What to look for when comparing

Price and storage belong together: some periods start on the event day, others at creation or only from the tenth photo.
“Unlimited” often covers photos only. Videos cost extra or are limited in length and number.
Free tiers limit photos, guests or storage time, or lock individual pictures.
If you want to see what appears in the gallery first, you need approval before display, not just a delete button.

When the Fotospiel App is a good fit

When you want to decide which photos appear in the gallery and live slideshow, with help from your best man, maid of honour or planner.
When a rented photo booth should send its pictures straight into the same gallery.
When you need table cards and signs in your own layout as a print-ready PDF.
When the celebration spans several days or guests should play along with photo tasks.
When guests should upload their photos in full resolution: Classic and Premium keep them unchanged.
When EU hosting and a fixed one-time payment matter to you.

When another provider fits better

When it must be free: the free tiers of pidero, InvitePix or Wedbox, or a shared Google Photos album.
When you like the disposable camera effect: Lense limits captures per guest and reveals the photos later.
When you expect many long videos: packages with unlimited videos are more generous here.

Frequently asked questions

Which wedding photo app is free?

None without limits. pidero is free to use but locks every fifth photo until it is unlocked. InvitePix allows 50 photos, Lense 7 guests, weddies 30 photos for one month and Wedbox stores for two months free. The Fotospiel App has no free tier, but you can try it in the demo.

Do guests need to install an app for wedding photos?

With all seven providers in this comparison, guests can upload in the browser without an app according to the providers, usually after scanning a QR code. Some ask for a name or an album password.

Which app stores photos in original quality?

weddies (Premium album), InvitePix and Guestlense state original quality or full resolution, and Lense stores the original files according to its privacy policy. The Fotospiel App keeps photos in full resolution in the Classic and Premium packages (up to 25 MB per photo). In the Starter package they are resized to at most 2,560 pixels on upload so uploads work even on weak networks. That is usually enough for the gallery, slideshow and photo book, but not always for large prints.

Can you connect a photo booth to the wedding photo app?

With the Fotospiel App, yes: Photobooth Connect transfers the pictures from a photo booth on Windows, macOS or Linux into the same gallery automatically. weddies, Guestlense and Wedbox offer a photo booth mode in their app that turns a phone or tablet into a booth. We did not find a connection for external photo booths with the other providers.

Where are the wedding photos stored?

weddies, pidero and Lense name servers in Germany, and the Fotospiel App hosts in the EU. InvitePix processes data mainly in the USA. Guestlense and Wedbox do not state a storage location on the pages we checked.

How up to date is this comparison?
