Desktop vs. Cloud Colorization

Cloud Services

  • Must upload photos to a server
  • $1–3 per image
  • One image at a time, slow processing
  • Generic results, limited historical accuracy
  • Your family photos on third-party servers

Contenta Desktop

  • Your own Google Gemini account, not a photo service's servers
  • $129 one-time — unlimited images
  • Batch colorize an entire album at once
  • Google Gemini AI for accurate, natural colors
  • Combine with restoration in the same batch

Per-Image Pricing Adds Up Fast

$1–3

per image on cloud colorization services

vs
$0.02–0.05

per photo, billed by Google to your own Gemini key. Nothing extra from us.

$129 one-time purchase. Google bills your Gemini key a few cents per photo, so a 200-photo album costs about $8 in API fees.
