Free Event

Free test event. Visible pricing card lists 20 digital invites, 50 photos, unlimited guests, 7-day upload/gallery access, no bulk download, basic moderation, stories, no full-HD images, and Fotify branding. Fotify JSON-LD and embedded public pricing catalog instead say the free event manages up to 20 guests, so guest capacity is treated as conflicting public data rather than a settled claim.

  • xVideo uploads are only listed on Premium Event, not the free or Photo Gallery plans
  • xIt is broader and more complex than a simple wedding photo gallery if you only need QR uploads and downloads

Honcho has been the most exciting addition to our offering this year. Being able to make photos available instantly has been a huge hit with our clients. The built-in stats clearly show the uptake—and at awards events, it’s massive. People get their photos straight away, and they love it.

After years of searching, I finally found the perfect way to share my marathon photos. I’m especially loving the notifications feature that lets participants know when new photos of them are found with face recognition.

Santiago Palacios

Using Honcho has been a game-changer for us. It allowed us to introduce face recognition into our workflow and has been especially valuable during large sporting events, where it's nearly impossible for participants to browse through hundreds of photos. With Honcho, they can quickly find their pictures with a simple selfie.

Lauren Giuliani
Apple App Store reviewer, 27 Sep 2025
No rating

A public App Store review complains that deleting uploaded photos required deleting each photo one by one and asks for clearer auto-publish settings. This is included as review context, not as an aggregate verdict.

How to evaluate Our Event Album vs Fotify vs Honcho

Searches for Our Event Album vs Fotify vs Honcho, Fotify vs Honcho alternative, and Fotify vs Honcho alternatives usually come from people who already know the category but are unsure which tool fits their event. The useful comparison is not a feature count. It is whether guests can contribute without friction and whether the host can keep, download, and share the final album easily.

A strong alternative should reduce guest steps, avoid surprise limits, and leave the host with one complete photo collection after the event.

What to compare before switching

  • Check whether the tool you choose for apps like Fotify vs Honcho lets guests upload from a browser instead of requiring a mobile app.
  • Compare what is included at the base price: QR code, hosting time, downloads, video support, and printable signage.
  • Look for privacy controls when evaluating wedding photo app comparison, especially for weddings, schools, memorials, and workplace events.
  • Read the setup flow, not just the marketing page. The best alternative is the one a host can launch without support.
