Pick GuestCam for one event; pick Gathmo for repeatable branded guest media
GuestCam does the consumer event job well: guests scan a QR code, upload photos and videos, and can use an included audio guestbook. Gathmo is the better fit when the buying criteria are EU data residency, GDPR-first operations, live-wall moderation, voice plus video, and a product that photographers, planners, venues, or agencies can run under their own brand.

Questions people ask before switching
Is there a free way to test it before the wedding?
Yes. The free tier is a real event, not a preview: real uploads, a real album, no card. Most couples run it on a small gathering first to see how guests react to the QR code.
Can guests record video messages, not just photos?
Yes. Video messages record in the browser like the voice ones and land in the same album, so a guest who cannot make the speech can still say the thing they wanted to say.
Where is guest media stored?
In the EU. That is the default rather than an upgrade, and the data-processing agreement is a public page you can read before you sign up rather than a document you have to request.
Can guests download the album, or only us?
Guests too. They open the link and download whatever they want — which matters more than it sounds, because the family members who were photographed are usually the ones who want the file.
Do we have to moderate every upload?
No, moderation runs on uploads without you sitting over it. You decide separately what appears on a live wall at the venue, which is the part where hosts usually want the final say.
What happens when the retention window ends?
You can download everything at any point before then, so the files stay with you regardless. The window governs how long the convenient online album stays up, not whether the memories survive.
Your guests get the whole album — and can download it.
- Photos, videos and voice messages, all on one page.
- Guests open the link and download whatever they want.
- Public, or behind a password — you decide.
