AI-Powered Event Photo Discovery vs QR Guest Uploads
GuestCam is built for collecting photos from guests with a QR code. 9Pic AI is built for high-volume event photo discovery—so attendees can find their photos instantly using selfie search (and bib search for races).
Feature-by-Feature Comparison
Find My Photos in Seconds
Selfie search for participants, bib number recognition for races, and fast browsing for massive galleries.
Collect Guest Photos via QR Code
Guests scan a QR/link and upload photos and videos into a private event album (no app required).
Selfie Search (Face Recognition)
Participants upload a selfie to instantly find their best shots—ideal for races, festivals, conferences, and big weddings.
Guest Uploads + Browsing
Designed around collecting guest media. Discovery is typically browsing-based (with optional add-ons depending on plan/features).
Pay-Per-Photo
$0.02 per photo — great for organizers and photographers who want costs to scale with actual usage.
Per-Event Packages
Pricing is typically per event (e.g., Premium is listed around $55 for up to 100 guests; promos may apply). See their latest pricing on GuestCam Pricing.

Designed for events where participants need fast, personalized discovery even when galleries are huge.
No App, No Guest Accounts

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 9Pic AI a good GuestCam alternative?
If your primary goal is helping attendees find their own photos quickly (especially at large events), yes. 9Pic AI is built around AI discovery (selfie search and bib search) rather than just collecting uploads.
Can I use 9Pic AI and GuestCam together?
Often, yes. Some organizers use GuestCam-style uploads for candid guest content and use 9Pic AI for professional photos where participants want fast “find my photos” discovery.
Which is more cost-effective: 9Pic AI or GuestCam?
It depends on your event and goals. GuestCam uses per-event packages (e.g., Premium around $55 for up to 100 guests). 9Pic AI uses pay-per-photo pricing ($0.02/photo), which can be more cost-effective for organizers with variable event volume or large photo sets.
