**In short:** they solve different problems. Dispo88 is a disposable camera: guests shoot in the moment from their phone's browser, and each photo develops for an hour with a film look. GuestCam is a gallery guests upload to, from their camera roll, with video, an audio guestbook and face search. Dispo88 is free for 88 photos, $8.88 CAD for unlimited photos, or $39 CAD for an Event camera. GuestCam starts at $49 per event.

Yes, we make Dispo88, so keep that in mind. Everything about GuestCam comes from its own website as of October 2026. Prices change, so check before you buy.

## Where Dispo88 fits better

- **Candid photos from the night itself.** A disposable camera gets people shooting during the party, not sorting their camera roll a week later. Nobody can review shots, so photos stay unposed.
- **The film look and the wait.** Every photo gets a film-style colour grade and develops for an hour, which is half the fun.
- **Price.** Unlimited photos from any number of guests for $8.88 CAD, or every event tool for $39 CAD.

## Where GuestCam fits better

- **Collecting everything afterwards.** If you mostly want guests' existing camera-roll photos and videos in one place, an upload gallery is the right tool. (Dispo88 Event cameras can also accept camera-roll photos, if the host turns it on.)
- **Video and voice.** GuestCam includes video and an audio guestbook. Dispo88 is photos only.
- **Finding yourself.** GuestCam's MagicFind matches guests' selfies to photos they appear in.

## Use both?

Plenty of couples do: a disposable camera on the tables for candid shots during the reception, and an upload gallery for the photos people took on their own. The two don't overlap much.
