An honest comparison
QR Wall vs GUESTPIX: Which memory wall fits the service?
- Pick QR Wall if
- written memories should appear on the screen next to the photos, you want a quiet Memorial theme, or someone must approve each post before the room sees it (Professional).
- Pick GUESTPIX if
- you want to pay once for a gallery with a slideshow, a video guestbook and up to a year or more of hosting.
Free to start, no card. Guests scan and share from their phone — no app.
Last checked October 2026 against GUESTPIX's own site.
Both let family and friends share photos for a funeral or celebration of life from their phones, with nothing to download, and both can show them on a screen: GUESTPIX lists a Live Slideshow of photos and videos on every package, including its free one. The difference is what the screen shows and how you pay. QR Wall puts guests' written messages on the wall beside the photos, has a Memorial theme (Premium) and, on Professional, AI moderation and an approval queue.
GUESTPIX is free for 50 photos with a 30-day upload window, then one-time packages from $39 (parties) or $49 (weddings) up to $119. QR Wall's free plan shows 5 posts at a time and keeps the first 30; Premium is $10.99 a month and can be cancelled right after the service.
GUESTPIX is a photo and video collection service with a live slideshow, a written and video guestbook and a downloadable gallery, sold as one-time packages. QR Wall is a live memory wall: guests scan a QR code and their photos and messages appear on the screen during the service, and the family keeps everything afterwards on paid plans.

Frequently asked questions
Is QR Wall a good GUESTPIX alternative?
Yes, if you want written memories on the screen as well as photos, a Memorial theme, or an approval step before anything is shown. GUESTPIX also has a live slideshow — on every package, including Free — and a written and video guestbook, sold as one-time packages. Pick it if you want to pay once for a gallery with a slideshow; pick QR Wall if the shared moment in the room is the point.
Does GUESTPIX show photos live on a screen during the service?
Yes. As of October 2026 GUESTPIX lists a Live Slideshow of photos and videos on every package, including the free one. QR Wall's wall also shows guests' messages as posts beside the photos, and runs in a Memorial theme on Premium.
Can we review what appears on screen at a memorial?
On QR Wall's Professional plan ($19.99/month), yes: turn on the approval queue and each photo and message waits for a one-tap approval on your phone, and AI moderation screens text, photos and video. On Premium you can remove any post in one tap. GUESTPIX lists Content Moderation on its paid packages; its site does not say whether posts are held before they show.
Does the family keep the photos afterwards?
With both, yes. GUESTPIX includes a full-resolution ZIP download, even on Free. On QR Wall, Premium and Professional let the family download every photo, video and message as one ZIP and share a gallery link with people who could not attend.
Can QR Wall collect photos before the service?
Yes. Share the wall link or QR code ahead of time — in a family chat or with the obituary — and people add photos and messages from anywhere. Everything gathered beforehand is on the wall when the service begins, and new contributions keep appearing during it.
What does QR Wall cost for a funeral or celebration of life?
You can start free: the free plan shows 5 posts on screen at a time and keeps the first 30 posts per wall, which suits a small gathering. Premium ($10.99/month) shows every post, adds the Memorial theme and the downloadable keepsake, and can be cancelled right after the service. Professional ($19.99/month) adds AI moderation, the approval queue and custom branding.
