CEWE vs Mixbook

CEWE is a photo-book service for making a book from photographs and ordering a printed copy. Automatic layouts can help arrange a book, and a finished project can also be exported as a PDF. Print ordering is available, and books can have up to 202 pages. CEWE offers web, mobile, and desktop apps, with platforms listed for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. The free plan gives users an option before purchasing; the listed Small Square Photo Book costs £8.99 per once and covers 26–202 pages. Paid plans are listed from £8.99. CEWE was founded in 1961 and is headquartered in Oldenburg, Germany.

Mixbook lets people create customizable printed photo books and other personalized photo products on the web or through its iOS app. Story Mode uses AI to organize photos, create layouts, optionally write captions, and generate three book versions. Mixbook Studio provides controls for fonts, backgrounds, colors, shapes, stickers, layouts, and text. Projects can import photos from Facebook, SmugMug, and Google Photos. Standard softcover and hardcover books support up to 400 pages; Signature Hardcover Layflat supports up to 100, and Premium Hardcover Layflat up to 90. Mixbook says every created photo book is backed up for later reprinting. Users can invite collaborators, who must have Mixbook accounts. The app supports iPhone and iPad and runs best on iOS 16.0 or later; Android is coming soon. Listed starting prices are 14.99 USD one-time for softcover, 29.99 USD for hardcover, 74.99 USD for Layflat, and 99.99 USD for Luxe Album.
