Comparison
PartyLab vs AirDrop
AirDrop is one Apple device to another, one file at a time. PartyLab collects photos from every guest — iPhone, Android, anything — all at once, from one QR code.

Why AirDrop breaks at events
🤖
Half your guests have Android
AirDrop is Apple-only. At a typical event, 40–60% of guests are on Android. They're locked out of every AirDrop transfer — and you still have to manually collect their photos another way.
🔵
One photo at a time, one person at a time
AirDrop is a one-to-one transfer. To collect photos from 80 guests means 80 separate AirDrop sessions — each requiring both devices to be unlocked, nearby, and in range. That's an hour of your party gone.
📡
Only works in Bluetooth range
The band is at the far end of the venue. Your family flew in from overseas and their photos are still on their phones. AirDrop only works if everyone is physically close. PartyLab works on any Wi-Fi or mobile connection, from anywhere.
Hosts who made the switch
★★★★★
“Half of my guests were on Android — AirDrop was never going to work. PartyLab got us 300 photos from 60 guests in one gallery. Couldn't believe how easy it was.”

Graduation party host
★★★★★
“I used to spend the week after events individually requesting photos from everyone. One QR code fixed that completely.”
Rachel K.
Corporate events manager
★★★★★
“The idea of individually AirDropping 90 wedding guests was a nightmare. PartyLab sorted it — QR code on every table, 500+ photos by midnight.”
