Both solve the same problem — collecting your guests’ photos — with one core difference: with WedShoots every guest installs an app; with Fotara they scan and upload from the browser.

On price: it’s free with no memory limit, and it comes integrated if you already plan your wedding on the Bodas.net network. If your absolute priority is paying nothing and your guests don’t mind installing an app, it’s a legitimate option.
On participation: with no app or account, even the uncle who never installs anything uploads. And on video: 60 seconds and 320 MB versus 30 seconds — the whole first dance instead of half. Everything arrives in full resolution, downloadable with one button.
How many of your guests will install an app for a single night? Industry experience says many won’t, and each one who doesn’t is photos that never arrive. If that worries you more than paying zero, the answer is clear.
Questions
Yes — it’s sustained by Bodas.net (The Knot Worldwide) as part of its wedding platform. The cost is friction: every guest must install the app, and video cuts at 30 seconds.
Yes: the free plan includes 150 memories and one month of album, no card. Upgrade only if you need it, with a one-time payment.
If your circle already uses it, that friction disappears and WedShoots costs you nothing. Most wedding guests don’t have it — and that’s where the browser QR wins.
