Gooya charges for the event, then gives you a clear choice to keep the vault active after the three months included with The Event. No hidden guest accounts, no surprise storage promise, and no forever claim that quietly expires later.

How pricing works
Gooya is priced around a single event because weddings and parties are bought that way. The Event keeps your gallery for three months for downloading and sharing. If you want the vault to stay active longer, keep it a full year for $54.99.
What is included
Guests scan, capture, and send. The host gets a private album, downloadable files, and control over what is visible. The paid plans expand limits, styling, gallery count, and long-term keepsake handling.
Vault
Many event-photo tools expire galleries after a few months or a year. Gooya is explicit: The Event includes three months of storage, then a $54.99 yearly vault price if you want the gallery active for anniversaries and family sharing. The Keepsake includes a full year up front.
Optional add-on
Gooya stands on its own as a QR guest camera. Voice notes come from the same QR code on iPhone and Android, up to three per guest by default, and the host can switch voice off. They go only to the host. The After The Message vintage phone is a separate, optional rental for couples who want a handset guests pick up.

No. Guests scan one QR code and nobody installs an app or makes an account. On an iPhone in Safari, Gooya's own camera opens without downloading any app, with a dial of cameras: Reaction, Faces, Reel, Video, Photo, Boom and Rewind. Android phones, older iPhones and in-app browsers use the web camera, into the same private album. Guests can also send from their own library.
Not by default. Guests see nothing until the host sends the album (the default); then they can view and react for 24 hours. At the event they send their own memory, see that it landed, and go back to it. The private album belongs to the host.
Yes. The host can download the visible memories in one ZIP, including the original photo and video files Gooya stores for the event.
No. The Event fee includes three months of storage for viewing and downloading. The $54.99 yearly vault is for hosts who want the gallery to stay active longer as a keepsake.
Photos and videos cost real money to store. A clear vault price is more honest than promising forever storage and later forcing quiet expiry, quality reduction, or surprise limits.
“I cried when I saw my mom's reaction to the father-daughter dance — the dual camera caught the dance and her face in the same shot. I'd never have gotten that myself.”
“The best part was seeing real footage from real people, not just the photographer's version of the night.”
“It didn't dump hundreds of photos onto my phone and eat my storage — I got to pick exactly what I wanted to keep.”
