EventPics vs PixShare

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.

PixShare provides photo and video albums for sharing, organizing and presenting media, including professional galleries for photographers and businesses. An express album can be created in a browser without an account and shared by private link. Guests can add images to collaborative albums through a link or QR code without installing an app. Gallery tools include likes, comments, contact forms, custom social preview images and visit analytics; video support includes transcoding and adaptive streaming. Professional galleries can use custom logos, colors and share pages, with album expiry options. Albums can be embedded on websites, and the service lists a WordPress plugin and an API for creating albums and configuring access. Albums and photos can be exported in high-quality ZIP format. The Free plan includes one album and 50 images; paid plans begin at €4.99/mo. The Lite image allowance is inconsistent: its comparison table lists 1,000 images, while its plan card lists 500. The maker says connections use TLS 1.3 and data and backups are hosted in Europe under GDPR standards.
