PhotoPrism vs Piwigo for Open-Source Self-Hosted Photo Album Management

Self-Hosted photo albums are often considered as alternatives to Flickr or Google Photos. Both PhotoPrism and Piwigo provide something similar, but they do it differently, and in this video I highlight some of those differences. You may just want to host something for yourself, or your family and friends, or for the greater public at large.

PhotoPrism is newer and better looking than Piwigo, but does it have what is needed to provide the functionality you need?
