  • Do guests have to install an app?

    Every extra step means fewer photos.

    With Snaptagious

    No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera and add photos from the browser. There is no app to install and no account to create.

  • Is it one price, or does it keep charging?

    Look for renewals, per-guest fees and add-ons.

    With Snaptagious

    One payment per event: weddings £49, £89 or £149; parties and single games £29; corporate £99 or £299. No subscription and no per-guest fees. The only recurring charge is the optional custom web address.

  • Are guests and photos unlimited?

    A cap is easy to hit at a big event.

    With Snaptagious

    Yes. Unlimited guests and photos on every plan, so a 400-person reception costs the same as a dinner for 40.

  • How long do the photos stay online?

    This varies a lot from plan to plan, so check it before you pay.

    With Snaptagious

    Weddings 12 months (Basic and Premium) or 2 years (Luxe). Corporate 60 days or 90 days. Parties and single games 7 days. Any gallery can be extended by 90 days for £19, and every plan has a button to download all the photos at once.

  • What happens at the event itself?

    Guests upload more when there is something to do.

    With Snaptagious

    A live slideshow for the venue screen on every plan (a framed version on Wedding Luxe and corporate Pro), AI photo games with a live leaderboard, and 30-second video clips. Weddings, parties and youth sports also get an audio guestbook, and Wedding Premium and Luxe add DJ song requests.

  • Can guests find their own photos and order keepsakes?

    This is what turns a pile of photos into something people keep.

    With Snaptagious

    On Wedding Premium and Luxe, guests can opt in with a selfie to find every photo of themselves (over-18s only, switched off for events with children, deleted when the gallery expires). On every plan, guests can order prints, canvases and photo books straight from the gallery.

  • Can it run the rest of the event?

    One link is easier for guests than three.

    With Snaptagious

    RSVPs on weddings and corporate events. Wedding Premium and Luxe can have several celebrations (mehndi, sangeet, ceremony, reception), each with its own QR code and gallery. Wedding Luxe and the corporate plans can have a web address like yourname.snaptagious.com.

  • How private and safe is it?

    These are your guests’ photos, and some may be children.

    With Snaptagious

    Galleries are private and never listed by search engines. Photos get an automatic safety check, and if it cannot run the photo is held for the host to review instead of being shown. Face data is processed in the UK and deleted when the gallery expires. We are UK-based and handle data under UK and EU GDPR.

Choosing an event photo app: questions

How long should an event photo gallery stay online?+

For a wedding, at least 12 months is sensible, because couples go back to the photos around their anniversary and when ordering a book. For a party or a match, a week or two is usually enough if you download the photos. Snaptagious keeps wedding galleries for 12 months or 2 years, corporate galleries for 60 days or 90 days, and party and single-game galleries for 7 days, and any gallery can be extended by 90 days.

Do guests need to install an app?+

No. Guests scan the QR code and upload from their phone’s browser. There is nothing to download and no account to create.

Is face recognition safe to use at a wedding?+

It can be, if it is opt-in. In Snaptagious each guest chooses to take a selfie, must be over 18, can delete their face data at any time, and the feature is switched off for events that may include children. Face matching runs on AWS in London, and the data is deleted when the gallery expires.

How much does an event photo app cost?+

Snaptagious is a one-off payment per event, with no subscription and no per-guest fees: £29 for a party or a single game, from £49 for a wedding and from £99 for a corporate event. Prices are the same number in pounds, dollars and euros.

Can I try it before I pay?+

Yes. There is a free demo with 20 photos for 30 days and no card needed. If you buy a plan and your guests have not started uploading, you can have a full refund within 14 days.
