Archivios vs Amazon Photos
A side-by-side look at price, organization, and subscription dependencies.
Amazon Photos bundles unlimited full-resolution photo storage into Prime, with paid add-ons for extra capacity and video — but it depends on an active Prime subscription, and organization is limited to upload-date grouping. Archivios stands alone: automatic organization by date and location, and no dependency on another subscription to keep working.

*Amazon Photos storage add-ons require an active Prime membership.
If you want a photo backup that isn't tied to a separate membership, and organizes your library automatically instead of by upload date, Archivios is built for that.
Download on the App StoreIs Archivios cheaper than Amazon Photos?
For 2 TB, yes — Archivios is $3.99/mo ($47.88/yr) versus Amazon's $19.99/yr 2 TB storage add-on*, but Amazon's add-on requires an active Prime subscription on top, which Archivios does not.
Does Amazon Photos organize photos automatically like Archivios?
Only basically — Amazon Photos groups by upload date, without Archivios' automatic year/month/location structure built from each photo's EXIF data.
Do I need Amazon Prime to use Amazon Photos?
Yes, unlimited full-resolution photo storage is a Prime benefit, and the paid storage add-on tiers require an active Prime membership. Archivios has no subscription dependency beyond its own plan.
