How this compares with mail-in services

Per-photo scan rate (2026)

Scan only, nothing else

ScanMyPhotos · mail-in $0.09–$0.26
ScanCafe · mail-in $0.48
Legacybox · mail-in box $1.25–$1.40
Timeline Scan · local includes dating + EXIF $0.20

Published rates checked August 2026, before promo codes. Legacybox sells by the box: 25 photos = 1 “item”, so its $69.98 starter box is $1.40 per photo. None of these date your photos, and your photos ride a mail truck both ways.
