Amazon Photos is the best deal on this list if you already pay for Prime. Its US App Store listing says Prime members in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Japan get unlimited full-resolution photo storage plus 5 GB for video, while everyone else gets 5 GB for photos and video combined. Auto-Save backs up each new photo, and you can then delete local copies to free space. Photos can play on an Echo Show or Fire TV, and private Amazon Photos Groups gather everyone's pictures from an event in one album. Paid storage on the US App Store runs from 50 GB for $0.99 a month to 2 TB for $11.99. The catches are the 5 GB video cap for Prime members and simpler search, which works by date or location rather than by what is in the picture. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test each app.
