Event pack or subscription: which one should you buy?
Kamero sells photo space in two ways. An event pack pays for one event. A subscription pays for a year of uploads that you can spread across as many events as you like. This guide compares them, lists the prices in INR and USD, and shows how to buy each one.
The two options
Event pack
A pack is a fixed number of photos for one event, from 100 to 10,000. You buy it once on Home. When you create an event with it, the pack is used up and the event gets that photo limit for 12 months from the day you create it. A pack you have not used yet does not expire.
Subscription
A subscription is a yearly upload limit for your whole account, from 50,000 to 10,00,000 photos. Every event you create from it takes photos from the same allowance, and you can create up to 10,000 events. Subscription events stay online for as long as the subscription is active. You buy it on the Subscription page.

- The Purchase Summary shows each pack with its price, quantity, subtotal, GST (18%) and total. For one 1,000-photo pack in India: ₹700 + ₹126 GST = ₹826.

Create an event with the pack
- Open Events and click Create Event.

- Pick a pack under Select an Event Pack, then fill in the event form.
The full form is covered in Create an event. If an event runs out of space later, see Increase an event's photo limit.
The free trial event
Every new account gets one Free Trial Event automatically. It holds 1,000 photos, allows 50 guest uploads and has face recognition switched on. It lasts 1 month and 15 days from the day your account is created (about 45 days), and its card carries a Free Trial tag.
The trial cannot be renewed. When it ends, its card offers only Delete Event. To carry on, buy an event pack or a subscription and create a new event.
Buy a subscription
- Click Subscription in the top menu and scroll to One subscription, unlimited events.
- Pick how you want to pay with the tabs. Yearly carries a SAVE 50% badge.
- Click Get Started on the plan you want. If you already have a plan, the buttons read Renew or Upgrade instead.
- In Choose Payment Method, check the amount and click Proceed to Payment. In India you pay with Razorpay (card, UPI or net banking) or PhonePe. Outside India you pay with PayPal.
Once it is active, Create Event offers Use my subscription. How the yearly allowance is counted is explained in How the subscription upload limit works. How long each kind of event stays online is in Event validity and expiry.
Frequently asked questions
Does an unused event pack expire?
No. A pack you have bought but not used stays under My Event Packs with no end date. The 12 months start on the day you create an event with it.
Can I have a subscription and still use event packs?
Yes. With a subscription, Create Event shows both Create Event from Subscription and Create Event from Purchased Pack. Each event uses one or the other. A pack event keeps its own photo limit and expiry date and does not use your subscription allowance.
Can I pay for a subscription with wallet credits?
No. Credits can pay for event packs, event renewals and face recognition, but a subscription is paid through Razorpay or PhonePe in India, or PayPal outside India.
Is face recognition included?
In a subscription, yes: every plan includes all features. For a pack event it is a separate purchase for that event, valid for 12 months: ₹750 up to 4,500 photos and ₹1,000 above that in India, or $10 and $15 outside India.
Can I renew my free trial event?
No. The free trial event lasts 1 month and 15 days and has no Renew button. To keep going, buy an event pack or a subscription and create a new event.
Do packs or subscriptions renew automatically?
Packs never charge you again. A subscription paid by Razorpay or PayPal sets up autopay. A subscription paid by PhonePe is a one-time payment that you renew by hand.
