Two free options, and most families want the second.
A personal account — 5 GB#
Your own albums, on your own storage. Everything works: sharing with circles, inviting people, share links, the timeline, chat, Moments.
A Starter Hub — 10 GB shared between three people#
A Family Hub at no cost, for up to three people, with no card.
This is the one most households want. Everyone in it can add photos, everyone reaches the same archive, and it doesn't come out of anyone's personal 5 GB.
As far as we know it's the only free shared family tier of its kind — most apps give you a free personal allowance and charge the moment you want to pool one with anyone.
Neither is a trial#
There's no time limit, nothing expires, and no feature switches off after a fortnight. You upgrade when you run out of space, not when a clock runs out.
There are also no ads on the free tier — or on any tier, for you or for anyone you invite. That matters more than it sounds: in ad-funded apps the person who pays gets a clean view and the grandparents they invited keep seeing advertising.
What you don't get#
Space, obviously. And the two things tied to the larger plans:
- Keeping print-ready originals alongside your photos.
- Searching by describing what's in a picture.
Both unlock at the 500 GB line. Everything else — sharing, invitations, links, chat, Moments, memories, watching on a TV, exporting — works on every plan including free.
Only one person pays#
Whoever's storage is being used. Everyone you invite uses Keepr for nothing, whether they're in your circle, viewing an album, or a member of your Family Hub.
A household of five on one hub plan is one subscription, not five.
Making 5 or 10 GB go further#
Two things reclaim more space than people expect, and both are worth trying before paying:
- Remove originals you've finished with — keeps every photo.
- Review your duplicate stacks.
Videos are the usual culprit when a free tier fills quickly. A few minutes of video can outweigh hundreds of photographs.
