What is the best alternative to Kululu?

Warpbin. Warpbin's live slideshow is on every plan, including the free demo, and Warpbin never counts uploads, so there is no photo total to guess before the event. Its cheapest paid plan ($19) already includes what Kululu keeps for its higher tiers: original quality, a custom gallery link, moderation and gallery branding. The other options people compare are GuestPix (a QR photo gallery paired with a digital guestbook, sold as packages with a fixed hosting period) and WedUploader (guest uploads that land straight in the host's own Google Drive, with the shared gallery, guestbook and slideshow sold as a premium package).

Is there a free alternative to Kululu?

Yes. Warpbin: Free demo, no card: 500 MB for 14 days with just an email, or 100 MB for 3 days in one click with no email at all. Every feature, unlimited downloads. Its cheapest paid plan is $19 one-time, with every feature included. GuestPix: 50 photos, 30-day upload window, no card. Read free tiers closely, because the binding constraint is usually the upload count, retention or the active window rather than the price.

Do Kululu alternatives still work without a guest app?

All of them do. Kululu, Warpbin, GuestPix and WedUploader all let guests upload from a browser via a link or QR code with no install and no guest account. It's table stakes in this category rather than a differentiator.

How do the upload limits compare to Kululu?

Kululu: Upload count: 100 (Free), 500 (Plus), unlimited (Pro). Warpbin: Storage plus a duration window — no cap on the number of uploads, unlimited downloads. GuestPix: Unlimited photos and videos on paid packages, subject to fair use; 50 photos on the free plan. WedUploader: Unlimited uploads, bounded by your own Google Drive storage.

Kululu alternatives

If you're looking past Kululu for collecting photos from event guests, the realistic options are Warpbin, GuestPix and WedUploader. All of them, Kululu included, work from a link or QR code with no app and no account for guests.

Kululu prices by upload count and keeps original quality, a custom link and moderation for its higher tiers. Warpbin never counts uploads and puts every feature on every plan, from the free demo up.

Why people look past Kululu

Each of these comes from Kululu's own published limits, not from opinions about the product. Kululu is known for a live photo wall and a digital album, priced by how many photos and videos you expect guests to upload.

You can't predict how many photos guests will take. Kululu's plans are set by upload count — 100 on the free tier, 500 on Plus — and only Pro is unlimited.
You want a custom event link or moderation without buying the top tier. Kululu lists both only on Pro.
You want original quality on the free tier. Kululu's free plan saves uploads in standard quality; original quality starts on Plus.
You need the free tier to last longer than a day. Kululu's free plan has a 24-hour upload window and keeps uploads for 7 days.

How Warpbin answers these

Warpbin's live slideshow is on every plan, including the free demo, and Warpbin never counts uploads, so there is no photo total to guess before the event. Its cheapest paid plan ($19) already includes what Kululu keeps for its higher tiers: original quality, a custom gallery link, moderation and gallery branding.

Limits are storage and duration only, a paid gallery's clock starts when files arrive rather than on a date, and every feature is on every plan, including the free demo.

The other alternatives

GuestPix

A QR photo gallery paired with a digital guestbook, sold as packages with a fixed hosting period.

With Warpbin: Warpbin has a written guestbook, photo captions and uploader names on every plan, alongside the live slideshow and moderation. Paid plans start at $19, custom colours are on every plan, and on paid plans the clock starts when photos arrive rather than on your event date.

WedUploader

Guest uploads that land straight in the host's own Google Drive, with the shared gallery, guestbook and slideshow sold as a premium package.

With Warpbin: Warpbin needs no Google account and uses none of your Drive space — guests' files never touch your personal storage. The shared gallery, guestbook, captions, custom link and live slideshow that WedUploader sells as premium are on every Warpbin plan, including the free demo, and Download All gives you a zip of everything whenever you want your own copy.

Everything in every Warpbin plan

36 features, and every one is on every plan — the free demo included. Nothing on this list is an add-on or a higher tier.

Collecting

No app or account for guestsGuests scan the QR code or open the link and upload from their phone's browser. Nothing to install, no sign-up, no password.
Original quality, as uploadedFiles are stored at original resolution, so what you download is what people shot. iPhone HEIC photos are saved as full-quality JPEGs so every device can open them; one switch turns that off.
No cap on files or guestsOnly storage is metered. Upload as many files as fit, from as many people as you like.
Videos of any length, files up to 50 GB eachBig files upload in pieces, so if a guest's connection drops, retrying picks up where it stopped instead of starting over.
Upload straight into an album
Guests add their name, captions and a noteNames show on each photo, captions sit with the photo, and the note comes to you. All optional for guests.
Collect guest emails if you want themOff by default. Turn it on as optional or required; only you see the addresses.
Your own consent note and thank-you messageShow guests a consent note before they upload and a thank-you after, in your own words.
Turn uploads off anytimeHandy once the event is over and you only want people browsing and downloading. You can still add photos yourself.

Viewing and sharing

Download everything in one clickThe whole gallery comes down as a single zip file, or pick just the photos you want. Guests get the button too if you switch it on.
Live slideshow for a big screenPress Slideshow and it plays full screen, adding new photos as guests upload them. Set the speed, shuffle or play in order, and show your QR code on screen so more people join in.
AI photo groups (optional)Warpbin groups photos by scene and light, so you can relive each part of the day. Tap a group to see only those photos. One switch turns it off.
Albums and album filters
A guestbook with replies and votesGuests leave written messages, reply to each other and vote. Print it or save it as a PDF afterwards.
Comments on photos and videos
Activity feedWho uploaded what and when, with their names and notes. Just for you by default, or open it to everyone.
Share one photo from the gallerySend a single photo through the phone's share sheet, or copy a link to it.
Shared favoritesOne favorites list for the whole gallery. Admin-only by default, or let guests mark the shots they love and pick the keepers together.
Sort by time taken, upload time or nameTime taken is when the photo was actually shot, so the day plays back in order no matter when people uploaded.
In 19 languagesThe gallery and everything guests see is translated.

Hosting and control

Private modeEach guest only sees what they uploaded themselves. You always see everything through your admin link.
Custom link like warpbin.com/your-name
Your banner, logo, colors and description
QR code studioDesign your QR code in one of six themes and download it as a table card, sign, poster, social post or sticker, in PNG, JPG or PDF.
Show or hide any single photoOpen the menu on any photo or video and set it to public or hidden. Pair it with private mode to approve items one at a time.
Guest downloads, guestbook and comments on or off
Visitor analyticsHow many distinct people opened the link, plus uploads, downloads, video plays and guestbook posts over time.
Pro: every event in one accountUnlimited galleries under one subscription, with a storage limit per gallery and an optional budget cap.

Privacy and peace of mind

Encrypted in transit and at restEach gallery link is a unique private key, so only people with your link can get in.
Our AI runs on our own serversPhoto grouping and the content filter run on Warpbin's servers, so your photos aren't sent to OpenAI or Google. One exception: before the filter blocks an upload, a downsized copy gets a second check from Anthropic's Claude, so a false alarm doesn't cost a guest their photo.
30-day money-back guarantee
Automatic content moderationEvery photo and video is checked in the background against our content policy, so you don't have to sit and watch the gallery.
Deleted for good after a gallery endsFiles are permanently deleted 60 days after a gallery expires, which leaves time to extend it, or when you delete them yourself. Nothing is kept afterwards.
One-time plans: pay once, no subscription
Upgrade anytime, pay only the differenceNothing is lost, and you're never charged twice for the same space.

How we sourced this

Every figure attributed to another service was read off that service's own public pages on 2026-10-03, and the page it came from is named in the cell. Some pricing pages only show their plans after the page's scripts run, so we read those in a real browser, not just the raw HTML. Where we could not establish something from their own site — for example a page that contradicts itself — the cell says Not published rather than carrying a number we'd be guessing at.

Where a capability simply isn't mentioned in a service's marketing, the cell says Not advertised, not “No”. Absence from a marketing page is not evidence a feature is missing.

You can check us on this. Expand the source line under any cell to read the competitor's exact wording. Quotes that appear in a page's HTML are re-checked automatically against the live pages, so if a competitor rewrites one, the mismatch surfaces as a failure rather than sitting here quietly going stale. Figures that only appear once a page's scripts run are re-checked by hand.

Warpbin's own numbers on this page are generated from the same pricing configuration that drives checkout, so they cannot drift out of step with what you would actually be charged. Competitors do change their pricing without telling us; if you spot something stale here, tell us and we will re-check it.
