Kululu vs EventSnap 2026: Honest Comparison (Which Should You Choose?)

If you are planning an event in 2026, you know that asking guests to download a custom app just to share photos is a recipe for low participation. QR Code Photo Sharing is the modern way to go.

You've likely come across Kululu, a massive player in the space known for its digital albums and live slideshows. But before you pay, you should consider a modern alternative: EventSnap.

While both services let guests upload photos via a QR code without downloading an app, they handle your data and pricing very differently. Let's compare them.

The Core Difference: Where Do Your Photos Go?

• Kululu hosts your photos on their centralized servers. You view them on their platform, and you are subject to their storage limits and eventual gallery expiration.
• EventSnap operates on a "Bring Your Own Storage" model. Photos are sent directly to your Google Drive. We don't host your memories—we just build the bridge. You own everything instantly.

Feature Comparison Table

1. Data Ownership & Privacy

Kululu stores all wedding, corporate, and birthday photos on its own servers. That means you are trusting a third-party company to keep your private memories safe.

EventSnap is built for privacy. We use a zero-retention architecture. When a guest uploads a photo, it travels securely to your personal Google Drive in real-time. This model guarantees that your photos are private, secure, and under your complete control from moment one.

2. Live Slideshow Capabilities

Kululu heavily promotes its Live Slideshow feature—and it's a great tool! Projecting guest photos onto a wall as they are taken is a fantastic way to engage the crowd.

EventSnap also includes a beautiful Live Slideshow feature. Even though the files live in your Google Drive, EventSnap provides a sleek, automated presentation link that refreshes with new photos in real-time. Plus, EventSnap includes a robust Moderation Queue, letting you approve photos from your phone before they hit the big screen.

3. Pricing: Cost vs. Value

Kululu is a premium service, and their pricing reflects that. Because they endure the massive server costs of hosting high-resolution photos and videos, they have to pass that cost to the customer.

EventSnap leverages the 15GB of free storage you already have with your Google account. Because our server costs are near zero, we offer a completely Free Starter Plan (up to 50 uploads) so you can test the waters. Even our unlimited upload plans are significantly cheaper than the competition because you are "bringing your own storage."

Verdict: Which One Wins?

Choose Kululu if:

• You don't use Google Drive.
• You prefer to view your photos exclusively through a proprietary web app.

Choose EventSnap if:

• You want full ownership of your high-resolution photos and videos safely in Google Drive.
• You want the exact same features (QR Code, Live Slideshow, No App) at a fraction of the cost.
• You care deeply about data privacy and zero-retention storage.
• You want to try a Free Plan before committing.

For modern hosts in 2026, the peace of mind that comes with direct-to-Drive technology makes EventSnap the smartest Kululu alternative on the market.
