Ads between photos

Compare
A FamilyAlbum alternative with no ads between your photos.
FamilyAlbum is a shared baby album for the whole family, and grandparents who live far away love it. Parents who leave tend to mention ads and print promotions. Our Little World is a private space for the two parents, with no ads and both parents' photos sorted into each child's space.

How Our Little World differs
No ads, on any plan
There are no ads in Our Little World. Your child's photos are not interrupted by anything.
A space for the two parents
With your permission, both parents' photo libraries are sorted into each child's space from birth, with no duplicates.
No feed, no likes
There is no feed, no likes, and no followers. The space is for keeping the story, not for reactions.
More than photos
Add Firsts, letters for later, and voice notes alongside the photos.
To be fair
Who should stay with FamilyAlbum
Stay with FamilyAlbum if your main goal is letting grandparents and relatives far away see new photos and leave comments, or if you rely on its free monthly prints. It is built for the whole family to follow along. Our Little World is built for the two parents.
