Looking for a Kwikpic alternative? How to choose a wedding photo sharing app
A Kwikpic alternative is any wedding photo sharing app where guests find their photos with a selfie. Compare them on the price for a season's photos, a free start, whether guests need an app, guest uploads, WhatsApp, album selection, reels and branding. ShaadiMode's first wedding is free up to 5,000 photos, then from ₹2,999 a year.
Checklist
What should you check before choosing a wedding photo sharing app?
What does a year cost for the photos you actually shoot?
Plans count photos or gigabytes. Divide the price by a season's photos, guest shots included.
ShaadiMode: Starter ₹2,999 for 25,000, Pro ₹6,999 for 1,00,000, Studio ₹13,999 for 2,50,000 a year + GST; ₹999 for 10,000 more.
Can you try it on a real wedding first?
A demo gallery tells you nothing about matching at a dark sangeet.
ShaadiMode: Your first wedding is free, up to 5,000 photos.
Do guests need to install anything?
Every install step loses guests, elders first.
ShaadiMode: No. Guests open a link from WhatsApp or the venue QR and take one selfie.
Who sees which photos?
Indian families are careful about who sees the mehendi and haldi photos.
ShaadiMode: Guests see only photos they are in plus what you or the couple make public; the couple can turn face search off.
When do guests see their photos?
Some couples want photos live; others want them after a cull.
ShaadiMode: Live, after each function or at 9 AM the next morning, set per wedding; up to 20 sneak-peek photos per function the same day.
Can guests add their own photos, safely?
Guest phones catch the candid moments, but nothing should go public unchecked.
ShaadiMode: Yes. The guest camera's shots wait for your OK before anyone else sees them.
Does it help you get the next booking?
Every guest is a future client.
ShaadiMode: Your name is on the gallery, the venue wall and every guest reel; on Pro, guests can leave their details as leads.
Does the couple's album selection live in the same place?
Picks sent as file numbers on WhatsApp go wrong.
ShaadiMode: Yes: the couple marks must-have, pick or skip with notes; you get a list for Lightroom and a zip.
