Frequently asked questions
How much do wedding photo apps cost?
Prices range from free tiers (usually capped) through to $200+ for premium plans. Our Event Album sits at $39 with unlimited uploads, live slideshow, and comments and likes all included-no per-photo fees, no upsells at checkout.
Are free wedding photo apps worth it?
Free tiers can work, but most have photo caps, watermarks, or missing features like slideshows and moderation. A modest one-time payment usually delivers a much better gallery and a lot less stress on the day.
What features should I prioritize on a budget?
Prioritise QR code uploads (biggest lever on participation), truly unlimited uploads (no surprise caps), and no app requirement (easier for every age group). If the live slideshow is included, that's a big bonus.
