Looly at a glance
Looly brings each child’s photos into private circles, with a shared family view for the people invited to them. Share a sibling photo to the relevant circles in one post. One subscription covers the circles you run: €99/year or €12/month, with 250 GB shared across them. Invited relatives join free.

How do sibling photos work?
Create a circle for each child. When a photo belongs to more than one child’s story, share it to the relevant circles in one post. People who belong to both should not need you to send the same photo twice. Membership determines access, so check each circle’s people before sharing.
Do we have to move years of photos first?
No. Start with this weekend. If you already use FamilyAlbum, Looly can preview an import from your browser invitation. That is a separate, deliberate step; you can use the new circle before deciding how much history to bring over.
Does one subscription cover every child?
One administrator’s subscription covers the circles they run. The 250 GB recurring allowance is shared across those circles; it is not 250 GB per child. Invited relatives do not need a separate subscription to view or comment.
What to know before you start
Looly is not end-to-end encrypted. Originals are stored in the EU; processing and delivery can operate globally. Relatives must sign in. Android access is through the browser. Importing cannot restore quality missing from a source file. Recurring plans start with a 14-day trial, require a card and renew automatically unless you cancel before the trial ends.
