A digital disposable camera, or an open album?
Momento turns guests' phones into disposable cameras. JoinAlbum collects whatever they shoot.
Momento recreates the disposable camera in the phone browser: guests scan a code, pick a nickname and shoot. Hosts can set an optional limit on shots and hide photos until a reveal, and there's a TV slideshow mode. It's free for up to 5 guests and paid once per event after that, from about $7.99 depending on event size. JoinAlbum is built to collect everything instead: guests upload photos and videos with no limit on shots, and you get a QR studio for the sign and a co-host. It's free with up to 10 files and €49 once for unlimited, so for a small party Momento is usually the cheaper choice.
