Place is a private photo diary you can share with the people you actually care about. Not a feed. Not a group chat that buries everything by Friday. One place where a day becomes a few photos and a line of text, and where the people you choose can add theirs next to yours. YOUR LIFE, IN ONE PLACE Add a photo, write a line, done. Place turns quick captures into entries that feel like memories, not posts. Scroll back through a month and you'll actually remember it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything starts as yours alone. Nothing is public, nothing is discoverable, and nobody can find you by name. SHARE ONLY WITH PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE Open a shared collection with your partner, your best friends, your family. Everyone adds their photos to the same place. Skip the group chat. Keep the memories. NO LIKES, NO FEED, NO STRANGERS There is no algorithm and no audience. Just your things and the people you said yes to. THE PHOTO-FIRST JOURNAL If you've tried to keep a journal and stopped, this is the one that sticks: a day takes seconds, and the photos do most of the writing. PLACE JOURNAL & PLACE DAILY Place is free to try. Place Journal ($9.99/month or $49.99/year) unlocks unlimited entries, shared collections and the home screen widget. Place Daily ($7.99/month or $39.99/year) is for people who just want a private daily photo diary. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://place.so/terms Privacy Policy: https://place.so/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Place at none against Qollaby's 4. Place also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Qollaby's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
