Picsui vs The Guest App
Purpose-built for photos.

The Guest App was a wedding planner with basic photo sharing. Picsui is built from the ground up for event photo collection with live slideshow, livestreaming, and AI moderation — no app download needed.

Update (July 2026): The Guest has reportedly shut down

The Guest app's website is currently unreachable and third-party reports indicate the service has closed. If your wedding or event was counting on The Guest, Picsui is ready today — a one-time Event Pass, no app for your guests to download, and setup in under 60 seconds.

What The Guest App offered

We believe in honesty. While it was operating, The Guest App was a reasonable fit in certain situations.

  • Full wedding planning tools

    It bundled RSVPs, seating charts, and guest management into one app, covering the planning basics.

  • App-friendly guest lists

    For tech-savvy crowds who didn't mind downloading another app, its photo feature worked alongside the planning tools.

  • All-in-one wedding planning

    For couples who cared more about budgets, timelines, and vendor management than photo sharing, its broader scope could fit.

With The Guest reportedly gone, Picsui covers the part that matters most on the day — purpose-built photo sharing with live slideshow, AI moderation, and zero app friction.

Pair Picsui with any wedding planning tool for the best of both worlds.
