Comparison
Galeira vs WedUploader
WedUploader pioneered the 'guests upload via QR' format and is still a fine pick for a one-night event. Galeira adds the part WedUploader doesn't: mirror every upload to a cloud account you already own, so the photos outlive any vendor.
WedUploader positions itself as: “Wedding photo sharing app for guests”
