original QR code photo sharing platform for events. Guests scan a QR code and upload photos and videos to a private gallery in their browser, with no app or account. There's no shot limit, and photos appear in the gallery as guests add them. It also offers a digital guestbook, and hosts can turn on approval so nothing appears until they've checked it.

So it's a different kind of product. Guestpix collects everything everyone shoots. Event Camera gives each guest a short roll, like a disposable camera, so people take the photos they mean to take and you have fewer to sort.

What it costs

Guestpix party prices by guest count (Guestpix's pricing pages show both $29 and $39 for the smallest tier):

Guests	Event Camera, you pay	Guestpix party plan
50	$30.40	$39 (up to 50)
100	$50.30	$49 (51 to 100)
250	$95.20	$89 (101 to 250)
500	$145.20	$119 (251 to 500)

Guestpix wedding packages are $49, $89 and $119. Event Camera counts you as a seat, so "100 guests" is 101 seats. Or set Event Camera to guests pay: each guest pays $1.99 and you pay nothing.

When Guestpix is the better pick

• You want every photo from every phone, with no limit on how many.
• You want guests to see the gallery fill up during the event.
• You want a digital guestbook, or a year or more of hosting.
• Your event is large: Guestpix's flat tiers cost less above about 100 guests.

When Event Camera is the better pick

• You want the disposable-camera feel: a short roll each, so guests take the photos they mean to take.
• You want to choose what goes in the album before anyone sees it, without approving uploads one by one during the event.
• Your guests are chipping in, or your event is 5 people or fewer (free).

Questions

Answers checked on October 23, 2026.

Is Guestpix a disposable camera app?

Not quite. Guestpix is a shared gallery: guests upload as many photos and videos as they like, and they show up in the gallery as they're taken. Event Camera gives each guest a limited roll, and nobody sees the shots until you send the album.

Which costs less?

For a party of 100 guests, Guestpix's party tier is $49 and Event Camera is $50.30 (100 guests plus you). Guestpix wedding plans start at $49. Event Camera can also be set so each guest pays $1.99 and you pay nothing.

Is there a free option?

Both have one. Guestpix's free gallery takes up to 50 photos with no video and stays open for 30 days. Event Camera is free for events of up to 5 people, you included, up to 3 a month.

How long are photos kept?

Guestpix hosts galleries for 12 months on most plans and 24 months on its top plans. Event Camera keeps photos for 90 days after the event, with reminders before anything is deleted.
