Qeepsake alternatives
Qeepsake is good at one thing: getting you to write. People look elsewhere when they want photos and video to be the main event, or want family involved without paying for Premium.
Why people switch
- Photo caps
- 50 photos a month on Essential and 100 on Premium. Video needs Premium and stops at one minute. Source
- Family is a weekly email
- Relatives get a recap of the 10 latest entries each Monday. Letting them contribute is a Premium feature. Source
- New owner
- Tinybeans bought Qeepsake in November 2025 and plans to move subscribers onto Tinybeans over time. Source
