- Guests can use a QR code or link without installing a dedicated app.
- Both products collect photos and videos from guest phones.
- Both provide a private event album and live-display options.
- Both offer one-time event plans rather than requiring a wedding subscription.

Choose Folded when
Choose Folded when the wedding upload flow should stay focused: one QR code, one private gallery, unlimited guest contributions, host moderation, and one download afterward. It is also the clearer fit when you want the product language and setup centered on weddings rather than conferences, parties, and other event formats.
Choose Kululu when
Choose Kululu when the live photo wall is the center of the event experience or when guest captions, likes, and text posts matter. Kululu also has business plans for organizers who run multiple event types. Check the upload allowance and access window of the exact plan you intend to use.
Run the guest test before deciding
Create a trial event in each product, open the guest link in a private browser window, and upload a photo plus a representative video. Then compare the number of taps, what guests can see, moderation controls, download format, and the deadline for late uploads. That test is more useful than comparing marketing adjectives.
Make the ask easy
Collect the photos guests actually took.
Give guests one QR code, let them upload from the browser, and keep the gallery under your control. Photos, videos, late uploads, and one download when you are ready.
