Price
Picsylo has two one-time plans. Mini is $9.99: 2 GB, a 7-day album, unlimited guests and AI face search, made for small dinners and parties. Standard is $19.99: 10 GB, a 30-day album, the live slideshow, Google Drive export, disposable camera mode and co-hosts. Extra storage is $1 per 10 GB if you need it.
GuestPix sells three one-time wedding packages and lists a starting price of $49, with no auto-renewal. Classic has a 3-month upload window and 12 months of hosting. Signature keeps uploads open and the gallery hosted for 12 months and adds custom theme colours and fonts. The Signature Bundle gives three separate event galleries, hosted for 24 months. GuestPix shows the exact price of each package by currency on its site.
When GuestPix is the better choice
- You want the album online for a year without doing anything. GuestPix hosts it for 12 months, or 24 on the bundle.
- You want a guestbook. GuestPix includes written and video messages; Picsylo has no guestbook.
- You want invitations and RSVPs in the same tool. GuestPix includes a digital invitation with RSVP.
- Your event is tiny. GuestPix’s free tier covers up to 50 photos.
- You want to restyle the gallery. The Signature package adds custom theme colours and fonts.
When Picsylo is the better choice
- You want to pay less. $19.99 for the full Standard plan, or $9.99 for a small event, against a starting price of $49.
- You want guests to find themselves. AI face search is included: a guest takes a selfie and sees every photo they are in, out of hundreds.
- You want the photos in Google Drive. Standard exports the whole album to your Drive in one click, in original quality.
- You like the disposable camera idea. Standard can hide photos until a reveal time you choose.
How guests add photos
It works the same way on both: guests scan the QR code on a table card or sign, the album opens in Safari or Chrome, and they upload photos and videos straight from the phone. Neither needs an app or an account. On Picsylo, photos and videos are kept in original quality, and location data is removed from photos before they upload.
Keeping the photos after the wedding
With GuestPix you download a full-resolution ZIP while the gallery is hosted, and you can renew the hosting at a discount after the first year. With Picsylo you download everything as one ZIP or export it to Google Drive. After the album closes you still have 3 days to download, and a Standard album can be extended by six months or a year if you want it online longer.
