Where Apple Photos & iCloud shines

Apple Photos with iCloud suits people already using Apple devices. Photo-library syncing, Shared Albums and a Shared Photo Library keep pictures accessible and collaborative. iCloud also supports separate apps such as Notes and Calendar; those are not Photos features.

Memory Temple pricing

Free includes 5GB of Memory Cloud. Memory Temple+ is £7.99/month with 50GB in total.

Apple Photos & iCloud pricing

A standard Apple account starts with 5GB of iCloud storage, shared with other iCloud uses. UK iCloud+ starts at £0.99/month for 50GB. This is a storage plan, rather than an equivalent bundle of Memory Temple+ features.

Prices use the provider’s published currency. Regional terms and features may vary.
