Where the two differ
- Video is the difference most people will feel. On Lense it is bought separately; on Galawall a guest can send a clip up to 25 MB without anyone buying anything else.
- Lense caps how many captures a guest may take unless the unlimited add-on is added. Galawall's paid plan has no cap.
- Lense keeps every plan for a year, including the free one, which is more generous than most of this market.
- Lense quotes in the reader's own currency; the bands we read were shown in Norwegian kroner, from 59 kr at twenty-five guests to 1,290 kr at five hundred.
When Lense is the better choice
Lense's free band covers a gathering of seven and still keeps the photographs for a year with a live slideshow, which is unusually good for nothing. For a small group that only wants stills, its lower bands undercut a flat per-event price comfortably. Add video and unlimited captures to a large party and the arithmetic turns the other way.
When Galawall is the better choice
Pick Galawall when video matters. The clips are the part people watch back years later — the speech, the first dance, the toast that went wrong — and here they are included, up to 25 MB each, with no cap on how many anyone sends. One payment of $49, nothing to add on.
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.
