Everkeep vs Tinybeans: the key differences
| Tinybeans | Everkeep | |
|---|---|---|
| Where memories live | Tinybeans servers, shared cloud feed | On your phone; no account, no server |
| Pricing | Limited free tier; premium subscription around $75/year | Free with unlimited memories; Pro $9.99 once |
| Family viewing | Invite family to a shared feed | Share single memories via Messages/WhatsApp/AirDrop, or send the PDF book |
| Ads | Ads reported in the free tier | None |
| Voice memories | Photo and video focus | Voice memos with on-device transcription |
| Keepsake | Printed products sold through the app | PDF memory book you print anywhere; memory movie export |

The honest trade-off: Tinybeans is a sharing product, Everkeep is a keeping product. If your priority is a live feed for a large family group, Tinybeans does that. If your priority is that your child’s memories belong to you, cost a fixed amount and are never mined or paywalled, Everkeep is built for that.
Moving from Tinybeans to Everkeep
Everkeep does not connect to Tinybeans, so the move is manual, but it is straightforward: get your photos out of Tinybeans onto your phone, then bring them into Everkeep with the right dates. Everkeep Pro’s bulk import from Photos makes the backlog quick.
Do this before your subscription lapses, while export is still available to you.
