Memorygram vs. Keeper Memorials: the five-upload limit on Keeper Basic
Memorygram includes 15 free photos. Keeper Basic lists five photos or videos. Compare that starting allowance, lifetime pricing, and multiple memorials.
Our take
Choose Memorygram for a more useful free photo gallery: 15 photos versus Keeper Basic’s allowance of five photos or videos. Keeper Plus is cheaper than Memorygram Lifetime and covers multiple memorials, so Memorygram’s strongest advantage in this comparison is the free starting experience.

Five uploads can disappear before the story has begun.
A childhood portrait, a wedding, a family gathering, a favorite holiday, and a recent picture already make five. Memorygram gives a family room for ten more photographs before requiring a gallery upgrade. These are the published US-dollar plans reviewed September 5, 2026.

A family should be able to begin before deciding to pay.
The free allowance matters when someone is assembling an obituary under time pressure. You may not yet know how many relatives will contribute or how large the gallery will become. Starting with 15 photographs gives the page more room to represent different stages of a life.
Memorygram’s free plan supports public and unlisted memorials. Password protection, family-only access, fully private settings, and unlimited photos require a paid upgrade. Those boundaries are part of the decision, especially for a family that wants a private archive from the beginning.

Memorygram wins the free-photo comparison, not every price comparison.
Keeper Plus is $12.95 less than Memorygram Lifetime at the reviewed prices. Its multiple-memorial allowance also matters for someone managing an extended family archive. Treating those plans as if they differed only in gallery size would conceal a real cost difference.
Choose Memorygram when its free starting allowance and memorial experience fit the page you need today. If you are already committed to paying for many separate memorials, price that whole project before choosing. The free gallery and the paid family-wide archive are different purchasing decisions.

Build the memorial first, then decide how to carry it forward.
Memorygram’s broader range includes separately purchased tribute books, QR keepsakes, and a Legacy Book for recording a living relative’s stories. A public memorial and a first-person memoir serve different purposes; neither needs to be squeezed into the other.
For one family creating a shareable obituary, we would start with Memorygram’s free page, choose the photographs that tell the story, and add the service details as they become available. Consider an upgrade only when the actual gallery or privacy needs call for it.
