I’ve seen a lot of recommends for Immich on here, so I have an idea what the answer here is going to be, but I’m looking for some comparisons between it and Photoprism I’m currently using Synology Photos, and I think my biggest issue is it’s lack of metadata management. I’ve gotten around that with MetaImage and NeoFinder. I’m considering moving to something not tied to the Synology environment.

    Both great projects I would also put librephotos to the equation with its feature rich unofficial android client Uhuru photos

    All have great android apps and great Dev base

    Have tried all three and also tried every other selfhosted image gallery

    Photoprim is overall the most mature and complete in features

    Yes it requires a third party app to sync your assets but the auto index feature if you sync to their webdav endpoint is killer. This means the proccess from the moment of taking a picture till it shows up in your photoprism gallery is “instant”

    Also the unofficial android client is super great and almost android TV compatible

    So

    To be honest there is not a fair answer You really have to hey them all

    Photoprism better for single user. More stable, prettier, more free license.

    Immich has support for multiple libraries, and sharing with your other users. Immich has better ai tools. I’m using immich because I just had a baby and want to see the pictures my wife takes of her.

    I also vastly prefer having a single, canon source of photos. I syncthing my library to my laptop for full control (and backup). It’s happened before when migrating my server app that I need to reimport all my pictures into a new database. It’s super easy if they’re all in one spot.

    When Photoprism adds multi library, I’ll probably switch back. With the main reason being license.
