Lense alternative
A Lense alternative for collecting guest photos
Lense is a disposable-camera style event app: guests get a set number of shots, with filters and a delayed reveal. PartyLab gives your guests one QR code to upload photos and videos from their phone browser into a live gallery you can download in original quality.
Packages from $44.99 USD · Purchase before guest uploads · One payment per event
The short answerLense is great value for small groups that want the disposable-camera feel. PartyLab collects every photo and video guests take, with no shot limits, and includes video, approval and guest emails in every package.

Common questions
Does PartyLab limit how many photos each guest takes?
No. Package limits cover the whole event, for example 2,000 uploads on Starter, not a per-guest count.
Why are Lense's prices in Australian dollars here?
Lense showed us its prices in Australian dollars when we checked. Your region may see a different currency.
Can PartyLab hide photos until after the event?
Not as a timed reveal. You can turn on approval so nothing appears until you approve it.
