GuestPix vs Wedibox
Both entry wedding packages cost $49, both skip the guest app, and both hand back a full-resolution ZIP. The split is time and bundling: Wedibox gives six months of uploads at $49 where GuestPix Classic gives three, and lets you set the activation date the clock starts from. GuestPix answers with a $89 Signature tier at twelve months, a 24-month three-gallery bundle, and a ZIP already foldered by guest name.

Side-by-side criteria
Every GuestPix and Wedibox figure below comes from each company's own pricing, product and FAQ pages on the date shown. Prices vary by currency and packages change, so confirm the final number at checkout.
| Criteria | GuestPix | Wedibox | Candid Cam |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | One-time payment per event with no recurring charge and no auto-renewal. The Classic wedding package is $49 and Signature is $89; Signature Bundle sits above them and covers three separate event galleries. A free plan collects up to 50 photos with unlimited guests. | One-time payment per event: Embed $29, Wedding $49 and All-In-One $79, plus a free tier capped at 50 guest photo uploads. Prices display in USD by default with a currency switcher, and Wedibox offers a full refund within 14 days of purchase. | One flat price per event, no subscription. You can build, test and scan your event free, then pay once to let real guests upload. Upgrade a tier mid-event and pay only the difference. |
| Upload window & access duration | Classic is a 3-month upload window with 12 months of hosting; Signature runs 12 months of upload and 12 months of hosting. Both clocks start at the event date, not the purchase date. Signature Bundle runs 24 months, but it is measured from the purchase date. The free plan gives 30 days. | Uploads run 3 months on Embed, 6 months on Wedding and 1 year on All-In-One. Wedibox runs two clocks and “both start on your activation date”, not the wedding date or the purchase date, so buying early does not burn the window. Storage is always the longer clock and varies by plan: 1 year on Wedding (1-year) and 2 years on All-in-One (1-year), per the help centre table. When storage ends the gallery is “archived, not deleted” — browsing pauses and you can bring it back online. | Guest uploads stay open for your whole event window, and there is no automatic deletion after a fixed period — media is removed when the host deletes it. |
| Storage & media limits | Unlimited high-resolution photos, videos and guestbook messages with unlimited guests, subject to the published fair-use limits: 1,000 guests and 200GB on Classic, 1,000 guests and 400GB on Signature. Album allowances are stated inconsistently — the Signature product page lists 5 Albums while the wedding pricing tile shows unlimited Super Albums as a limited-time offer. | Unlimited photos and videos on the paid plans and every guest can join — “No caps on the big day.” The free tier stops at 50 guest photo uploads. Wedibox does not publish a storage cap or guest ceiling. Uploads sort into albums such as Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and Reception, and the Wedding plan lists unlimited albums. | Tiers are sized by upload allowance, estimated from your expected guest count, and approved media can be arranged into unlimited curated albums. |
| Downloads | A single ZIP of every photo and video at original full resolution, sorted into folders by guest name so you can see who contributed what. On most paid packages you can download any time within 12 months of the event date, and guest download permissions are host-controlled. | “Original quality in and out. No compression when guests upload and none when you download.” Everything is downloadable as a ZIP after the event ends, at any point during the storage period. Full-quality downloads are listed from the $29 Embed plan up. | Approved media is published to curated albums shared through password-protected links with optional expiry. |
| Guest upload path | No app store, no account and no forgotten passwords — guests scan the QR code or tap a private link and land straight in the gallery. The private URL can carry a PIN, and editable Canva templates cover table cards, welcome signs and take-home cards. | No app for guests either: they scan the QR code and upload from the phone browser with no login. The Wedding plan adds a custom wedibox.com URL and a wedding website, where guests search their own name to find seating and RSVP details. | One QR code that works on any phone with no app download, and a built-in guest consent prompt before every upload. |
| Host control over what is seen | Galleries are private and reachable only by QR code or private link. From the host dashboard you can restrict uploads, hide photos from other guests, or close the gallery entirely at any time. All three wedding tiles also list “Content Moderation”, but GuestPix does not publish whether that gates uploads before other guests see them. | The gallery is “private by default. Only people who scan your code or hold your link can see it,” with optional password protection, and the couple can “moderate what appears.” Wedibox does not publish an approve-before-guests-see-it queue. | Nothing is public until you approve it. Every upload lands in a private review queue and only approved media reaches an album. |
| Notable extras | Written and video guestbook, one digital invitation with RSVPs from Classic up, a photo and video slideshow, and custom colour themes and fonts from Signature. Signature Bundle is the only tier covering three separate events, each with its own QR code and invite, on a single purchase. | Wedding adds a full wedding website, audio guestbook messages and a live slideshow; All-In-One adds RSVPs with meals and plus-ones, a live seating chart, a shared music playlist and registry links. Embed is the only plan that puts the uploader on your own website as a widget. | Practical QR sign wording and post-event reminder guidance, aimed at getting more guests to actually upload. |
Product details checked 21 August 2026 against: GuestPix pricing, GuestPix wedding packages, GuestPix Classic package, GuestPix Signature package, GuestPix FAQs, Wedibox pricing, Wedibox wedding photo sharing and Wedibox upload vs storage period. Candid Cam's event model is described on its pricing page.
Three published conflicts worth flagging: the GuestPix Classic product page heading says “6-Month Upload Window” while the sentence beneath it says “a generous 3-month upload window”. We use 3 months, which is what the wedding packages tile (“3 Mth. Upload & 12 Mth. Hosting”) and the GuestPix FAQs (“Smaller entry-level packages have a 3 month window”) both state. Separately, the Signature product page lists “5 Albums” while the wedding pricing tile advertises unlimited Super Albums as a limited-time offer. And on the Wedibox side, the pricing page says flatly “Every plan stores your gallery for a year after the event”, while the Wedibox help centre gives a per-plan table in which All-in-One (1-year) stores for 2 years and an All-in-One (2-year) variant stores for 5 — and anchors both the upload and storage clocks to your activation date rather than your wedding date. The help centre also lists Wedding (2-year) and All-in-One (2-year) plans that the pricing page does not price. We use the help centre figures. Confirm all three at checkout before you buy on those numbers.
The verdict
You want the most upload time for $49 — six months against GuestPix Classic’s three — or you want the wedding admin bundled in. All-In-One at $79 is the only package here with RSVPs, meals, plus-ones and a live seating chart, and Embed at $29 is the only one that puts the uploader on your own website as a widget. Wedibox also lets you buy now and pick the activation date later, and refunds in full within 14 days of purchase.
You want a longer runway than a single six-month window, or you are running more than one event. Signature at $89 gives 12 months of uploads and 12 months of hosting from the event date, and Signature Bundle covers three separate event galleries over 24 months — engagement party, rehearsal dinner and wedding on one purchase. GuestPix also publishes its fair-use numbers (1,000 guests with 200GB on Classic and 400GB on Signature), includes a video guestbook alongside the written one, and hands back a ZIP already foldered by guest name.
You do not want a countdown on your wedding photos, and you want to see every upload before your guests do. Both competitors put the gallery on a schedule: GuestPix hosts for 12 months from the event date on Classic and Signature, and Wedibox runs a 1–5 year storage clock by plan from your activation date, archiving the gallery and pausing browsing when it ends. Candid Cam sets no such deadline — there is no automatic deletion after a fixed period, media goes only when the host deletes it, and every upload waits in a private review queue until you approve it.
One QR code that works on any phone, with no app download and no guest account to create.
Nothing is public until you approve it. Every upload waits in a private review queue.
No automatic deletion after a fixed period, where GuestPix hosting runs 12–24 months by package and Wedibox runs a 1–5 year storage clock from your activation date, after which browsing pauses until you restore the gallery.
Collect reception clips, speeches, selfies, and candid photos in the same upload flow.
Buying checklist
Entry prices match at $49, so the money question is what each one attaches to that price — months, albums, and bundled wedding admin.
How long is the upload window at the price you will actually pay — 3, 6 or 12 months?
When does that clock start: the event date, the purchase date, or an activation date you choose?
How long does the gallery stay online once uploads close, and what happens after that?
Can you download everything at original resolution in one ZIP, and can guests download too?
Can the couple review uploads before anything appears in the shared album?

GuestPix vs Wedibox FAQ
At the matching $49 entry price, Wedibox gives more time: a 6-month upload window on its Wedding plan against 3 months on GuestPix Classic. GuestPix then hosts for 12 months from the event date, while Wedibox stores that gallery for a year from your activation date and archives rather than deletes it at the end. Wedibox also bundles a wedding website, audio guestbook and live slideshow at that price, and its $79 All-In-One is the only package here with RSVPs, meals, plus-ones and a live seating chart. GuestPix wins on the longer runway and multi-event coverage — Signature at $89 runs 12 months of uploads and hosting, and Signature Bundle covers three separate event galleries over 24 months — plus a video guestbook and a ZIP already sorted into folders by guest name.
Both charge once per event with no recurring fee. GuestPix lists its Classic wedding package at $49 and Signature at $89, with Signature Bundle above them, and a free plan that collects up to 50 photos. Wedibox lists Embed at $29, Wedding at $49 and All-In-One at $79, with a free tier capped at 50 guest photo uploads. Wedibox prices display in USD by default with a currency switcher, and it offers a full refund within 14 days of purchase.
GuestPix Classic allows uploads for 3 months with 12 months of hosting, and Signature allows 12 months of both, each measured from the event date rather than the purchase date; Signature Bundle extends to 24 months but is measured from the purchase date, so buying far ahead costs you time. Wedibox allows 3 months on Embed, 6 months on Wedding and 1 year on All-In-One, and both its upload and storage clocks start on an activation date you select rather than the wedding date or the purchase date, so buying early does not burn the window. Storage then runs 1 year on Wedding (1-year) and 2 years on All-in-One (1-year), and the gallery is archived rather than deleted once it ends.
Yes, from both. GuestPix delivers a single ZIP of every photo and video at original full resolution, organised into folders by guest name, downloadable any time within 12 months of the event date on most paid packages, with guest download permissions left to the host. Wedibox states “original quality in and out” with no compression on upload or download, and makes everything downloadable as a ZIP once the event ends; full-quality downloads are listed from the $29 Embed plan up.
Candid Cam is the option to compare when the deadline and the moderation model bother you. GuestPix hosts for 12 months from the event date on Classic and Signature, and Wedibox runs a storage clock of 1 to 5 years depending on plan, counted from your activation date, after which the gallery is archived and browsing is paused until you bring it back. Either way the access window is scheduled for you. Candid Cam sets no such deadline — there is no automatic deletion after a fixed period, and media is removed only when the host deletes it. Every upload also waits in a private review queue, so nothing is public until the couple approves it, and setup is free until you take the event live.
