WedShoots Alternative: Gathmo vs WedShoots
Gathmo is the better choice if 1 browser link for photos, video and voice matters more than a completely free social photo app. WedShoots is the better choice if unlimited photos at €0 plus filters, comments and likes matter more than avoiding an app install. This fair comparison is written by Gathmo.
Updated 30 August 2026 from the official WedShoots product page and current Google Play and Apple App Store listings.

WedShoots for a free social photo app; Gathmo for a no-app multimedia flow
WedShoots is active and completely free at €0. Its official page promises unlimited participants and as many photos as guests want. Its real-time gallery adds filters, likes and comments; owners can control sharing and participants, use a projector and download the album in high resolution. Google Play says video was added. Official guest instructions still begin with the iOS or Android app, while the detailed page remains mainly photo-focused. No public storage cap or retention duration was found.
Gathmo guests upload in the browser without an account or app; hosts may optionally use the Android organizer app. One event collects photos, video and voice. Free means 20 items for 30 days. German reference prices are €29 for 90 days, €69 for 183 days plus approved live wall, or €89 for 365 days plus live broadcast and transcripts. WedShoots is stronger on free unlimited photos and social interaction. Gathmo is stronger on no-install mixed-phone contribution, voice, published retention and pre-display approval.
