You've narrowed it down to two platforms and now you're staring at two tabs trying to figure out which one is actually worth your money. Both WeddingSnap and GuestPix do the same core thing — let guests upload photos via QR code, no app required — and both have real weddings behind them. But they're not the same product.
This comparison is honest about where each wins. We obviously built WeddingSnap, so we have skin in the game — but the goal here is to help you pick the right tool, not to win an argument.
The short version: WeddingSnap is the better value at nearly half the price for equivalent functionality. GuestPix is the better choice if you want a live slideshow during your reception or need digital RSVP management built into the same platform. Everything else comes down to taste.
What Both Platforms Do Well
Before the differences: there's meaningful common ground between WeddingSnap and GuestPix, and any comparison should start here.
- No app required for guests — both use QR codes that open in a browser. No one has to download anything at your reception.
- Full-resolution downloads — you get the original quality photos, not compressed versions.
- One-time payment — neither platform charges a subscription. You pay once per event.
- Photo and video support — guests can submit both.
- Private album access — your gallery is locked to guests with your QR code or link.
Either platform will outperform a Google Photos shared album or an Instagram hashtag for guest photo collection. The question is which one fits your specific wedding better.

Where WeddingSnap Wins
Price — Significantly
WeddingSnap is $39.99 for a full one-year upload window and permanent photo download access. GuestPix's cheapest plan (Classic, $49) gives you only a 3-month upload window — meaning guests can't submit photos more than 90 days after the event. To get a comparable 12-month upload window on GuestPix, you need the Signature plan at $89.
That's $39.99 vs $89 for equivalent core functionality. WeddingSnap is roughly half the price.
If you're managing a tight wedding budget — and most couples are, even ones who don't think they are — this difference is meaningful. For a full breakdown of options, our comparison of the best wedding photo sharing apps in 2026 covers the broader market.
Voice Messages
WeddingSnap lets guests record and upload voice messages alongside their photos — an audio guestbook feature built into the same QR code flow. GuestPix's guestbook feature is video-based, not audio.
Voice messages are lower-friction than video: guests don't need to look camera-ready, they don't need good lighting, and they can say something meaningful in 20 seconds without performing for a lens. At a wedding, that matters — you'll get more of them, and the ones you get will be more genuine.
Auto-Generated Video Recap
After your wedding, WeddingSnap automatically generates a short video recap from your guest uploads — a polaroid film-grain style compilation of the photos from your event. GuestPix doesn't have this feature.
It's not the most critical factor in choosing a platform, but it's a genuinely nice thing to receive a few days after your wedding without having to do anything.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
WeddingSnap offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. GuestPix doesn't publish one. For a pre-wedding purchase where you won't know if the platform performed well until after the event, having a stated guarantee matters.
Where GuestPix Wins
Live Slideshow During the Reception
GuestPix's Signature plan includes a live slideshow feature that displays guest photo uploads on a screen in real time during the reception. If you have a projector or display screen at your venue, this is a genuine crowd-pleaser — guests take photos, and those photos appear on the big screen a few minutes later.
WeddingSnap doesn't have this feature. If a live display is important to you, GuestPix is the better choice, even at the higher price point.
Digital Invitations and RSVP
GuestPix Signature includes digital invitation and RSVP functionality. If you want a single platform handling your invites, guest list, and photo collection, GuestPix is closer to that all-in-one experience. WeddingSnap is focused specifically on photo and voice collection — it doesn't manage your guest list.
Multi-Lingual Support
GuestPix supports 10+ languages, which matters for international weddings or families where guests primarily speak languages other than English. WeddingSnap is English-only. If you have a substantial number of guests who aren't comfortable in English, GuestPix has a meaningful edge.
Social Features Within the Gallery
GuestPix lets guests like and comment on photos within the album — essentially a private social feed for your wedding. Some couples love this; others find it unnecessary. WeddingSnap keeps the gallery experience simpler, focused on collection rather than interaction.
The Honest Bottom Line
For the majority of couples, WeddingSnap delivers equivalent core functionality — unlimited photos and videos, QR upload, no app for guests, one-year access — at roughly half the price of GuestPix Signature.
There are two scenarios where GuestPix is the better call:
- You want a live photo slideshow displayed at your reception venue in real time
- You want invitations + RSVP + photo collection all in one platform
If neither of those is a priority — if you just want the best way to collect every guest photo and voice memory without overpaying — WeddingSnap is the cleaner choice at a better price.
The question isn't which platform looks more polished in a feature list. It's which one will actually get you 400+ guest photos from your wedding. Both will, if you place your QR signs well and brief your MC. For guidance on that, the complete guide to collecting wedding photos from guests covers the strategy that makes any platform work.
And if you're still comparing options beyond these two, our full 2026 wedding photo sharing app comparison covers the broader market — Wedibox, GuestCam, WedUploader, and more — so you can feel confident in whatever you choose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is WeddingSnap cheaper than GuestPix?
Yes. WeddingSnap is $39.99 for a single event with a one-year upload window. GuestPix's comparable Signature plan (12-month upload window) is $89. For the same core functionality, WeddingSnap is roughly half the price. GuestPix Classic at $49 only has a 3-month upload window, making it a weaker comparison even at the closer price point.
Does GuestPix support video uploads?
Yes — GuestPix's current plans include unlimited photo and video uploads. Both WeddingSnap and GuestPix support guest video submissions. If you've read otherwise elsewhere, that information is outdated.
Do guests need to download an app for GuestPix or WeddingSnap?
Neither platform requires a guest app download. Both use QR codes that open directly in the guest's browser for instant uploading — no account creation, no app store, no friction.
Does GuestPix have a live slideshow?
Yes — GuestPix's Signature plan includes a live slideshow feature that displays guest photo uploads on a screen in real time during the reception. WeddingSnap focuses on post-event collection and doesn't have a live display feature. If a real-time slideshow is important to your reception experience, GuestPix is the better choice despite the higher price.
Which is better for a budget wedding?
WeddingSnap at $39.99 is the better choice. GuestPix Classic at $49 is slightly more expensive and limits uploads to 3 months post-wedding. WeddingSnap's one-year window at $39.99 means guests can still submit photos weeks after the event, and you're not paying a premium for it.
