Which one fits your event?
Lense is a good choice if
- You love the disposable-camera idea, with limited shots and a delayed reveal.
- Your event is small: up to 7 guests is free.
- Guests may be offline: after joining, they can shoot without a connection and photos upload later.
Chivent is the better fit if
- You want videos included, at full length.
- You don't want to count guests or shots: one price covers everyone.
- You want guests to share the photos already on their phones, as many as they like.
- You want a designed album page, with templates, header layouts, colours and fonts.
- You'd like guest pages in 12 languages.
Chivent or Lense?
Is Chivent a good alternative to Lense?
Yes, if you want an album rather than a disposable camera: unlimited guests, photos and videos straight from camera rolls, and a live photo wall, at one price.
Do guests need an app for Lense?
They don't install one: on iPhone it opens as an App Clip, and elsewhere in the browser. On a computer, Lense asks guests to open the link on their phone. Chivent opens in any browser, on phones and computers.
How much does Lense cost for a wedding?
It depends on the guest count: €39.99 for 100 guests, €49.99 for 150 and €79.99 for 250, plus €9.99 for videos and about €10 for unlimited shots. Chivent's price doesn't depend on guests: from €19 once, and €49 for 12 months of unlimited uploads.
Can guests upload photos they already took?
Yes, on both. Lense takes camera-roll photos as well as shots from its camera. On Chivent, guests pick photos and videos from their camera roll, up to 500 at a time.
