DropSnaps vs Kululu
Kululu and DropSnaps both put guests' photos on a live wall from a QR code, with no app. Kululu's free plan suits a one-night party (uploads close after 24 hours and photos are kept for 7 days), and its paid plans are in US dollars before tax, with a 500-upload cap on Plus. DropSnaps keeps photos for 12 months on paid plans and is priced in pounds with VAT included.
