Live slideshow.
Unlimited videos.
$0 per event
Eventoly charges $49-89 per event. Knipsmig gives you the same core features — live slideshow for big screens, unlimited photos and videos, QR code sharing — completely free.
Free forever • Live slideshow included • Unlimited photos & videos
Why pay $49-89 per event?
All three Eventoly plans have the same features. The price buys a longer window for guests to upload and a longer life for the album before it expires. Both clocks start on the event date. The full Eventoly price list has the fine print.
$49
Eventoly Starter
3 months of uploads, 6 months storage
$59
Eventoly Standard
6 months of uploads, 1 year storage
$89
Eventoly Pro
1 year of uploads, 2 years storage
$0
Knipsmig — Free forever
Unlimited photos, unlimited videos, live slideshow, QR codes, guest downloads. All free.
Optional one-time $89 upgrade for lifetime storage. That's less than one Eventoly Starter event.

Everything you actually need
Eventoly's premium features are nice. But these core features matter most — and they're all free on Knipsmig.
Live slideshow for big screens
Hook up a TV or projector and watch guest photos appear in real-time. Auto-advancing slideshow with smooth transitions.
Eventoly includes it too, from $49 per event. On Knipsmig it is on the free plan.
Unlimited video uploads
Guests can upload videos alongside photos — speeches, first dances, candid moments. MP4, WebM, MOV, up to 5 GB per file.
No per-file fees, no video limits, no "upgrade for video" upsells. Just upload.
QR code sharing
Every event gets a unique QR code instantly. Download as SVG or PNG for table cards, signs, or invitations.
Guests scan with their phone camera and upload directly — no app, no signup, no friction.
Real-time photo gallery
Photos and videos appear instantly for all viewers. No refreshing, no waiting. Watch the gallery fill up live during your event.
Built with modern real-time technology for instant updates.
The real cost over multiple events
Most people host more than one event. Here's how the costs stack up.
| Scenario | Knipsmig | Eventoly (Standard) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 wedding | $0 | $59 |
| 1 wedding + 1 birthday | $0 | $118 |
| 3 events per year | $0 | $177 |
| 3 events + lifetime storage | $89 | $267 (Pro × 3) |
Eventoly pricing based on publicly available rates as of 2026. Knipsmig's $89 lifetime upgrade covers all events forever.

Common questions
Does Knipsmig have a live slideshow like Eventoly?
Yes. Knipsmig includes a built-in live slideshow for TVs and projectors. Photos appear in real-time as guests upload them, with auto-advancing transitions. It's available on all plans — including the free plan. No extra charge.
Does Knipsmig support video uploads?
Yes. Unlimited video uploads — MP4, WebM, and MOV formats, up to 5 GB per file. Video support is a core feature included free. Guests can capture speeches, first dances, and candid moments alongside photos.
Why is Knipsmig free when Eventoly charges $49-89?
Different business models. I think collecting guest photos should be free, so the free plan has no upload or guest limits. The optional one-time upgrades, $29 to keep one event forever or $89 for every event, are what pay for the service. No per-event charges, no subscriptions.
What about Eventoly's sub-albums?
Knipsmig focuses on simplicity — one event, one shared album. If you want to separate "Ceremony" from "Reception," you can create multiple free events with different QR codes. Most people find one shared album works perfectly.
How long do photos stay on Knipsmig?
Free plan: 1 month from creation — plenty of time to download everything. Lifetime upgrade ($89): photos stored permanently. Compare that to Eventoly where even their most expensive plan ($89) only stores photos for 2 years.
Are Eventoly's reviews trustworthy?
They read as genuine and they praise real strengths. They are also published only on Eventoly's own site, with a homepage banner claiming 1,300+ reviews while the reviews page shows 49+. I went through them and the fine print they cannot cover on the Eventoly reviews page.
Can I customize the look like Eventoly?
Yes. Knipsmig offers color themes to personalize your event's upload page and slideshow. Choose from themes like Rose garden, Midnight, Ocean, and more. No custom fonts, but you get a beautiful, themed experience with faster setup and zero cost.
