GuestPix review: what it costs a UK host, and where it stops

An honest GuestPix review for UK hosts: the £39, £69 and £89 wedding plans read from the site on 26 August 2026, what they cover, and where they stop.

A host who searches for a GuestPix review usually wants 2 answers and no essay: what does it cost in pounds, and does it hold up on the day. This article answers both. Every price and every feature line below was read off guestpix.com on 26 August 2026, with the site’s own currency switcher set to GBP, and the pages are listed at the foot.

One disclosure first, because it changes how you should read the rest. We build QR Album, which does a similar job for British hosts. That is a reason to be careful, not a reason to stay quiet: nothing said here about GuestPix is our impression of it, only what its own pages state — and there is a section further down on the occasions where GuestPix is the better purchase.

What GuestPix costs in pounds

GuestPix charges once per event rather than monthly. With the currency switcher set to GBP on 26 August 2026, the wedding plans read £39 for Classic, £69 for Signature and £89 for the Signature Bundle. All are one-off payments, and all include unlimited photos and videos.

What actually separates the wedding plans is time, not capacity. Classic keeps the upload window open for 3 months and hosts the gallery for 12; Signature opens the window for the full 12 months and adds custom colours, fonts and unlimited Super Albums; the Bundle covers 3 separate galleries with their own QR codes for a couple planning an engagement do and a rehearsal dinner alongside the wedding itself.

The line to notice is the last column of the bottom row. On Classic and Signature the clock starts at your event date, so buying early costs you nothing. On the Signature Bundle it starts at the date of purchase — book it 9 months out and a quarter of the window is gone before anyone scans anything.

On discount codes: the wedding pricing page carried exactly one promotion that day, a banner offering unlimited Super Albums on Signature and Signature Bundle at no extra cost, and no code to type. There is also a 14-day money-back guarantee on the paid plans, which is the nearest thing to a risk-free trial once you have paid.

If you are not getting married

GuestPix prices parties on a separate, cheaper ladder: £29 for Small, £39 for Medium and £67 for Large, again one-off. The important difference is not the price. Small does not include video uploads at all — it is a photos-only plan, and its own feature list says so.

That matters more at a birthday than at a wedding. The moments people reach for a phone to catch at a 40th are almost all moving ones: the speech that goes on too long, the cake being carried in, the bit of the dance floor nobody will admit to. A photos-only gallery collects the aftermath of those and none of the thing itself.

Medium is the plan GuestPix marks as most popular, and on these numbers that looks right rather than promotional: £10 more than Small is a small sum to pay for the half of the evening that moves. Large adds 3 albums, custom colours and fonts, and stretches the upload window to 12 months, which is the version worth having if the party is the sort people travel to.

Read the ladder as a whole and a pattern appears that runs through the whole product: you are not buying storage, you are buying months. Every tier is unlimited on files and finite on time, and the cheap tiers are cheap because their windows are short.

What the free plan gives you

The free tier is a demo, and GuestPix labels it as one. It gives you 1 temporary gallery, a cap of 50 photos, a 30-day upload window, unlimited guests and the digital invitation with RSVPs, with no card details required.

For its stated purpose that is a fair offer. You can build a gallery, print the QR code, hand it to a sceptical relative and watch whether they manage it without help — which is the only test of this category that means anything. GuestPix suggests it takes under 2 minutes to see, and setting one up is genuinely quick.

What it is not is a plan you could run a real event on. A wedding of 80 guests will pass 50 photos before the wedding breakfast is cleared, and a 30-day window closes while you are still opening cards. The demo is there to sell the paid plan, and it is honest about that on the page.

This is one of the few places where our own product is shaped differently rather than just priced differently, so we should say it plainly: QR Album keeps a free album alive as a free album — 20 uploads, a 30-day life, no card — while GuestPix caps the demo at photos and a fixed month. Neither is generous enough for a wedding. Both are enough to answer the question a free tier exists to answer, which is whether your guests can work it.

What GuestPix does well

The core of it is sound. Guests scan and upload with no app and no registration, every paid wedding plan takes unlimited photos and videos, hosting runs for 12 months from the event date, and content moderation, a slideshow and a written and video guestbook are included on all 3 wedding tiers rather than sold upwards.

The unglamorous parts are handled too. Copyright stays entirely with you, according to the pricing page. Guests and co-hosts are unlimited under a fair-use policy of up to 1,000 per event. The interface is offered in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Japanese with more besides, which is worth something at a wedding where half the room flew in.

There are 2 details here that show a product built by people who have watched real events rather than imagined them. The gallery opens 2 weeks before your event date, so the QR code can be tested on the actual thing rather than in your head. And the paid plans ship with 180+ editable Canva templates for the code itself, which is the difference between a printed card that suits your stationery and one that looks like a parcel label.

On reception: the wedding pricing page carries its own review widget, showing 4.8 out of 5 from 46 reviews on the day this was written, with 83% at 5 stars. That is a first-party figure on a sales page, so weigh it accordingly — but it is the number the company itself publishes, and it is not a flattering-only sample of 3.

Where GuestPix stops

GuestPix sells you a window, and every limit follows from that. Hosting ends 12 months after the event on Classic and Signature; keeping the gallery online after that is an optional renewal at what the FAQ calls a discounted rate, with no figure published anywhere on the pricing pages.

Classic’s 3-month upload window is the sharpest edge of it. Guests find their best shots weeks later, as GuestPix’s own FAQ says — and on the £39 plan the door shuts a quarter of a year after the wedding, while the gallery stays visible for another 9 months that nobody can add to.

• One gallery per purchase unless you buy the £89 Bundle — a second event means a second plan.
• Fair use caps guests at 1,000 per event; larger events need a custom package.
• The £29 party tier excludes video uploads entirely.
• The Bundle’s 24 months run from purchase, not from your event date.
• Renewal pricing after the hosting window is not published.

One more thing worth knowing before you compare it with anything else: the wedding feature lists name a written and video guestbook, and they do not name voice notes. If the recording you most want from the evening is your grandmother’s toast rather than a video of someone making it, check that with them before you buy — it is the kind of gap a feature grid hides because nobody thinks to look for the row.

GuestPix in the UK

GuestPix is Australian made and owned, by its own description, and sells into the UK through a currency switcher rather than a British site. Set it to GBP and you are quoted £39, £69 and £89 with no conversion arithmetic — but the support desk, described as a 7-day customer care team, keeps Australian daylight.

For most of what you will need that is irrelevant. You will set the gallery up weeks ahead, print the card, and never contact anybody. It only starts to matter on the single afternoon it could matter — a Saturday in a Cotswold barn, an hour before the wedding breakfast, when something is not doing what you expected.

The British shape of a wedding day puts 2 specific questions to any product in this category, and they are worth asking GuestPix directly before you pay. The first is the marquee problem: signal in a field is frequently dreadful, and you want to know what happens to an upload that fails at the moment it fails. The second is evening guests, who arrive after the meal, stay for the loud half and take most of the dance-floor photographs — they need a code somewhere other than the table plan.

The practical UK answer to both is printing rather than software: put the code on the order of service and the bar as well as the tables, and the 180+ Canva templates make that cheap to do. Test the whole thing on a real phone on the venue’s own signal during the rehearsal, not on your sofa on fibre.

When GuestPix is the better buy

On 3 specific things GuestPix beats what we sell, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. It hosts the gallery for 12 months from the event date rather than 90 days. It covers 3 separate events on one £89 purchase. And it bundles a digital invitation with RSVPs into the same price.

Take the hosting first, because it is the one that decides most purchases. Our paid albums run for 90 days and are built on the assumption that you download your originals and keep them somewhere of your own. GuestPix’s year assumes the opposite — that the gallery itself is the place the photographs live, and that you will come back to it at Christmas. If that is how you think about it, the £69 Signature plan is the more comfortable purchase, and no argument from us should talk you out of it.

The Bundle is the clearer case still. British weddings increasingly come with an engagement party and a rehearsal dinner attached, and £89 for 3 galleries with 3 codes and 24 months is straightforwardly good value against buying a plan per occasion from anybody, us included.

And if you want RSVPs, a video guestbook and the photo gallery from a single supplier with a single invoice, GuestPix does that and we do not. We sell one album for one occasion. That is a deliberate choice, but it is a narrower product, and narrower is not the same as better.

The verdict

GuestPix is a solid, honestly priced product, and £69 Signature is the version to buy — the 12-month upload window is what makes the category work, and it is the plan the company itself points couples towards. Think twice about £39 Classic, whose window closes 3 months after the day, and about £29 party, which takes no video.

The pattern across all of it is consistent: unlimited files, finite months. Decide how long you want the gallery to be a living thing and buy the plan that matches, because that single choice is what you are paying for, not storage and not features.

You are not buying storage. You are buying months.

Ours, openly, for comparison: QR Album is free to start and then £29, £69 or £89 once per occasion. Guests scan and upload with no app or account, exactly as they do with GuestPix. What differs is the emphasis — we take voice notes alongside photos and video, put an approved live photo wall on the venue screen from the £69 plan, and hand back every original in full quality; and our albums run 90 days rather than a year, which is the trade we made and which you have now read the argument against.

If you are choosing between them, the honest test is time. Want a gallery that quietly stays up for a year with invitations attached — GuestPix. Want the voices as well as the pictures, everything downloaded in full and the day up on the big screen while it is still happening — look at our plans and decide on the feature you would actually miss.
