In their own words
EventPics
EventPics collects guests’ event photos and videos in a shared album reached by QR code or link. Guests can upload through a browser or app without creating accounts, and files can be downloaded in their original quality. Hosts can set separate viewing, upload, and download permissions, and choose to approve uploads before they appear in the gallery. New uploads can flow into a live slideshow shown in a browser on a TV or projector. The free plan includes 2 GB of storage, unlimited guests, automatic Google Drive backup, a REST API, and a Folder Uploader for photo booths and photographers. Free events expire after six weeks if started immediately, or four weeks after a planned event date; expired events have a seven-day recovery period. Premium starts at €4.99 per month for 10 GB, with larger storage plans listed. EventPics is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and through an API. It is aimed at weddings, birthdays, company parties, family celebrations, group trips, festivals, and other events.
FamilyAlbum
FamilyAlbum is a private service for sharing family photos and videos, designed to help parents share children’s moments with loved ones. Uploads are arranged automatically into albums by month. Only family members invited by the user can view an album; they can comment, respond to reactions and communicate there, while album owners can check whether relatives viewed photos. The free plan includes unlimited photo and video storage and 11 free prints per family member each month. Users can follow suggested ideas for monthly photobooks or create their own. FamilyAlbum is available on Android, iOS and the web, with no desktop app listed. Paid plans begin at $2.99 a month: Premium One costs $2.99 a month, Premium Family is $5.99 a month or 59 USD per year, and Premium Family Pro is $10.99 a month or 109 USD per year. Premium plans add features such as computer uploads, longer or higher-quality video uploads, bulk downloads, search and TV casting. FamilyAlbum says transfers are encrypted and that it does not sell user data to third parties.
