GuestPix review: worth it, or is there a cheaper UK alternative?
GuestPix review for UK weddings: £39, £69 or £89, and no voice messages. A cheaper alternative priced in pounds, a free option, and which one suits you.
The short answer: GuestPix suits you if you want the gallery online for a year, with digital invitations. It costs £39, £69 or £89 and takes no voice messages. Cheaper in the UK is QR Album, with voices, photos and videos in one guest album from £29. The free route is a WhatsApp group. Prices checked 16 October 2026.
Which one suits you?
- You want the gallery online for a year, with invitations and RSVPs: GuestPix Signature, £69.
- You only want photos and want to pay nothing: a WhatsApp group, if smaller files are fine.
- You want voices, photos and videos for less, in a guest album everyone enjoys: QR Album is the best choice, especially on a budget.
GuestPix: good, but no voices
- Strength: no app, unlimited photos and videos, a live slideshow, likes and comments, plus digital invitations with RSVPs. The gallery opens 2 weeks before the wedding.
- Cost: Classic at £39 lets guests upload for 3 months, Signature at £69 for 12 months. The £89 Bundle covers 3 galleries for 24 months, counted from the day you buy.
- Limit: a written and video guest book, but no voice messages. Read the refund terms too: the pricing page promises a 14-day money-back guarantee, while the host terms of 8 August 2026 rule out refunds on digital products.
QR Album: cheaper, and with voices
- Voices at the reception and afterwards: guests record their wishes on the day and can still add photos, videos and voice notes weeks later, each signed with their name if they like.
- An album the guests enjoy too: public or private, with likes and comments. New posts appear straight away, and from Celebrate on the live photo wall at the venue. Grand transcribes every voice note.
- Easy on guests and on the budget: no app, on any phone, from £29 in pounds, £10 less than GuestPix Classic. You pick the album design, and photos and videos keep their original quality.
Free: a WhatsApp group
- Pro: it costs nothing, and almost every guest already has the app.
- Con: photos are often sent in reduced quality, there is no album page, and voice notes disappear between chat messages. Guests who are not in the group miss out.
- Pro tip: ask guests to send their best shots as a document. WhatsApp then passes on the original file instead of a smaller copy.
3 checks before you pay
- Upload window, not just storage: guests find their best photos weeks later. GuestPix Classic closes uploads after 3 months, although the gallery stays online for 12.
- Voices: if the toasts matter to you, choose a service that records voice messages, not just a written guest book.
- A test on a real phone: open the guest page on an older phone over mobile data, the way a guest in a marquee would.
