The Best Samaro Alternative With No Storage Limits - Switch to Photomall

The Best Samaro Alternative With No Storage Limits — Switch to Photomall

Samaro charges based on storage used, so you pay for every photo in its original size. This can quickly add up, forcing photographers to upgrade plans often and making costs unpredictable during busy seasons or large events.

Major Issue: Original Size Uploads = Higher Storage Cost

When you upload photos in full resolution (up to 30MB each), your storage fills up fast. For big events like weddings, engagements, or school photoshoots, you might reach your storage limit before the event is over.

For example, a 100 GB plan can hold about 4,096 photos if each is 25 MB. But some events may have more than 5,000 photos, meaning you’d need a larger plan.

Even if you stay under 4,096 photos, the yearly cost of ₹10,200 + Tax makes this expensive for photographers who handle frequent or large events.
