# Event Types and Features

Fotify offers different event types to match various needs and budgets. Each event type comes with a specific set of features and limitations. This guide helps you understand the differences to choose the right option for your event.

## Feature Explanations

### Max Photos

The maximum number of photos that can be uploaded to your event. After reaching this limit, no new photos can be uploaded unless you upgrade.

### Event Duration

The number of days your event can remain in "Live" status. After this period, you'll need to stop the event or upgrade.

### Gallery Access

The period after event completion during which the photo gallery remains accessible. After this period, access is restricted.

### Bulk Download

The ability to download all event photos as a single ZIP file. This feature is particularly useful for preserving memories after the event.

### Photo Moderation

Controls for approving photos before they appear in the live carousel and gallery. Without this feature, all photos are automatically approved.

### Max Guests

### RSVP Management

## Feature Enforcement

Fotify automatically enforces the limitations of each event type:

1. **Photo Limits**: Upon reaching the limit, uploads will be disabled.
2. **Duration Limits**: The system tracks the number of days an event has been live and will notify you when approaching the limit.
3. **Gallery Access**: After the specified period, the gallery becomes inaccessible.
4. **Guest Limits**: Upon reaching the limit, new guest creation will be disabled.

1. **Event Size**: Estimate the number of guests and potential photo uploads
2. **Duration**: Determine how long the event will run
3. **Photo Sharing Needs**: Consider if you need moderation or bulk download
4. **RSVP Requirements**: Evaluate if you need guest management features
5. **Budget**: Balance features against credit costs
