Where the two differ
- Guestlense's higher tiers are a printing service: thirty QR cards at $99, and fifty polaroid prints at $199. Galawall gives you the designs and you print them where you like, which is cheaper and slower.
- Guestlense separates a 3-month upload period from a 12-month download period. Galawall keeps a paid event for 365 days and does not split the two.
- Both work in a guest's browser with no app, and both show a live slideshow during the party.
When Guestlense is the better choice
If you would rather not deal with a printer at all, the $99 tier arrives with the cards already made, and at fifty prints the $199 tier is doing something Galawall does not do in any form. Weigh that against printing our designs at a local shop, which usually costs less than the difference between the tiers.
When Galawall is the better choice
Pick Galawall when you would rather choose your own printer. The designs come ready at the size a print shop expects, so you can put them on the paper you like, at the shop you like, usually for less than the difference between Guestlense's tiers. The rest of the money goes into the wall itself.
And there is one thing every service on this page has that we do not: a decision. Two tiers, three packages, eight guest bands. Galawall has one paid price, and the only thing left to choose is how the evening should look.
