Comparison
GuestPix or Medley? What will make you choose.
GuestPix is an established name in the QR code photo album, and a serious product. So the question before choosing is not “does it work”, it is “on which plan, for how long, and where do my photos live”.
Because at GuestPix several settings depend on the tier: the colours of the album, or the length of the window during which your guests may upload. Medley takes the opposite bet: no tiers to compare, and a wedding or event album hosted in the European Union.
The questions to ask before you choose
Three points make the difference once the party is over, whichever service you pick.
One offer, or tiers of options?
GuestPix works in plans, and several settings (colours, fonts, the upload window) climb with the tier. At Medley there is nothing to add up. Medley is in its test phase: unlimited photos and videos, in original quality, Live slideshow included, and nothing to pay.
How long are your photos kept?
At GuestPix the gallery is hosted for twelve months from the event, twenty-four on the bundled offer, with renewal possible. The album is kept at least until December 31, 2026.
Where does your guests' data live?
On this one GuestPix plays fair: its privacy policy states GDPR compliance and names its storage countries: Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands. Three of them sit outside the European Union. Medley hosts everything in the EU, with OVH, and proves it.

What GuestPix does well
Fair is fair: GuestPix is an established and finished product. Uploading with no app through a QR code, signs you can customise, a guest book, a multilingual interface, prices shown in the currency you choose, and a privacy policy that names its storage countries rather than hiding them. If its tier model suits you and where the data lives does not weigh on your decision, it is a solid option.
Frequently asked questions
- Is GuestPix free, and what does it cost?
- No: GuestPix works through paid plans (Classic, Signature, Signature Bundle), shown by type of event and in the currency you choose. Medley is in its test phase: unlimited photos and videos, in original quality, Live slideshow included, and nothing to pay.
- How long does GuestPix keep the photos?
- According to their site (checked in August 2026), the gallery is hosted for twelve months after the event, twenty-four on the bundled offer, and the guest upload window runs from three to twelve months depending on the plan. The album is kept at least until December 31, 2026.
- Both have a guest book: what actually changes?
- GuestPix announces a “Written & Video Guestbook” on all three of its plans, recorded on 7 August 2026: the written note and the video, with no voice message. Our guest book adds the voice, and you decide whether those words stay in the organisers' hands or show for the whole album.
- Can I move from GuestPix to Medley?
- Yes. Download the complete album from GuestPix while it is still active, create a Medley album, then upload the lot into it. Our comparison of wedding photo apps helps you make up your mind.
