Where each app wins

Choose disposable.photo if…

  • Guests can join from any phone — no app install required
  • You want the suspense of a blind reveal at the end of the night
  • You want a free tier with real photos, not a trial
  • You want per-guest shot limits to keep the roll curated

Choose Scene if…

  • You want a live social feed guests scroll during the event
  • Everyone at your event already has the app installed
  • You don't mind asking guests to create an account
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.
