TraceBack

You have thousands of photos you will never scroll back far enough to see again. TraceBack puts them back on a map of where your life actually happened — and you never type a thing. Allow access to your photo library. Every photo already carries the date and the place it was taken, and that turns out to be enough to rebuild the rest. No check-ins. No trip forms. No account. THE MAP Every photo sits where it was taken. Zoom from the whole world down to a single street, tap a pin, and the photos from that spot come back. COUNTRIES AND REGIONS The places you have been fill in on their own, down to region and prefecture level. It counts the towns you passed through and how often you came back. THE FEED One photo at a time, with a line about what it was: the start of a trip, one from midnight, the first time you shot here. Tap the heart to keep it. REELS Swipe up and years of photos keep coming. FLYOVER Pick a photo and rise above the exact spot it was taken. Real aerial imagery, one angle after another, on its own. Streets you have walked a hundred times look nothing like you remember from up there. LIFE TIMELINE Your years laid out one after another. The photos remember what happened in each one. TODAY, YEARS AGO A daily notification brings back the same date from years past. CARD STUDIO Pick a photo, pick a template — map, film, print, retro — and share it as it is. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR IPHONE No email, no password, no sign-in, no upload. The map is built on your device out of photos that are already there. There is no server to send them to. TRACEBACK PRO - ONE-TIME PURCHASE - No ads in the feed or reels - Every card template - Export without the logo, at print size - Notifications up to 30 days ahead, plus seasonal memories - Family Sharing One purchase, not a subscription. Photo library access required. Photos without location data still appear in the feed and reels, but cannot be placed on the map.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TraceBack at Free against ImmichFrame's $2.99. ImmichFrame's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
