GuestPix vs EventPixel 2026: Which Wedding Photo App Fits?
GuestPix vs EventPixel, head to head: video vs face search, the free demo vs the free plan, and how GuestPix compares with Kululu and Wedibox. Re-checked 3 Nov 2026.
Short answer: choose GuestPix if guests must be able to upload video, or you want guests downloading full-resolution files themselves. Choose EventPixel if you want guests to find their own photos with a selfie, a wedding website in the same place, and a lower price: $19–$69 one-time against GuestPix's $49–$119. Both work in the browser with no app, and both are one-time payments with a 14-day refund window.
We build EventPixel, so read this as a competitor's comparison. Every GuestPix figure is taken from GuestPix's own pages and dated. For GuestPix's prices and fees alone, see GuestPix pricing, every fee verified. To compare more than two apps, see five GuestPix alternatives.
EventPixel vs GuestPix at a glance
GuestPix is the largest name in wedding guest photo sharing, so EventPixel vs GuestPix is the comparison most couples end up making before they buy. Both platforms do the same core job well: guests scan a QR code, upload photos from any browser, and never install an app or create an account. Both charge one-time fees rather than subscriptions. Both include RSVP-enabled digital invitations.
The differences are worth understanding before you pay. EventPixel costs less at every tier — $19, $39, and $69 against GuestPix's $49, $89, and $119 — and includes PixelFind AI face search from the $39 plan, a capability GuestPix does not offer at any price. EventPixel also builds you a complete wedding website and takes voice messages from guests, neither of which GuestPix does. GuestPix, in turn, accepts guest video uploads on paid plans, lets guests download full-resolution files themselves, and sells a three-event bundle that suits multi-day celebrations.
Every GuestPix figure in this article was first checked against guestpix.com on August 6, 2026, and re-checked on November 3, 2026 against the prices in its wedding page's structured data and its Classic checkout. Nothing changed between those dates. Both platforms change their packages from time to time, so confirm on the current pricing pages before you buy.
Pricing compared
| Plan | GuestPix | EventPixel |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Wedding Demo — 50 photos, 30-day window, no video | 100 photo uploads plus a full event website |
| Entry paid | GuestPix Classic — $49 | EventPixel Classic — $19 / ₹1,499 |
| Mid paid | Signature — $89 | Premier — $39 / ₹3,499 |
| Top paid | Signature Bundle — $119 (3 events) | Grand — $69 / ₹5,499 |
| AI face search | Not available at any price | Included from the $39 plan |
Read the entry tiers carefully, because the sticker price is not the whole story on either side. GuestPix's $49 Classic gives you a 3-month upload window and the default color theme only — matching your gallery to your wedding palette is a $10 add-on at checkout ("Classic Plus", still there on November 3, 2026), or you move up to the $89 Signature plan. EventPixel's $19 Classic plan includes every template and full styling, but not face search for guests; that starts at $39. The upload windows, hosting clocks and renewal terms for each GuestPix tier are in our GuestPix pricing breakdown.
GuestPix free demo vs EventPixel free plan
Both let you try before paying, but they are built for different jobs:
| GuestPix free demo | EventPixel Free | |
|---|---|---|
| Photos | 50 | 100 |
| Upload window | 30 days | 30 days after the event date |
| Guests can view the gallery | During the demo | 14 days after the event, then it locks; photos are kept for a year |
| Invitation and RSVP | Yes | Event website and basic RSVP |
| Live slideshow | Not stated for the demo | Yes |
| Card required | No | No |
GuestPix calls its free tier a demo, and it is one: 50 photos is enough to click through the guest flow, not to run a reception. EventPixel's Free plan can run a small real event, such as a dinner or an engagement party, but the gallery locks to guests 14 days after the event unless you upgrade. Either way, test the guest flow on your own phone before you print anything.
The question nobody asks until it's too late: what happens after 12 months?
Ask any couple two years after their wedding what they wish they had understood about their photo platform, and the answer is rarely about features. It is about where the photos went.
On GuestPix, hosting runs for 12 months from your event date on the Classic and Signature plans, and 24 months on the Signature Bundle counted from your purchase date. When that period ends, keeping the gallery online is a separate purchase. When we first verified this page (August 6, 2026), extensions were listed at $29 for Classic, $49 for Signature and $89 for the top tier, or $2.90 per month via their Memory Keeper option; by August 20 GuestPix's pricing pages state only that you can "renew at a discounted rate," with no figures published — check their site for current renewal pricing before you rely on it.
On EventPixel, the plan term is the term you bought — 1 year on Classic and Premier, 2 years on Grand — with original-quality ZIP export available throughout, so the full-resolution archive is in your hands well before anything lapses. Even on the free plan, photos are never deleted when the viewing window closes: the gallery locks after 14 days and the files stay in safekeeping for 12 months, unlocking instantly if you upgrade later.
Neither platform hosts your wedding forever, and neither should pretend to. The practical advice is identical whichever you choose: download the full-resolution archive within the first month and back it up in two places. The difference is whether you are reminded of that by a renewal invoice.
What GuestPix does genuinely well
A comparison that only lists a competitor's weaknesses is not worth reading. Here is where GuestPix is strong, and where it may be the better choice for your event.
- Guest video uploads on every paid tier. Guests can upload video as well as photos, with batches up to roughly 4 GB. EventPixel's guest uploads are photos only, so if capturing guest-shot video matters to you, this is a real and decisive difference.
- Guests can download too. Both the host and individual guests can pull full-resolution files, not compressed previews. Many platforms reserve downloads for the host.
- A three-event bundle. The $119 Signature Bundle covers three separate galleries with their own QR codes — useful for a welcome dinner, ceremony, and reception, or a multi-day celebration where you want the photos kept apart.
- RSVP-enabled digital invitations, even on the free demo. Attendance and dietary preferences flow into a live dashboard.
- A multilingual guest experience across ten or more languages, which matters for international guest lists.
- A 14-day money-back guarantee. EventPixel now has a comparable 14-day refund window, conditional on the event not having started and the plan not having been used.
- 180+ editable Canva QR sign templates, so the printed table signage is handled.
Where EventPixel goes further
PixelFind AI face search, included from $39
This is the single largest functional difference between the two platforms. On EventPixel, a guest takes one selfie in their browser and immediately sees every photo they appear in across the entire gallery — including shots taken by other guests they have never met. GuestPix has no face recognition feature on any tier.
At a 60-person dinner this is a nice convenience. At a 300- or 600-guest wedding it changes what the gallery is for. Nobody scrolls through two thousand photographs to find the four they are in. Without face search, most guests open the gallery once, scroll for a minute, and never return — which means the photos they would have downloaded, shared, and sent to the couple simply never surface.
A complete wedding website, not just a gallery
GuestPix gives you an invitation page and a photo gallery. EventPixel builds the whole hub: your story, the schedule, family introductions, registry links, travel details, and the gallery, across more than 22 template designs. If you would otherwise be paying for or building a wedding website separately, that is a real cost the comparison should include.
Voice messages from guests
EventPixel's audio guestbook is included on every paid plan. Guests record a short message straight from the browser — no rented phone handset, no equipment. GuestPix offers a written and video guestbook, but no voice recording at any price.
Design isn't an upsell
Every EventPixel paid plan includes all templates, colors, and fonts. On GuestPix, custom colors and fonts sit behind the $89 Signature tier or a $10 add-on at Classic checkout.
Built for very large guest lists
GuestPix's unlimited-guest language carries a fair-use footnote capping events at 1,000 guests. EventPixel is deliberately built and priced for large weddings — the 300 to 800 guest celebrations common in South Asian, Nigerian, and Middle Eastern communities, where face search stops being a convenience and becomes the reason the gallery works at all.

GuestPix vs Kululu vs Wedibox
If you are comparing GuestPix with the other names that come up most, here is where the three sit. EventPixel is included as the fourth column so the table is complete; skip it if you've already ruled us out.
| GuestPix | Kululu | Wedibox | EventPixel | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Demo: 50 photos, 30-day window | 100 uploads, 24-hour window, 7-day storage | 50 uploads | 100 photos, 30-day upload window |
| Paid plans (one-time, USD) | $49 / $89 / $119 | $39 / $99 | $29 / $49 / $79 | $19 / $39 / $69 |
| Hosting on paid plans | 12 months (24 on $119), then a paid renewal | 3 months ($39) or 1 year ($99) | At least 1 year (2 on $79) | 12 months (24 on $69) |
| Guest video | Yes | Yes | Check before buying | No, photos only |
| AI face search | No | Check before buying | Check before buying | Every guest from $39 |
GuestPix re-checked November 3, 2026; Kululu and Wedibox from their own pricing pages, October 3, 2026. "Check before buying" means we could not confirm it from their pricing pages. In short: GuestPix is the most established and the most expensive, Kululu's free tier is generous on photos but closes after 24 hours, and Wedibox is the cheapest way into a paid plan. Full head-to-heads: EventPixel vs Kululu and EventPixel vs Wedibox; all twelve apps ranked: best wedding photo sharing apps.
Which should you choose?
Choose GuestPix if guest video uploads are essential to how you want the day remembered, if you want guests downloading full-resolution files themselves, or if the three-gallery bundle fits a multi-day celebration.
Choose EventPixel if you want guests to find their own photos through AI face search rather than scrolling, if you want the wedding website, RSVP, invitations, and gallery in one place instead of stitched together, if your guest list runs past a few hundred people, or if you simply want the same one-time model at roughly half the price.
If you are still weighing the wider category, our guide to the wedding guest photo sharing platform covers what actually matters when comparing any of these tools, and how to collect photos from wedding guests covers the practical setup either way.
FAQ
Is EventPixel cheaper than GuestPix?
Yes, at every tier. EventPixel's paid plans are $19, $39, and $69 one-time (₹1,499, ₹3,499, and ₹5,499 in India) against GuestPix's $49, $89, and $119, re-checked on November 3, 2026. Both charge one-time fees, but GuestPix also sells gallery extensions after the hosting period ends, which EventPixel does not.
Does GuestPix have AI face search?
No. GuestPix has no face recognition or selfie-search feature on any plan as of November 2026. EventPixel includes PixelFind AI face search for every guest in its Premier ($39) and Grand ($69) plans, letting each guest find every photo they appear in from a single selfie.
Is there a GuestPix free trial?
GuestPix offers a free demo rather than a free plan: 50 photos, unlimited guests, a digital invitation with RSVP and a 30-day upload window, with no card required. It is meant for testing the guest flow. EventPixel's Free plan holds 100 photos with a 30-day upload window, and guests can view the gallery for 14 days after the event.
GuestPix or Kululu: which is better?
GuestPix costs more ($49–$119 against Kululu's $39 and $99) but hosts galleries for 12 months on every paid tier, while Kululu's $39 plan hosts for 3 months. Kululu's free tier allows 100 uploads but closes after 24 hours; GuestPix's demo allows 50 over 30 days. Both accept guest video. Prices: GuestPix November 3, Kululu October 3, 2026.
Does GuestPix include RSVP management?
Yes. Every paid GuestPix tier includes a digital invitation with RSVP collection covering attendance and dietary preferences, and the free demo includes it too. EventPixel also includes full RSVP management on every paid plan, plus a complete wedding website and animated invitations that GuestPix does not offer.
What happens to my photos after 12 months on each platform?
GuestPix galleries reach the end of their hosting period — 12 months on Classic and Signature, 24 on the Bundle — and stay online only if you buy an extension; as of August 20, 2026 GuestPix publishes no extension prices, saying only that you can renew "at a discounted rate." EventPixel runs the term you purchased, 1 to 2 years, with original-quality ZIP export available throughout, and free-tier photos are held in safekeeping for 12 months rather than deleted.
Can guests upload video to EventPixel?
Not currently. EventPixel's guest upload accepts photos, while GuestPix accepts both photos and video on its paid tiers. If guest-shot video is central to how you want your wedding documented, that is a genuine point in GuestPix's favour.
Do guests need an app for either platform?
No. Both EventPixel and GuestPix work entirely in the phone's browser. Guests scan a QR code or open a link and upload immediately, with no app installation, no account creation, and no password to remember.
Are these prices current?
All GuestPix prices in this article were verified against guestpix.com in US dollars on August 6, 2026 and re-checked on November 3, 2026, and all EventPixel prices reflect our published pricing on November 3, 2026. Packages change — check both pricing pages before purchasing.
