LiveWall is a new player in this market, gets a tiny fraction of the traffic on Google, and relies on word-of-mouth to grow as our budgets for advertising is tiny compared to our competitors. It is hard to make comparison tables, and we're obviously biased, but we see the market as a big ocean where multiple boats can sail, and care about you finding the right one for your journey. Hopefully this comparison table can help.
This comparison was made in the last week of October, 2025, and is a combination of information retrieval from public websites and testing free versions of the services.
Footnotes
1 We have not included pricing as it may change frequently and campaigns and promotions may deviate from what is listed on official sites. 2 Tests performed from New York City on a Saturday at 5 PM uploading 5 x 60 megapixel photos from a Leica M-11. We used a desktop computer on a 1GBit wired internet connection to perform the tests. 2 Claims End-to-End-Encryption, but in our tests we were never asked to generate an encryption key, and were able to access same album from a different browser. Term is likely used losely to indicate transport encryption to/from the server (which is fine for most users if you trust the provider).
