What to compare
Three points make the difference once the party is over, whichever service you pick.
- One offer, or tiers of options?
GuestPix works in plans, and several settings (colours, fonts, the upload window) climb with the tier. At Medley there is nothing to add up. The free trial accepts 20 photos or videos until 30 days after the event (one year at most), with every feature included; the Event plan, at 39 € once (launch price until December 31, 2026; 49 € for new purchases from January 1, 2027), includes 100 GB of storage per album with no limit on the number of photos and videos and keeps it for 2 years.
- How long are your photos kept?
At GuestPix the gallery is hosted for twelve months from the event, twenty-four on the bundled offer, with renewal possible. The album is kept for 2 years on the Event plan; an album still on trial is deleted 30 days after the event date (or after its creation, if the album has no event date or one earlier than its creation), and no later than one year after its creation.
- Where does your guests' data live?
On this one GuestPix plays fair: its privacy policy states GDPR compliance and names its storage countries: Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands. Three of them sit outside the European Union. Medley hosts everything in the EU, with OVH, and proves it.

What GuestPix does well
Fair is fair: GuestPix is an established and finished product. Uploading with no app through a QR code, signs you can customise, a guest book, a multilingual interface, prices shown in the currency you choose, and a privacy policy that names its storage countries rather than hiding them. If its tier model suits you and where the data lives does not weigh on your decision, it is a solid option.
