The best WedShoots alternative in 2026 — for hosts who want every guest photo, not half of them.
Memo collects photos from every event guest with a single QR code. No app install, no signup, no missing photos. An app-based guest photo collector for weddings. Here's how the two stack up.
What WedShoots is
WedShoots is a wedding-focused guest photo app. Couples create an event, share an event code, and guests download the WedShoots iOS/Android app to upload photos. It's been around for years and has a recognizable name in the wedding-app category.
Where WedShoots genuinely wins
Established brand within the US wedding-planning industry.
Has an iOS and Android app, which some guests prefer over a web page.
Integrates a guestbook feature for written messages alongside photos.
Where Memo wins
No app install required — guests scan a QR code and the browser opens directly to the upload screen. WedShoots requires an iOS/Android download, and roughly 40% of wedding guests refuse to install event-specific apps.
Full-resolution photos by default. WedShoots compresses uploads on the free tier.
Per-event pricing, not subscription — pay once and own the album.
Built-in live slideshow URL for venue TVs (no separate AV setup needed).
EXIF/GPS metadata stripped on every photo and video for guest privacy.
Sub-albums for ceremony / reception / brunch — keep moments organized.

WedShoots alternative FAQ
Is Memo cheaper than WedShoots?
Memo's free plan supports 30 photos at 7-day storage; paid plans run $49–$89 once per event. WedShoots charges a subscription. For a one-time event, Memo is typically cheaper because you pay per-album rather than per-month.
Do my wedding guests need to install anything to use Memo?
No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera, the browser opens, and the upload page loads. There's no app to install, no account to create, and no email required.
Can I import my existing WedShoots album into Memo?
Yes — download your photos from WedShoots, then upload them in batch to a new Memo album. We're working on a one-click migration; meanwhile, our team can help with bulk imports over 200 photos.
Does Memo work for non-wedding events?
Yes. Memo supports weddings, baptisms, anniversaries, birthdays, corporate events, retreats, and any gathering where you want to collect photos from multiple people. WedShoots is wedding-only by design.
