Is a QR code photo gallery cheaper than a photo booth rental?

Generally yes — a QR gallery has no vendor booking, delivery, or attendant fees, while photo booths are typically priced as a fixed rental regardless of how many guests use them.

Do guests need to download an app to use a QR code gallery?

No. Guests scan the code with their phone's camera, and it opens a page in their browser where they can upload directly — no app, no account required.

Will a QR code gallery capture better-quality photos than a booth?

Not in the studio-lighting sense — booth photos are staged and consistently lit. A QR gallery instead captures a much larger volume of candid, real-moment photos from across the whole event.

Can we have both a photo booth and a QR code gallery at the same event?

Yes, and many hosts do — the booth gives a polished keepsake print, while the gallery collects everything else guests capture throughout the night.
