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.
What to compare
Whichever service you pick (Wedibox, another one, or us), these three points are what count once everyone has gone home.
- Viewable is not the same as fillable
Plenty of services close uploading well before the end of retention: the gallery can still be looked at, it can no longer be filled. Six months feel roomy on the day of the party; they feel less so when a guest rediscovers their videos while moving to a new phone. With Medley, as long as the album lives, it accepts uploads.
- Where are your files hosted?
Wedding photos are personal data, yours and your guests'. Medley hosts them in the European Union (in France, with OVH), under the GDPR, and writes it down in plain terms. A service that says nothing on the subject leaves you nothing to check.
- Which currency are you paying in?
A price shown in dollars is charged in dollars: the rate on the day, and sometimes a conversion fee from your bank, land on top of the advertised figure. Medley counts in euros. Either way, look at the currency of the checkout before you confirm, not at the number on the pricing page.

What Wedibox does well
Fair is fair: Wedibox does a great deal more than the album. Guest replies, a seating plan updated live, a wedding website with a gift list, voice messages, a slideshow, and a free tier that genuinely lets you try the thing. If what you want is to run the whole of the organising from a single QR code, that is a coherent offer. Our bias is the opposite one: a single job, collecting the photos and videos, with no countdown on uploading, and files that stay in the European Union.
