WedShoots alternative
Chivent vs WedShoots. No app to install, and videos on the photo wall.
WedShoots is a free app from the Bodas.net, Hitched and WeddingWire family. Every guest installs it and registers, videos are limited to 30 seconds, and the projection shows photos only. Chivent costs $19 and up, but guests scan a QR code with their phone camera and share photos and videos from the browser.
7 days, 20 photos and videos, no card. Facts about WedShoots from its own website, checked 2 November 2026.
