JoinAlbum vs WedShoots

WedShoots or JoinAlbum: app or browser?

Both collect your guests' photos. The difference is what a guest has to do first, and what you pay.

WedShoots is a free wedding photo app: guests get the album code and the app, and their photos land in the couple's album. Its trade-off is the install, because every guest has to download the app before they can share. JoinAlbum runs in the phone browser instead: guests scan a QR code, type their name and upload. It's free with up to 10 photos or videos and €49 once for unlimited uploads, so if cost matters more than friction, WedShoots is the cheaper option.
