The honest breakdown: free plan vs. the one-time upgrade
Searching for a free anniversary photo app mostly turns up free trials: apps that collect your card details and start charging monthly a week later. We built the free plan differently — you should be able to collect photos from a family celebration without a recurring bill attached. The free plan asks for no payment details at any point.
The limits are real, so here they are plainly. Free means up to 20 photos per guest, photos only — guests cannot upload videos — and your gallery is stored for 7 days, enough time to download everything the week after. For a smaller anniversary gathering that is a complete solution.
The paid plan exists for celebrations that outgrow those limits: a one-time $19.99 per event — no subscription — with unlimited photos and videos, video uploads up to 200 MB, 6 months of storage, and AI photo tagging. Anniversary galleries, especially for milestones like a 25th or 50th, are often given as a keepsake gift afterward — the longer storage window matters more here than for most events.
