Culr Free vs Culr Plus: What's the difference?
Culr Free lets you swipe through your camera roll to delete clutter and clean up 50 duplicates per month, while Culr Plus unlocks unlimited duplicate detection, blur detection, similar-photo grouping, and burst-photo ranking for £3.99 per month or £29.99 per year.
Culr Free: What you get
Culr Free is built for anyone with a bloated camera roll who wants to start clearing it without paying. The free tier includes unlimited swipe-to-keep or swipe-to-delete culling, which is the core workflow. You get 50 duplicate deletions per month, screenshot cleanup, WhatsApp media detection, and iCloud status checks before every delete so you never lose a synced photo. There's no time limit on the free version and no nagging to upgrade. Most casual phone users find Free sufficient for basic maintenance.
Culr Plus: Added features for power users
Culr Plus (£3.99 per month, £29.99 per year, or £44.99 lifetime) removes the 50-deletion cap and adds four feature tiers that matter to people with thousands of photos. Unlimited duplicate detection finds matching photos no matter how many you have. Similar-photo grouping uses Vision clustering to show you visually identical shots so you can delete variants in bulk. Blur detection via CIEdges sharpness scoring flags soft photos automatically. Burst-photo ranking ranks every frame in a burst sequence and highlights the sharpest keeper, saving hours on event photography. All these features run locally on your phone, not in the cloud.
When to choose Free vs Plus
Choose Free if you have under 2,000 photos, rarely take bursts, and aren't bothered by duplicates. Free handles basic cleanup and works indefinitely. Choose Plus if you have 5,000+ photos, take a lot of burst shots, or use WhatsApp and Telegram heavily and need bulk deletion without monthly limits. Wedding and event photographers almost always choose Plus or Pro because the burst ranking and similar grouping save hours of manual work. Both tiers delete only on your device, never uploading anything to cloud servers.
Culr Pro: The full suite
For £6.99 per month, £49.99 per year, or £69.99 lifetime, Culr Pro adds AI Best Shot recommendation across similar photos, video compression to reclaim storage, scheduled auto-clean via daily, weekly, or monthly automation, and Photographer Mode which groups shots by 2-hour intervals so you can cull an entire shoot in one workflow. Pro also includes a storage analytics dashboard with a 14-day freed-bytes chart and library breakdown by file type. Pro is built for photographers, content creators, and anyone managing a massive photo library.
No tricks, just honest pricing
Culr doesn't use weekly billing, scareware tactics, or ad-tracking SDKs. Every tier is transparent. You can downgrade, pause, or cancel anytime. The free tier stays free forever. All photo processing happens on your device using native frameworks like Vision and CIEdges, not cloud servers. Culr is available on iOS and Android from the same editor, so your workflow is consistent across phones.
