Fotify at a glance
Fotify is the playful entrant in the QR-code wedding gallery category — its public gallery looks like a TikTok feed of vertical clips and photos, with built-in AI moderation that holds back anything questionable until you approve it. Guests upload from a browser, and the host gets a live feed they can project at the venue.
Where Fotify fits best
If your wedding is laid-back and you want a fun, social-media-style feed rather than a serious archive, Fotify hits a sweet spot. The AI moderation is genuinely useful for big, loose receptions where guests may upload things you'd rather not put on the big screen until you've seen them.
Where festbeam fits better
Fotify's real limitation isn't features — it's storage windows. The cheaper tier keeps your gallery for 90 days; the top tier stretches it to 365. After that, the gallery is gone, and re-downloading every original is on you. Video on the top tier is also capped to short clips, so a longer toast or first-dance reel can't live in the gallery in its full form.
festbeam keeps the gallery open up to 24 months on the Premium tier, accepts longer videos, and gives you a one-click ZIP of every original any time you want it. The aesthetic is more editorial than playful, but the feed view and live slideshow are still there if you want them.
If you're moving from Fotify
The most common reason to switch is realising the storage window is shorter than you'd like. Download whatever you can from Fotify before its window closes (Settings → Download All), open a fresh festbeam gallery, and upload the saved photos as a starter set so the new gallery isn't empty for guests revisiting it.
