Kululu alternatives: the one-time $19.99 option, and two others
At the event, the job is the same: guests point a phone at a code, the upload page opens in the browser, and their photos join everyone else’s. Eventphoto.io charges $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once per event for it; Kululu’s plans are $39–$99 (checked October 2026). Both have a free plan, counted differently. Kululu’s counts the whole event: 100 photo and video uploads, 24-hour upload window, kept 7 days. Ours counts each guest: 20 photos per guest, however many guests come, kept 14 days.

What Kululu does better
Plainly: a live photo wall with photos and videos on every plan, the free one included, and manual moderation on Pro. Our slideshow plays the photos loaded when you start it, and our moderation is deleting after the fact, not approving before display. If a screen that fills up live during the party is what you want, take Kululu. If what you want is one code on the tables and every guest photo and video in one place afterward, with nothing renewing, you should not have to choose between two tiers to get it.

Common questions
What is a good Kululu alternative?
Eventphoto.io does the same core job (guests scan a QR code and upload from the phone browser into one shared gallery, with no app and no account) for a one-time $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) per event, against Kululu's $39–$99 plans (list prices checked October 2026). Both have a free plan, and they are built differently: Kululu's is 100 photo and video uploads, 24-hour upload window, kept 7 days; ours is 20 photos from every guest, however many guests come, kept 14 days, no card.
How do the free plans differ?
Kululu counts the whole event: 100 photo and video uploads, 24-hour upload window, kept 7 days. We count per guest: each guest can add up to 20 photos, there is no cap on how many guests upload, and the gallery stays 14 days with the ZIP download included. For a small party ours usually covers the whole thing; for a wedding both free plans run out, which is what the paid plans are for.
What is Kululu better at?
A live photo wall with photos and videos on every plan, the free one included, and manual moderation on Pro. Our slideshow plays the photos that were loaded when you started it and does not pull in new uploads while it runs, and our moderation is the host deleting photos after they arrive, not approving them before they show. If a screen that updates live during the party or approval before display matters to you, Kululu is the better fit. If the need is the core one, every guest photo and video through one QR code, Eventphoto.io does that job for a one-time $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK).
Is the price really one-time?
Yes. $19.99 (£15.99 in the UK) once per event, never a subscription and nothing that renews, for unlimited photos and videos per guest from any number of guests, video files up to 200 MB, 12 months of storage, a digital guest book, a printable QR sign designer and AI tagging that makes the gallery searchable. Kululu's plans are one-time per event too, at $39 (Plus, 500 uploads) or $99 (Pro, unlimited), excluding taxes; the difference is one flat tier against two.
Who can see the photos guests upload?
Everyone holding the QR code or the event code sees the same gallery, which is the point: guests scroll through what the others added during the party. It is never public and is not indexed by search engines, and only the private host link manages the event, deletes what should not stay and downloads the whole set as one ZIP.
Can I try it before paying anything?
Yes, and the free plan is not a time-limited trial of the paid one. Create an event in well under a minute, print the code, and collect up to 20 photos per guest with 14 days of storage, downloading everything as a ZIP included. Upgrade only if you want video, longer storage or no per-guest limit.
What happens to the photos afterward?
Download them. The host link packs everything into one ZIP and emails you the download link, usually within minutes; from there they are ordinary files: an album, a slideshow you build yourself, a backup drive. A free event is deleted with its media once its 14 days are up, so download before then; a paid event gives you 12 months.
