The short answer
GuestPix is a QR code photo and video gallery: guests scan, upload from their browser and the couple gets everything in one place, with extras like a live slideshow and digital invitations on some packages. Mission Memories is a photo game: guests complete missions and compete on a live leaderboard, and every photo lands in one gallery.

The big difference
GuestPix is a well-featured album: a place for photos to land, with a slideshow and wedding extras around it. Mission Memories is about getting the photos taken in the first place. A shared album depends on guests remembering to use it; missions and a leaderboard give them a reason to, and pull quieter guests into the fun.
What guests do
- GuestPix: scan the QR code and upload photos and videos from the browser.
- Mission Memories: scan the QR code, make a quick free account, pick a mission, upload a photo for it and see your score on the leaderboard.
Choose GuestPix if…
- you want a polished shared album with a live slideshow at the venue
- you'd like digital invitations and RSVPs in the same place
- you want the gallery hosted for a year
Choose Mission Memories if…
- you want guests to take more photos, not just store them
- you'd like a game for the drinks reception and evening
- you want a recap for every guest and a leaderboard winner to announce
- you're on a budget: up to 120 guests is £19.99
Can you use both?
You could, but guests are more likely to use one QR code than two. If the live slideshow matters most, GuestPix covers it; if getting everyone involved matters most, Mission Memories does.
