Shutterfly ranks third because it is the most complete app for doing more than prints. Its photo prints page says the app offers unlimited 4x4 and 4x6 prints for 10 cents each plus $5.99 flat-rate shipping, so 200 prints cost $25.99 delivered. The same app makes photo books, holiday cards, wedding invitations, calendars, wall art and gifts such as mugs and blankets, and a 24-Hour Photo Book Designer Service will lay out a book for you. Active customers get unlimited photo storage, though the listing says a purchase is required at least once every 18 months to keep it. Print sizes run from wallet to 20x30 in glossy or matte. It loses points on value against FreePrints and Snapfish, whose 4x6 allowances are free before shipping, and it does not list store pickup for prints. It holds a 4.7 rating from about 605K ratings. We compared documented features and published prices.
