Two wedding album platforms — differences in price, features and archive. Which one fits your wedding, in an honest side-by-side.
Storpix is an established professional wedding photo platform with AI face recognition and a 1-year archive. LiveAlbum is a newer player: roughly half the price, a 1-year archive and transparent one-time pricing. If AI face recognition is critical and budget allows, choose Storpix; if you care about a modern UI and transparent one-time pricing at lower cost, choose LiveAlbum. Both are real platforms — the call depends on your priorities and budget.
Honest competitor comparisons matter. Storpix has been in the market longer than us and is genuinely more mature in a few areas:
Storpix's strongest feature — after the wedding, every guest automatically finds the photos they're in. Mature here; not yet available in LiveAlbum.
They've worked with professional photographers and event firms for years. Bulk and B2B flows are ready.
Storpix has been operating for years; their reference list, customer support and event-firm partnerships are more established than LiveAlbum's.

You're planning a 200-guest wedding. What's the total package cost?
Varies with the package and add-ons. Bundled with a professional photographer package, it can come out cheaper.
The Pro plan is a single one-time payment — roughly half the cost. No cap on guests or photos, and no auto-renewal: one transparent, tax-inclusive price.
You want each guest to automatically see their own photos.
AI face recognition is a core feature. A guest uploads a selfie, AI returns every frame they appear in. Mature.
AI face recognition is on the roadmap, not live yet. Instead, the album is sorted by date + time from the start; guests can scrub through their section easily.
Design and ease of use matter to you.
A classic web UI — functional but behind modern web standards. Users tell us it "feels a little dated".
Built from scratch with Tailwind v4 + Next.js 15. The "Evening Garden" palette, Manrope + Instrument Serif typography; editorial aesthetics at print quality.
Your guest wants to upload a photo in the venue without Wi-Fi.
Web-based upload works, but the mobile layout is optimised for desktop first.
Built mobile-first with PWA mindset. Offline queue (coming soon); automatic retry on weak connections.
After the wedding, you want to download the photos and keep them long-term.
Standard archive is 1 year; extension costs extra. When the term ends, the link closes.
1 year on AWS Frankfurt on the Business and Duo Package plans. One click to download the original-quality ZIP any time and keep it in your own archive forever.
On wedding morning you panic because the QR isn't working.
Call centre + email support available. A professional customer relations team.
WhatsApp + email support. On wedding day, "red alert" priority; every ticket answered within 1 hour.
Yes — the LiveAlbum Pro plan comes in at roughly half the price of Storpix. LiveAlbum is sold as a single, tax-inclusive one-time payment with no cap on guests or photos and no auto-renewal.
No — AI face recognition is on the roadmap, whereas it's a mature feature in Storpix (a guest uploads a selfie and the AI finds every frame with that face). In LiveAlbum the album is ordered by date and time from the start, so guests can scan the section they want easily. If face recognition is critical for you, Storpix is the better fit.
Storpix uses a classic, functional web interface, and users note it feels a bit dated. LiveAlbum was built from scratch with Next.js 15 + Tailwind v4; its 'Evening Garden' palette and editorial typography deliver a modern, print-grade experience.
Both platforms offer a standard 1-year archive; on Storpix the link closes when it expires and extensions cost extra. With LiveAlbum's Business and Duo plans, photos sit on AWS Frankfurt for a year, and you can download a ZIP at original quality anytime to keep in your own archive forever.
Storpix offers a call centre and email support. LiveAlbum provides WhatsApp and email support, with a 'red alert' priority on the wedding day and a commitment to respond to every ticket within an hour.
