Textual vs GuestCam

GuestCam gives you a QR code. Textual brings every guest to the album.

GuestCam is a QR-code photo and video gallery. Standard is $49 with 12 months of storage, Premium $97 with 14, and finding yourself in the photos by selfie is a $45 add-on.

Textual includes a beautiful guest album with every wedding. Its link arrives in the texts guests already read, one tap with no app, and every photo is there by the morning after. $299 once, everything included.

For your guests

Kind to everyone’s phone.

One number to save
Every text comes from the same number, with a contact card so guests know it’s you.
Only what matters
Around five texts a weekend, each one something a guest would otherwise have asked.
Your words, approved
Nothing sends until you’ve read it, and you can change any message right up to the minute.
Easy to step away
Any guest can reply STOP and they won’t hear from us again.
