Colorize by Photomyne vs PixGrid Colorize Photo

Colorize by Photomyne turns black-and-white photos and videos into color on Android and iOS. On Android, users can scan or upload a photo and apply colorization with a tap. Colorized photos can be saved or shared, though the free Colorize Basic plan limits the number of photos. The yearly membership costs $59.99 per year after a 3-day free trial and auto-renews until canceled. It includes unlimited colorization, saving, and sharing, plus photo backup and access on other devices and online. Monthly membership and a one-time plan are also listed, but their prices are not shown; the one-time plan provides unlimited premium access for two years. Colorize is part of the Photomyne Scanning Suite with Photo Scan, SlideScan, and FilmBox. Photomyne says Google Photos uploads require permission and apply only to selected materials. Its Android listing says data is encrypted in transit and deletion can be requested; it also notes possible collection and sharing of certain data. Photomyne says generative AI may process biometric data for selected features with consent, but not to identify a person.

PixGrid Colorize Photo is a browser tool for restoring color to black-and-white or badly faded photographs, including skin, hair, and clothing. Restore Color applies color in one step without extra sliders. PixGrid recommends repairing scratched or dusty prints with Fix Old Photo before colorizing. It says sharp scans work better than dim or crooked phone photos and advises checking faces before printing. Each black-and-white colorization uses 2 AI credits. The browser colorizer is free to open, while restore actions consume credits through one-time passes. The Free plan costs nothing and exports watermarked files. Day Pass costs $2.99, paid once for 15 credits and unwatermarked exports for 24 hours. Pro Month costs $9.99, paid once for 120 credits and unwatermarked exports for 30 days. Ultra Pass costs $29.99, paid once for 500 credits and unwatermarked exports for 30 days. Paid passes do not auto-renew. Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge are supported.
