Picsta vs Kwikpic
Kwikpic and Picsta both sort a wedding by face. The difference is what the guest has to do first. On Picsta, nothing: open the link, take a selfie, see your photos.
Pick Picsta if
You want guests to open a link and find themselves without downloading anything, you shoot multi-day weddings, your brand should be on every guest page, and you want one flat yearly price in rupees, pounds or dollars.
The trade-off with Kwikpic
Every guest has to install the Kwikpic app and register before they see a single photo, billing is in rupees only, and GST sits on top of the yearly price.
Why people compare them
Both promise the same moment: a guest sees only their own photos. Picsta removes the step in between. There is no app for guests to install, no registration to finish, and the same link works for the cousin in Delhi and the aunt in Leicester.
