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.
Kululu has three plans, all with unlimited guests and its Live Photo Wall slideshow. Free takes up to 100 photo and video uploads during a 24-hour upload window, keeps them for 7 days and saves them in standard quality. Plus is $39 one-time: up to 500 uploads, a one-month upload window, uploads kept for 3 months in original quality, custom branding and a one-click album download. Pro is $99 one-time: unlimited uploads, a three-month upload window, uploads kept for a year, full brand control, a custom event address, manual moderation with an automatic content filter, and welcome forms that collect guest details. Kululu’s prices exclude taxes, and it offers a money-back guarantee if you end up not using it at your event.
When Kululu is the better choice
- Your gathering is small and you want to pay nothing. Kululu Free covers up to 100 uploads in a 24-hour window, kept for a week.
- You want the photos online for a year without doing anything. Kululu Pro keeps uploads for a year, Plus for three months.
- The album should carry your brand. Plus adds custom branding; Pro adds full brand control and its own event address.
- You run a public event. Pro adds manual moderation and an automatic content filter, and Kululu offers a person to moderate for you on request.
- You need guest details. Pro’s welcome forms collect information from guests as they join.
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 $39 for Kululu Plus and $99 for Pro.
- You expect a lot of photos. Standard’s 10 GB holds about 3,500 photos for $19.99; Kululu Plus stops at 500 uploads.
- You want guests to find themselves. AI face search is included: a guest takes a selfie and sees every photo they are in.
- 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 on the screen, the album opens in the phone’s browser, and they upload photos and videos without installing anything. Kululu lets guests add a caption to each photo. 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 event
Kululu’s paid plans include a one-click album download, and the photos stay online for 3 months on Plus or a year on Pro (a week on Free). 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.
