FamilyAlbum is the strongest free option for parents, because its homepage promises uploads "with no fees or storage limits" and only family members you invite can see the album. Photos and videos are sorted by month automatically, relatives can leave comments and reactions, and a visitor check shows who has looked at the latest uploads. Every family member can also claim 11 free prints a month. Premium is optional: Premium One costs $2.99 a month, Premium Family $5.99 and Premium Family Pro $10.99 on the US App Store, and first-time subscribers get a one-month trial. Premium adds 1s Movies, unlimited slideshows and uploads from a computer. The trade-off is scope. FamilyAlbum is designed around a child's timeline, so it fits a family sharing baby photos better than a friend group planning a trip. We compared documented features and published prices.
