Photo Jelly is an AI-powered photo sharing and event management platform. It lets event planners, photographers, and organisations create events, collect media from guests, and automatically deliver photos to each guest using facial recognition — via WhatsApp or web, with no app download required for guests.

Who is Photo Jelly for?

Photo Jelly is designed for personal event hosts, professional photographers, wedding planners, and enterprise teams who need a seamless way to collect, manage, and share event media at scale.

How does AI facial recognition work?

Guests upload a selfie once. Photo Jelly' AI matches them to every photo they appear in and delivers those images privately via WhatsApp or the web gallery — never the full album.

Yes. Photo Jelly offers a free plan to host your first event. Paid plans add Cam-Link, AI editing, WhatsApp Bot, higher storage, and enterprise features.

Honest comparison · No-app group albums

GuestCam alternative

GuestCam’s real advantage is friction: no app, no account, one shared gallery — billed per event, not a year. Faces are MagicFind, $45 extra. Photo Jelly also lets guests contribute on the web, then adds recognition, WhatsApp, and photographer tools because the album is supposed to be usable at a thousand files.

Two different jobs

GuestCam is built for Groups that just need everyone to drop photos in one place with zero install. Photo Jelly is built for the event: ingest, face delivery, WhatsApp, and a photographer in the loop.

Choose GuestCam if

Under a couple of hundred photos, friends only.
You refuse to make anyone sign in.
A shared pile is a feature, not a bug.

Choose Photo Jelly if

Thousands of files, hired photographer, or both.
People should not see photos they are not in.
You need WhatsApp or live ingest.

GuestCam sells a gallery per event: Standard $49 or Premium $97, unlimited guests and photos, no subscription. MagicFind — every guest their photos from a selfie — is $45 more.

For a reunion of 40 people, “just dump it here” is the correct UX. GuestCam is honest about that. For a wedding of 400, an unsorted shared gallery is how people give up unless you add MagicFind.

Photo Jelly is a year of unlimited events with find-yourself on Go. Do not pick Photo Jelly if you wanted GuestCam’s simpler per-event gallery. Do not pick GuestCam if you hired a photographer and promised guests their photos without paying the face add-on every time.

What each does well

GuestCam

No app, no account

The lowest bar for a group to contribute. That is a genuine feature, not a missing one.

One shared pile

Everyone sees everything — simple mental model.

Group gatherings

Fit for friends and families who do not need AI or a studio.

Photo Jelly

Sorting at volume

Facial recognition when 1,000 files is not browsable.

Private sets

Guests can receive what they appear in, not the whole dump.

Pro ingest

Cam-Link and desktop for the official shooter.

Feature by feature

Shared work sits in the table. An add on is something GuestCam does not include — Photo Jelly does. Hover the badge.
