Comments about PhotoPrism as an Alternative to digiKam
This as far as I can tell is a web based solution (which may be possible to self-host as claimed here, but it's not obvious that is an option in reality), digikam is a local option, not relying on network support. Even locally hosted it's not really an alternative when, "works offline" is selected. Unless all the official information is deeply misleading.
Some users think PhotoPrism is a great digiKam alternative, some don't.
- PhotoPrism is Freemium and Open Source

Comments about qView as an Alternative to digiKam
Just a simple image viewer. No tagging or database features. Not a comparable alternative at all.
This alternative is disputed. qView is a legitimate digiKam alternative, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
- qView is Free and Open Source
- qView is Minimalistic and Lightweight
