Waldo Photos alternative: Vajrun compared honestly
Updated 25 Oct 2026
Waldo Photos is an AI photo and video sharing app for events that uses face and jersey recognition and sends photos by text or app alert. Vajrun is an event photo delivery tool for photographers: guests scan a QR, take a selfie and get only their own photos, after an AI clean-up, with their name stamped on each photo. Pick by what you need most at your events.
