Where each app wins

Choose disposable.photo if…

  • You want the disposable-camera surprise instead of live browsing
  • You want guests focused on the moment, not searching for their face
  • You want hard shot limits per guest
  • You want a free tier that's actually usable

Choose GuestCam if…

  • You want guests to find their own photos via facial recognition
  • You need multiple parallel galleries for the same event
  • You're fine with a live feed during the event
The key difference

Only disposable.photo shoots blind

Every other shared event app turns your phone into a live feed. Guests scroll, judge, retake — the night becomes about the gallery instead of the moment.

disposable.photo locks the album. Guests get a handful of shots, point, click, and walk away. Nobody sees a photo — not even the person who took it — until you reveal the roll.

When you finally unlock it, every photo lands at once. It's the disposable-camera surprise, rebuilt for phones.
