What do TBT and Lense have in common?

Both are built around the same insight: give event guests a limited-shot camera via QR code and collect everything into one album, instead of hoping people send their photos afterwards. Both aim at weddings and organized events.

What makes TBT different from Lense?

TBT's structural bets: one flat $149 price per event with unlimited guests, paid only after the host has seen the full watermarked album; no-download entry (browser camera on Android, App Clip on iPhone); and richer rolls - clips, voice wishes for the couple, photo missions, and a live venue wall included.

Is there a free way to try TBT?

Yes - creating and running an event costs nothing, and the host browses the entire resulting album free (watermarked). Payment happens only if they choose to develop the film. There's no subscription anywhere.

TBT vs Lense (2026): Which Event Disposable Camera to Pick

Lense is one of the better-known names in QR-based event cameras, and if you've landed here you've already decided your event deserves better than a hashtag and a prayer. The question is which product fits. Here's where TBT and Lense align, and the places they genuinely differ.

The shared foundation

QR on the table, camera in the browser, limited shots, one shared album - on the fundamentals, TBT and Lense are kin. Both understand that the enemy isn’t the professional photographer (keep your photographer!), it’s the two thousand guest photos that tonight will otherwise die in two hundred camera rolls, unsent.

Where TBT diverges

The pricing bet

Guest-count tiers are the category norm; TBT refuses them. $149 flat whether your wedding seats 30 or 300 - because charging a couple more for having more loved ones never sat right with us. And the pay-after model means the $149 is never a gamble: the album exists, watermarked and browsable, before any money moves.

The roll is richer

A TBT roll isn’t only stills. Guests hold the shutter for a clip, record a voice wish the couple hears after the reveal, and each guest is dealt a photo mission from the host’s deck - the mechanism that fills albums with the shots nobody would think to take. The live wall for the venue screen is included, not an add-on.

Built for the reveal

Photos stay sealed until the event ends - guests can’t browse mid-party, which keeps them shooting instead of scrolling. After the end, the host controls whether guests see the shared album; voice wishes stay private to the couple either way.

sound on - it's better

Choose Lense if…

Their current plan tiers happen to match your exact guest count and feature needs at a better price than $149 - for small events, they might.

Choose TBT if…

You want one number that covers any guest list, a roll that captures voices and motion along with stills, and the right to see the whole album before paying a cent. That combination is, as far as we know, ours alone.
