Wedbox alternative
A Wedbox alternative with no app to install
Wedbox has been around since 2016 and does the job, but every guest has to download the app, create a profile and join the album. With Evokly, they scan a QR code and drop their photos in fifteen seconds.
What is the best alternative to Wedbox for wedding photos?
A web gallery reached through a QR code, with no installation and no account. At a wedding with mixed ages, installing an app loses part of the guests, while a gallery that opens in the browser gets much higher participation. Evokly adds facial recognition so each guest finds their photos, photo challenges and a guestbook, with data hosted in the European Union.

Why look for an alternative to Wedbox
The install loses guests
Downloading Wedbox, creating a profile and joining the album with a code: three steps that older guests and those with a full phone do not get through. With Evokly, the gesture asked is the one from a restaurant menu: scanning a QR code.
Retrieval depends on the plan
Depending on your Wedbox plan, the photos you get back are not always in original resolution. Evokly keeps files exactly as they left the phone and returns the whole event in a single download on the Event plan.
Finding yourself among 800 shots
In Wedbox, every guest scrolls the album. With Evokly, they take a selfie, with their consent, and see only the photos they appear in.
When to stay with Wedbox
Stay with Wedbox if the live slideshow during the party is your priority, if your wedding gathers guests from several countries who need the app in their language, or if your guests are few and all comfortable with apps.
Frequently asked questions
Do guests need to install an app with Evokly?
No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera, the gallery opens in the browser and they add their photos in seconds. No download, no account.
How much does Evokly cost for a wedding?
The free plan covers one event, 100 photos, 10 contributors and 15 days online. The Event plan, €69 paid once, lifts those limits, keeps the gallery for six months and adds facial recognition, photo challenges and the guestbook.
Do photos keep their original quality?
Yes. Files are kept exactly as they left the phone, without compression, and the organiser downloads the whole event in a single file on the Event plan.
Does Evokly offer a live slideshow like Wedbox?
Evokly offers a best-of of the event and a gallery that fills up in real time, viewable on any screen. The animated slideshow with reactions, as Wedbox offers, is not an Evokly feature.
