Our Event Album vs Joy: Pricing, Photo Sharing & Features
Joy and Our Event Album solve different problems. Joy is a free wedding planning hub with website, RSVP, registry, invitations, apps, and Shared Albums. Our Event Album is a dedicated event photo-sharing product built around QR upload, video collection, live slideshow, and full-gallery downloads. The important correction: Joy Shared Albums do support link/QR guest uploads without a Joy account, so the comparison should focus on packaging and photo-specific limits rather than claiming Joy is app-required.

What Joy customers say
Frequently asked questions
Is Our Event Album better than Joy?
It depends on the job. Joy is better if you want a free wedding website, RSVP, guest list, registry, invitations, and shared albums in one planning hub. Our Event Album is more focused if the main job is QR-code photo and video collection, live slideshow, full-resolution downloads, and a simple event gallery.
How much does Our Event Album cost compared to Joy?
Joy’s current pricing page says its core product is $0/mo, with optional upgrades mentioned but not priced there. Our Event Album is $39 one-time in USD, with the event-photo workflow packaged directly rather than bundled into a broader wedding planning platform.
Do guests need an app for Joy photo uploads?
Not for Joy Shared Albums. Joy’s help center says guests can upload through a link or QR code without creating a Joy account. Joy also offers mobile apps for the wider planning product.
What is the main Joy limitation for photo sharing?
The clearest current limit is the Shared Albums help article saying each event includes up to 1,000 photos free of charge. Joy also lacks sourced claims for live slideshow/photo wall, NFC, face recognition, audio guestbook, and photo challenges in the checked sources.
