Kululu alternative

Every plan gets a live photo wall. Only one of us reads the photos.

Kululu does a real job well, and does it on every plan, right down to the free one: a QR code, a digital album and a live slideshow that updates while the reception is still going. The difference shows up the week after, when you are looking for one shot out of a thousand and there is nothing to type it into.

Being fair about it

The live photo wall is on every plan, including free.

Free, Plus and Pro all come with a digital album and a real-time slideshow you can put on a screen at the venue. We do not have a live slideshow yet. Guests see the gallery on their own phones instead.

There is a free tier and a money-back guarantee.

Kululu's free plan needs no card, and their fair refund policy pays you back if the paid plan does not get used at your event. That is a lower-risk way to try a product than ours, which is $79 up front with no free tier. By their own count, Kululu has moved over 8.7 million photos across more than 52,000 events, with a 4.7-star rating from 500-plus reviews.

Where it stops working

It plays the photo back. It cannot describe it.

Kululu stores what arrives and plays it back on a slideshow or in an album. Finding the one photo you are thinking of, out of a thousand, means scrolling or waiting for the wall to loop past it. Ours describes every photo and video as it lands, so you type what you remember instead.

The free plan is a demo, not a wedding.

A 24-hour upload window and photos gone after 7 days will not survive a real wedding weekend, and 100 uploads is a fraction of what a reception sends. Plus, at $39, caps at 500 uploads and a one-month window, which a 150-guest wedding can outgrow before the honeymoon is over. To actually run a wedding on Kululu without worrying about the ceiling, you are looking at Pro, at $99, twenty dollars over our pass.

Pro has no upload cap. It costs $99.

Kululu's Pro plan takes unlimited uploads, so the choice there is which tier to buy before the wedding. Ours has one tier: the $79 pass holds up to 2,000 photos and videos, and the full list of what is included is on the wedding page.

Which one you want

Want it on a screen at the reception: Kululu. Want the photo found after: us.

If a live slideshow on a screen at the venue matters more to you than search, and you do not mind paying $99 for the plan that survives a real wedding, Kululu is the fairer pick. If what you want is to type "grandma dancing" eight months later and have your phone hand it to you, that is the thing the AI does, and Kululu has not built it yet. Either way, print the code where guests will actually see it.
