GuestPix alternative for guest photos: Album QR
GuestPix and Album QR solve the same problem: guests scan a QR code and upload their photos in the browser without installing anything. The differences are in the price tiers, how long guests can upload, how long the gallery is hosted, where the photos end up and which extras (invitations, RSVPs, video guestbook) come with the package. Below is a side-by-side comparison based on GuestPix's own pricing pages and FAQ.

What is GuestPix?
GuestPix describes itself as a private QR code photo sharing and digital guestbook platform. Guests scan a QR code or open a private link in the browser, with no app and no registration. Wedding packages are one-time payments: Classic ($49 / €39) with a 3-month upload window and 12 months of hosting, Signature ($89 / €79) with 12 months of upload and hosting, and Signature Bundle ($119 / €99) with three galleries and 24 months. Paid packages include unlimited photos and videos (fair use, up to 1 000 guests per event), a written and video guestbook, a digital invitation with RSVPs and content moderation. The free plan allows 50 uploads and a 30-day upload window, and the gallery is deleted after 90 days. Photos are downloaded as a single ZIP file in full resolution, and hosting can be renewed at a discounted rate.

GuestPix vs Kululu vs Album QR
All three let guests upload from the phone browser after a QR scan, with no app. They differ in what the price buys. GuestPix starts at $49 (€39) for a wedding with 12 months of hosting and adds invitations, RSVPs and a video guestbook. Kululu starts free (100 uploads within 24 hours) and charges $39 for Plus or $99 for Pro, with upload windows and storage tied to the plan. Album QR is one €39.90 package with unlimited photos and a 90-day gallery, extendable once to 180 days.
If you want a long-hosted gallery with videos and wedding invitations, GuestPix fits better. If you want to try a free tier for a small event, Kululu does. If you want unlimited photos, Foto Bingo and an optional copy on your own Google Drive at one price, Album QR does; it accepts photos only, not videos.
Choose GuestPix if
- You want a digital invitation with RSVP tracking and a video guestbook in the same tool.
- You want the gallery hosted for 12 months or longer, or several separate galleries with their own QR codes (Signature Bundle).
- You want to try a free plan first and 50 photos are enough.
Choose Album QR if
- You want an optional automatic copy of every photo on your own Google Drive, without a ZIP export step.
- You want one price with unlimited photos and no tier decisions.
- You want AI help sorting the results: best-photo selection and smart filters for a large guest list.
Frequently asked questions
Is GuestPix free?
GuestPix has a free plan with 50 uploads, a 30-day upload window and no video; the gallery is deleted after 90 days. Paid wedding packages start at $49 (€39), one-time. Album QR has no free plan; it is one package at €39.90 with unlimited photos. For guests both are free.
Is there a free GuestPix alternative?
Album QR is not a free alternative: it has no free plan. Guests upload for free, with no app and no account, and the organizer pays €39.90 once for unlimited photos and a 90-day gallery. If the budget is zero, the free plans are small: GuestPix's own free plan allows 50 uploads in a 30-day upload window, with no video and the gallery deleted after 90 days, and Kululu's free plan allows 100 uploads within 24 hours, kept for 7 days. A shared Google Photos album or Drive folder is another option that costs nothing for the album itself.
Do guests need an app with GuestPix or Album QR?
Neither. Both tools work in the phone browser after scanning a QR code, and neither asks guests to register.
Is Album QR cheaper than GuestPix?
The entry price is about the same: Album QR costs €39.90 one-time for unlimited photos, and GuestPix Classic is €39 ($49), also one-time, with Signature at €79 ($89). The difference is what the price covers: Album QR includes unlimited photos, AI sorting and an optional Google Drive copy in one package, while GuestPix adds invitations, RSVPs, a video guestbook and longer hosting on the higher tiers.
What happens to my photos after the event?
With Album QR the gallery stays online for 90 days, and if you connect Google Drive a copy of every photo is already on your Drive (larger photos are scaled down to at most 4096 px). With GuestPix the gallery is hosted for 12 months from the event date on most paid packages; you download a ZIP with everything and can renew hosting at a discounted rate.
Does Album QR have a guestbook or RSVP?
Album QR has a digital guestbook: guests write an entry with their name (up to 500 characters) in the browser, and others can reply. Guests can also comment and react on photos. Album QR has no video guestbook and does not send invitations or track RSVPs. If you want those in the same tool, GuestPix covers them.
Collect every guest photo with one QR code
No app, no login. Photos go to the album; optional Google Drive copy. One-time payment.
