How Much Does an Audio Guestbook Cost in 2026?
Audio guestbook prices in 2026: phone rental, purchase, dedicated number or QR code. Price ranges, hidden costs and how to compare offers fairly.
“How much does an audio guestbook cost?” The answer mostly depends on the format: a rented vintage phone, a purchased device, a dedicated phone number or a guestbook opened with a QR code. Here are the price ranges seen in 2026, the costs people tend to forget and a simple way to compare offers.
The short answer
- QR code audio guestbook: free to about €40 per event. With Memolith, the Discovery plan is free and Prestige costs €39 including VAT, paid once.
- Rented vintage phone: about €120 to €350, often excluding delivery.
- Purchased guestbook phone: about €100 to €300 depending on the model.
- Dedicated phone number: about €40 to €110.
Indicative ranges from public offers in France in October 2026. They vary with region, duration and options.
Costs to check before you book
- Delivery and return: included, charged by distance or up to you?
- Deposit: how much, and when is it kept?
- Duration: does the price cover the whole weekend or a single day?
- File delivery: how fast, in which format, and for how long are files available?
- Extras: custom greeting, message editing, decorative sign, second phone.
For an online service, ask instead about the number of messages included, the maximum message length, whether photos are accepted, hosting duration, and one-off payment versus subscription.
What a Memolith audio guestbook includes
| Plan | Price incl. VAT | Voice messages | Photos | Hosting after the event |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Free | 10 | 25 | 3 months |
| Prestige | €39 per event, paid once | 300 | 2,000 | 2 years |
| Agency | €149 per year | 300 per event | 2,000 per event | 2 years |
On every plan, messages can last up to 5 minutes, guests take part for free with no app, the QR code comes as PNG, SVG and a printable A5 PDF card, and the ZIP export is included. See pricing for details.
How to compare two offers fairly
Reduce each offer to three numbers: the total price including extras, the number of messages you can realistically expect, and how long you keep access to the files. A single phone rarely collects as many messages as a QR code on every table, because only one guest can speak at a time. An online service, in turn, should let you download your files to keep them yourself.
