How Once Works: 1. Create a film for your event and set the rules 2. Share a QR code or link so guests can join in seconds (No download needed for guests) 3. Everyone shoots in the moment with limited shots per person 4. Photos unlock together at the time you choose, ready to relive and save Why Hosts Choose Once: - QR join, no friction: Guests can join with or without the app via App Clip. - Shared camera for the whole group: Centralize every candid and POV in one place. - Limited shots = better photos: Scarcity encourages thoughtful, story-driven captures. - Delayed reveal: Unlock photos at event end or a custom time to keep guests present. - Private by default: You control access, visibility, and downloads. - Host controls: Set shot limits, reveal mode (instant or delayed), and participant caps. - Download everything: Save full galleries to your device or archive them for later. - Beautiful “film” feel: Subtle, tasteful looks that keep skin tones and ambience true. Perfect For: - Weddings and receptions - Bachelor/Bachelorette parties and showers - Birthdays and reunions - Group trips and retreats - Team offsites - School events, clubs, and fundraisers We Care About Your Privacy: Your event gallery is private by default and controlled by the host. We do not sell your data. See our Privacy Policy at once.film/privacy. Support: Questions or feedback? Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@once.film Life happens only Once. Make sure to capture every angle of it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: EkteTid at none against Once's shown. On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
