# DropSnaps vs POV

> POV is a digital disposable camera: you choose how many shots each guest gets and when the photos reveal, and the price depends on your guest count, in US dollars. DropSnaps is built for sharing everything guests took: no shot limit on paid plans, video on paid plans, a live wall and TV slideshow, a guest book, and one price per event in pounds.

We make DropSnaps. Everything about POV comes from its own website (https://pov.camera), checked on 7 October 2026 as a UK visitor sees it. Prices and plans change, so check before you buy. https://dropsnaps.com/compare/pov
