Reveal is the digital disposable camera for your events. Create an album, display the QR code, and let your guests capture the celebration from every angle. Photos stay hidden during the event — then everything is revealed at once, at the time you choose. THE REVEAL MOMENT During the celebration, no one sees the photos: no passing phones around, no gallery to keep checking. When it’s time for the reveal, the entire gallery develops at once, like prints emerging from a darkroom. It’s the moment everyone has been waiting for. YOUR GUESTS JOIN IN SECONDS • They scan the QR code or open your link • They enter just their first name — no account needed • They land straight in your album, ready to take photos JUST LIKE SHOOTING ON FILM • A limited number of photos per guest: every shot counts • No editing, no filters: the celebration just as it happened • Every photo is credited to the guest who took it, using their first name YOUR EVENT, YOUR RULES • Choose the number of photos per guest • Schedule the end of the event and the reveal • As the host, view and delete photos at any time • Decide who can see the revealed gallery: everyone, or just you FOR ALL YOUR SPECIAL MOMENTS Weddings, birthdays, parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, trips with friends, New Year’s Eve, team building: every event has its own album, QR code, and rules.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Lense at 1.5K against Reveal's 8. Lense also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Reveal's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 71%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lense sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Reveal sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lense holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lense has 1.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Lense's written reviews are positive against 88% of Reveal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lense ships an update weekly, Reveal every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
