Compare the flow
The guest flow is similar: open a link or scan a QR code, then upload in the browser. The meaningful choice is the destination, the host's review control, and whether you want one premium payment across albums or an event-specific service.

Should every upload be visible immediately, or should the couple approve the final album?
Do you need one package across multiple albums or a separate activation for each event?
Will the connected Google Drive account have enough storage for original-quality photos and videos?
Can every guest upload through a QR code or link without downloading an app or creating an account?
