Turn your event into a shared disposable camera. Guests on iPhone join without downloading the app or making an account. Photos from your wedding, party or dinner stay hidden from guests until your chosen reveal time. Create an event in the iPhone app and share a QR code. At reveal, everyone in the event can open the shared gallery. Relive the event with a memory reel. Set it up your way: how many guests, how many shots each, a film look, and when the roll reveals. Guests scan the QR code and shoot in an App Clip, a light version of Aftercam that opens instantly; a name is all it asks for. Their photos upload privately, and nobody sees the roll while it is open. Not the guests, not you. After it closes, review it before the reveal if you want to. WHAT YOU GET • One private roll everyone contributes to • A film look chosen for the whole roll • A shot limit per guest, so people choose their moments • A memory reel made from the revealed gallery • Full-size downloads to keep HOSTING Small events are free. Larger guest counts are a one-time purchase made when you create the event — never a subscription, and the price is fixed before you pay. You can add guest capacity later to an event that is already open, and the QR code you printed stays valid. WHO CAN JOIN Hosting and photographing need an iPhone. After the reveal you can share the gallery by link, and it opens on the web. PRIVACY Photos are private to the event. Captures are re-encoded without location data. Hosts review the roll before it reveals and can remove a guest. Guests can erase what they contributed. Reported photos reach a monitored address.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Aftercam at none against Grid #'s shown. Aftercam also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Grid #'s advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Grid # sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Aftercam sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
