Choose Folded when
Folded is the stronger value when unlimited photo and video uploads, a private gallery, and original-quality ZIP download are the core requirements and you want to start at $39. The Forever plan also includes three event slots for a wedding weekend with separate events.
Choose Pix Wedding when
Pix Wedding may be the better fit when its longer published upload and storage windows or plan-specific extras matter more than entry price. Its current Standard and Pro plans add features such as a live slideshow, sub-albums, audio guestbook tools, multiple admins, or a custom domain.
Make the decision with a real upload
Because the guest flows are similar, create a trial in both products and compare organizer setup, gallery controls, mobile upload feedback, video handling, download preparation, and the exact dates when uploads and storage end.
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.
