What makes PeopleTag different
- Your photos stay put
- They stay in your Dropbox. Nothing to move, install or download.
- Search where you are
- Names become Dropbox tags, so Dropbox search finds Anna on dropbox.com and in the Dropbox app on your phone.
- Pay once
- You pay for the photos you have, not every month. If you stop, the tags stay.
- In the EU
- Faces are analysed on our own servers in Germany, under GDPR.
When something else fits better
- Already in Google or iCloud
- If your photos already live in Google Photos or iCloud, their face grouping comes with what you pay.
- No Dropbox
- PeopleTag only works with Dropbox.
- Only on your own machine
- If nothing may leave your computer: Tag That Photo or Excire.
- A company archive
- Asset managers for teams, such as Pics.io (from $250 a month), are built for that.
Made for events: face search for guests
At weddings and events, guests find their own photos with a selfie. SnapSeek charges per photo: about $1,556 for 20,000 photos ($778 per 10,000). Kwikpic, Samaro, FotoOwl work the same way, on subscriptions. They are made for photographers who deliver photos to guests, not for a family library.
