GuestTale vs Guestreel
The Guestreel alternative that does not delete the album
Guestreel is the cheapest way onto this list at $69, and if you download everything the week after your event that is a perfectly good outcome. The problem is what happens if you do not.
Ninety days is the longest the album exists
That is the top plan; the $39 plan keeps files for thirty days. Most people do not open the download link in the fortnight after their own wedding, and the ones who do rarely have the disk space ready.
