Frequently asked questions
Is Our Event Album better than The Guest?
For a new event, yes. The Guest is no longer a current purchasable option, while Our Event Album is actively supported and built around QR-code uploads with no guest app download.
How much does Our Event Album cost compared to The Guest?
Our Event Album is {{ourPrice}} one-time. The Guest does not have current 2026 pricing; historical mirrors list the app as free, with AppAdvice showing old $99.99 and $169.99 in-app event add-ons.
Can I switch from The Guest to Our Event Album?
For a new gallery, yes. Create an Our Event Album event, share the QR code or link, and guests can upload from their browser. If you had old The Guest content, check your backups because the product is no longer active.
Do guests need to download an app to use Our Event Album?
No. Guests scan a QR code and upload from their browser. The historical The Guest flow was app-led, which is one reason we would not position it as a modern replacement.
Why did The Guest shut down?
We are not claiming a specific shutdown reason. The public evidence we verified is narrower: AppBrain lists the app as removed from Google Play on December 20, 2023, and the old domain no longer resolves.
