Our Event Album alternative: Gathmo compared
Gathmo is the better choice if a usable free event and recorded voice matter more than Our Event Album’s 6-month bundle at €36 once, with a live slideshow. Both let guests upload photos and videos in the browser without an app or account. This comparison is written by Gathmo and states where Our Event Album is stronger.

Choose Gathmo for a free start and voice; choose Our Event Album for one simple six-month slideshow bundle
Our Event Album sells one event for $39 USD or €36 plus applicable tax. It includes unlimited photo and video uploads, a live slideshow, comments and likes, full-resolution downloads and six months of access. Guests use a browser without an app or account. The official format guide caps each photo at 20 MB and each video at 500 MB; RAW photos are not supported.
Gathmo combines photos, videos and recorded voice in one QR flow. Its usable free event accepts 20 items for 30 days, while paid plan prices and limits appear below in your currency. Guests need no app or account; an optional app is available to hosts. Choose it when voice capture, a free live test or plan choice matters more than a single bundled purchase.

When Our Event Album is the better pick
Our Event Album has a clear, credible advantage: one purchase already bundles a long access window and the live experience.
One €36/$39 bundle includes six months and a live slideshow
There is no plan ladder to decode. Unlimited photo and video uploads, the slideshow and six months of access sit in one event purchase, which is a simpler buying decision.
Comments and likes are central to its gallery
Our Event Album explicitly includes comments and likes alongside the live slideshow. If visible guest interaction is central to the event, its one-bundle presentation is unusually clear.
4 concrete differences in Gathmo’s favour
A usable free event
Gathmo’s free event collects 20 photos, videos or voice messages for 30 days without requiring a card.
Our Event Album offers a live demo, but its public pricing page does not list a free event plan.
Recorded voice in the same QR flow
Guests can leave a voice message beside photos and videos without installing an app.
Recorded voice was not listed on the official Our Event Album pages reviewed; that is not a claim that it can never be added.
Choose the retention and event depth
Gathmo’s plans range from a 30-day free event to paid options with longer access and a live wall, all displayed below with local pricing.
Our Event Album does not offer a plan ladder: its simpler model is six months in one package, with a 12-month checkout extension.
Try the real guest path before paying
The free Gathmo event can receive actual guest uploads, so you can test one photo, video and voice message on a second phone.
Our Event Album’s public free option is a demonstration rather than a listed free event plan.
All Our Event Album facts were checked on official pages on 30 August 2026. Its public reviews page contains testimonials selected and hosted by the provider, so this comparison does not treat it as independent review evidence or publish a rating. The pricing page and checkout describe different fulfilment timing; because they conflict, this page makes no delivery-speed claim. If anything is out of date, please tell us; Our Event Album is invited to request a correction, and readers should verify the live checkout before buying.
