Inflated, then discounted
Some photo book companies show a high price, then a sale that takes about half off it, and the sale is on most days. It makes it hard to know what a book really costs, or whether to wait for a better code. Ours is honestly cheap instead: £10 every day, with no sales and no discount-code games.

When another company is the better choice
We make one book: 21×21cm, 28 pages, a stapled softback. If that isn’t the book you want, one of the others will suit you better.
- Photobox. You want lay-flat pages, a different size or a lot more pages: Photobox sells all of those.
- CEWE. You want lay-flat pages, a choice of papers, or a big book. CEWE’s prices also seem to stay put, as ours do.
- Snapfish. You’re happy to wait for a code and want the cheapest delivery: Snapfish’s was £3.99 when we checked.
- Popsa. You want a bigger book: Popsa’s Large booklet is 30×21cm.
- FreePrints Photobooks. You want a smaller book, about 15cm square: FreePrints’ first book each month costs less than ours. You pay just for the extra pages and delivery: £9.35 for 28 pages when we checked.
How we checked
We open each company’s pages twice a day, as a new visitor, and save what they show. Every figure, the history back to January 2025 and the full method are on the data page. If you work for one of these companies and something’s wrong, tell us and we’ll correct it.
