Genuine advantages worth knowing
Why photographers choose mAlbum
The difference compounds fast as event size grows. These are upload costs only — mAlbum also lets you recoup costs through photo sales.
Yes. mAlbum charges ₹0.10 per photo uploaded — AccioPix charges ₹0.20 per photo, making mAlbum exactly 2x cheaper. For a 1,000-photo event, mAlbum costs ₹100 vs AccioPix's ₹200. At 10,000 photos the gap is ₹1,000.
mAlbum supports WhatsApp sharing via QR codes — photographers share an event link or QR code that guests open in any browser. AccioPix delivers photos directly inside WhatsApp chat, which is a more native experience for guests but limits how photos are displayed and sold.
No. mAlbum charges 0% commission on photo sales. You pay ₹0.10 per photo to upload, and every rupee guests pay for downloads goes directly to you. AccioPix is a delivery platform — it does not offer a photo sales or download purchase feature.
mAlbum offers a dedicated ₹1,000/event couples plan designed specifically for weddings, along with 0% commission on photo sales. AccioPix's WhatsApp-native delivery can be simpler for guests who are already on WhatsApp. mAlbum is better if you want to monetise the wedding album; AccioPix is better if frictionless WhatsApp delivery is the single priority.
