EventFrame vs Kululu: upload counts vs gigabytes
Kululu and EventFrame agree on a lot: guests should scan a QR and upload from the browser with no app, and the photos should hit a live wall in the room. The interesting difference is how each one draws the limits — and it’s a textbook example of the two ways to price event photo sharing.
Competitor details below are from Kululu’s public pages and published reviews as of July 2026 — always confirm current terms with them.
Kululu’s model: counts and clocks
As of mid-2026, Kululu’s tiers are defined by number of uploads and an active event
window: a free plan with around 100 uploads and a few active hours, a mid tier ($39) around 500
uploads over a week, and a pro tier ($99) with unlimited uploads over a longer window. The live
Photo Wall — a web link you open on any TV or projector — is the headline feature, and it’s good.
A genuinely useful free tier for small get-togethers is also more than many competitors offer.
But notice what an upload count assumes. 500 uploads might be 500 photos (~2 GB) or 500 phone videos (hundreds of GB) — a count-based cap only works if video stays rare, and top-tier “unlimited” leans on the same quiet assumptions every unlimited plan does. We’ve written up what “unlimited photos” actually means if you want the economics; the short version is that the limit never disappears, it just moves.
EventFrame’s model: gigabytes
EventFrame sizes an event in GB of original-quality storage (plans from €19 — current tiers on the pricing page). Photos and videos count the same way, because a gigabyte is a gigabyte. Every file is stored as your guest uploaded it — full resolution, metadata intact — at every tier, and the whole event exports as one ZIP of originals. If the event outgrows the plan, you top up storage or time in one tap; there’s no mid-event upgrade wall and no subscription.
The event window works the same transparent way: your plan states how long the gallery stays up, and extending it is a top-up, not a renegotiation.
Beyond the pricing model
The guest page is designable, not just brandable. Kululu lets you customize the album’s title, date, colors, and background. EventFrame ships a drag-and-drop designer for the entire guest site — cover, sections, layout, per-QR language — so the page guests land on is built for your event, not decorated.
Moderation is a system, not a delete button. With a wall on the projector, someone has to keep it safe. EventFrame runs uploads through automatic screening with a moderation queue, and you can invite co-admins to curate albums with you.
Both have a real live wall. Kululu’s Photo Wall and EventFrame’s Spotlight wall solve the same problem the same way — a URL you open on any screen. Neither side wins this row; it’s the rest of the table that differs.

Which should you pick?
Pick Kululu if a small event fits inside the free tier, or if upload counts map neatly to your event (photo-first, short, predictable). Pick EventFrame if you want the limit stated in the only unit that’s honest about video — gigabytes — with originals guaranteed at every price, a designable guest page, and moderation that can keep a public wall clean.
