How Vajrun differs
Vajrun is built around one moment: guests at the venue scan a QR, take a selfie and get only their own photos, cleaned up and with their name on each one, while the family sees the full set first.
Pixieset is built around delivering a gallery to the client who hired you. Selfie face search for hundreds of guests and QR access at the venue were not stated on the pages we checked.

Questions people ask
Is Vajrun cheaper than Pixieset?
Vajrun is quoted after a short demo, based on how many events you shoot and their size, and is in early access. Compare it against your actual event volume rather than list prices.
Can I use Vajrun alongside Pixieset?
Yes. Many photographers keep their existing gallery or culling tool and use Vajrun only for delivering photos to guests at events.
