In their own words
Flickr
Flickr is an online photography community for managing, sharing, and discovering photos. Users can store and organize images, make galleries, and explore galleries from photographers they follow. Groups, contests, and a photography blog provide community activities, while daily curation and Creative Commons images support discovery. Privacy settings let users choose default visibility and control who can view, download, or interact with individual photos and videos. The mobile app can upload camera-roll photos and videos automatically, keeping them private until the user chooses to share them. Image recognition can find visually similar images and assist with search and organization. Users may authorize third-party apps to work with their accounts and later revoke access in settings. Flickr offers an API for non-commercial use; commercial use requires prior arrangement. The free plan permits 1,000 public photo and video uploads and displays ads. Flickr Pro costs $8 a month, billed annually, and includes unlimited full-resolution sharing and backup, ad-free browsing, detailed statistics, and enhanced privacy settings.
Tonfotos
Tonfotos organizes photo and video collections, removes duplicates, recognizes people, and helps preserve family histories. Its face recognition groups people and learns from identifications, including faces partly visible or shown at different ages. Users can record relationships and genealogical details, view family ties in a tree, and search an archive by people, events, tags, dates, or shooting locations. Archives can remain on a PC, NAS, or removable drive, with offline use described for disconnected drives or shared folders. TonfotosSync for iOS and Android sends new phone photos to a computer or NAS archive after QR-code pairing. The app can also download photos and videos shared with the user on Telegram. It indexes RAW and HEIC formats and can display HEIC without conversion to JPEG. Other tools include albums, slideshows, photo conversion, and duplicate removal. The free lifetime license has full functionality but limits the number of people in photos. The Personal license costs $59 once and supports unlimited people for one user or device.
