How to choose a wedding photo gallery?
Beneath the marketing, these solutions split along four concrete criteria. They are the backbone of each of our detailed comparisons:
- App or browser. Some solutions require every guest to install an app (WedShoots, for instance); the others run in the browser after a QR code scan. Every installation step loses contributors — especially the least tech-comfortable guests. It is the single criterion that weighs most on the final participation rate.
- Hosting and GDPR. Wedding photos are personal data. Server location (EU or US) and the clarity of the data policy vary widely from one solution to the next — several international players document neither their hosting nor their GDPR compliance. Photobooth and Invinee are the only two in the panel hosting natively in Europe.
- Pricing model. Four models exist: free funded by an ecosystem (WedShoots), one-time payment per event (Photobooth Soirée at €29, Invinee from €39 to €89, GuestPix at $49), lifetime licences (Wedibox, Kululu), and freemium with paid options. The right reflex: compute the cost for YOUR event, unlimited photos included, rather than comparing teaser prices.
- Visibility control. Who sees what? Most galleries are collective by default: any guest sees every photo. Photobooth starts in private mode (everyone only sees their own photos) with a reversible switch to shared mode — useful for bachelorette parties, surprises and corporate events, and rarely documented among competitors.
