Choosing well
Check Android access
Check whether the service offers an Android app if you manage images from a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone. Web access and an API can provide other ways to work.
Platform choices listed for this category include web, API, iOS, Android, self-hosted and macOS; availability varies by service.
Compare free and paid plans
A free plan can help you assess a service before paying. Check what the plan includes, then compare the paid-from price and billing terms.
Cloudimage is listed as paid, starting at €49 per month, with a 30-day trial and no free plan.
Review image delivery tools
Compare URL transformations and automatic optimization for the way your site creates image variants. Responsive-image support can help deliver suitable sizes to different screens.
Check AVIF support if you want that format in your delivery workflow.
Check storage and domains
Look at included storage alongside your expected image library and traffic. Custom-domain support matters when image URLs should use your own domain.
Consider code and hosting
If you need to read or change the code, check the licence and whether an open-source option fits. Self-hosted platforms can provide a different deployment route from hosted services.
