Why it's listed

PhotoPrism is listed in photo management because it competes on utility: ai-powered photo library you own. It's built by an independent, bootstrapped team — no growth-at-all-costs pressure, no ad-tax passed to you. Licensed AGPL-3.0; pricing: free / membership. Its resource footprint is reasonable for what it does, though not featherweight. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
