GuestPix vs Wedibox
GuestPix Classic and the Wedibox Wedding plan both 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 24-month bundle that covers three separate event galleries. Comparing one of them with Candid Cam? Read our GuestPix alternative and Wedibox alternative comparisons.

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. Classic is $49, Signature $89 and Signature Bundle $119, which covers three separate event galleries. A free plan collects up to 50 photos, with no videos, from 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. | Free covers your first 50 photos, with no videos and no card. Social is US$35 per wedding for 200 uploads, up to 60 of them videos. Plus is US$69 for 500 uploads, up to 150 of them videos. You pay once; there is no subscription. |
| 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. After hosting ends, you can renew for a fee that GuestPix does not publish. | 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 purchase date, so buying early does not burn the window. Storage lasts 1 year on Embed and Wedding and 2 years on All-In-One, and you can extend it a year at a time; the price shows at checkout. When storage ends the gallery is “archived and intact”, not deleted — browsing pauses and you can bring it back online. | Free galleries expire 30 days after the event ends; paid event media has no fixed expiry and 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. Each file can be up to 3 GB. Uploads sort into albums such as Ceremony, Cocktail Hour and Reception, and the Wedding plan lists unlimited albums. | Each plan has one upload limit for photos and videos together; the video limit sits inside it. |
| 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.” Full-quality downloads are listed on every paid plan; the whole-gallery ZIP, emailed to you, comes with the Wedding plan and up. You can download at any point during the storage period. | Approved photos and videos go into one album shared with a single link, and hosts can Download all. |
| 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. | One QR code: guests upload in their phone browser with no app and no account, and guests see a privacy and consent notice before they 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”: when it is on, uploads wait for your approval 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 an optional upload password. By default, guests see each other’s uploads; the “Hide live feed from guests” switch keeps uploading open while only you can see the gallery, so you can review first. You can also delete or hide single uploads. | 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 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 ($29) is the plan built to put the uploader on a website you already have. | A free printable QR sign maker. |

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 help center's clock table lists Wedding (2-year) and All-in-One (2-year) plans, the second with 5 years of storage, that the pricing page does not sell. We use the pricing page figures: 1 year of storage on Embed and Wedding, 2 years on All-In-One. 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 adds RSVPs with meals and plus-ones, a live seating chart and a shared music playlist, and Embed at $29 puts the uploader on your own website as a widget.
You are running more than one event. Signature Bundle covers three separate event galleries over 24 months — engagement party, rehearsal dinner and wedding on one purchase — with hosting counted from the purchase date. Both list unlimited photos and videos with different limits: GuestPix under a fair use policy of up to 1,000 guests per event (200GB on Classic, 400GB on Signature), and Wedibox with “No caps on the big day” and up to 3 GB per file.
You want every upload held for review by default, with no setting to switch on. Both competitors put paid galleries on a schedule: GuestPix hosts for 12 months from the event date on Classic and Signature, and Wedibox stores galleries for 1 or 2 years by plan from your activation date. Candid Cam paid plans have no fixed expiry; Free galleries expire 30 days after the event ends. Every upload waits in a private review queue until you approve it.
One QR code: guests upload in their phone browser with no app and no account.

Buying checklist
GuestPix Classic and Wedibox Wedding both cost $49 (Wedibox Embed is $29, and both have free tiers), 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 wedding-plan 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 adds RSVPs with meals and plus-ones and a live seating chart. GuestPix wins on multi-event coverage — Signature Bundle covers three separate event galleries over 24 months. For a single event, Wedibox All-In-One ($79) matches Signature’s ($89) 12-month upload window and stores for 2 years. Every GuestPix package also includes a digital invitation with RSVPs.
Both charge once per event with no recurring fee. GuestPix lists Classic at $49, Signature at $89 and Signature Bundle at $119, and a free plan that collects up to 50 photos, with no videos. 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. Wedibox offers a full refund within 14 days of purchase. GuestPix lists a 14-day money-back guarantee, but its refund policy says refunds are assessed case by case.
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 purchase date, so buying early does not burn the window. Storage then runs 1 year on Embed and Wedding and 2 years on All-In-One, 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, 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; full-quality downloads are listed on every paid plan, and the whole-gallery ZIP, emailed to you, comes with the Wedding plan and up.
Candid Cam is the option to compare when the deadline and the moderation model bother you. GuestPix and Wedibox both schedule gallery access. Candid Cam Free galleries expire 30 days after the event ends, while paid plans have no fixed expiry and media is removed only when the host deletes it. Every upload waits in a private review queue, so nothing is public until the couple approves it.
