The TurtlePic alternative with in-house AI and lower cost
TurtlePic shares SpotMe’s belief that photographers should pay for storage, not photo counts. The difference is in what you get on top: SpotMe runs face recognition on models it trained itself, gives the couple a gallery of their own, and verifies every guest without charging per message, at a lower cost.
Costs less for the same storage
Both are storage-based. SpotMe is priced below the alternatives.
No WhatsApp credits
TurtlePic charges credits for WhatsApp delivery. SpotMe’s guest verification is included.
99.99% accurate, self-hosted AI
Models we trained ourselves, running on our own servers. Zero data shared with third-party AI providers.

Why photographers choose SpotMe over TurtlePic
Same philosophy, lower price
If you like storage-based pricing, SpotMe gives you the same model for less, with no message credits to top up.
Accuracy you can trust
SpotMe’s face-recognition models are trained in-house and benchmarked on real wedding and event photos at 99.99% accuracy.
Private by design
Every model runs on SpotMe’s own servers. Photos and faces are never sent to a third-party AI provider, guest selfies are never stored, and face data is never used for training.
A gallery built for the couple
The couple gets a master link with every function in folders, favorites and a people view, separate from the guest experience.
Verified leads for your studio
Every guest verifies a mobile number with a one-time code, and you can export the list as a CSV.
