Notes on this comparison

We compare published features, not independently tested security. A red cross earns no credit: the feature is unsupported, has a drawback, or is labelled “Not advertised” because we found no claim in the checked sources. “Not advertised” does not prove a feature is absent. An amber dash means documented partial support. A grey question mark is reserved for checks we could not assess and is excluded from the ranking score.

How does PV – Secret Photo Album compare with Sealby?

PV offers photo albums and paid cloud features. Sealby keeps photos, files and notes in separate encrypted vaults, with no ads, tracking or Sealby account.

What PV – Secret Photo Album is built for

  • Tags, notes, search, unlimited albums and a built-in camera
  • Many transfer routes: free phone-to-phone transfer, and Wi-Fi, Dropbox, Google Drive and others for paying members
  • Paid cloud tier for those who want one

What to consider

  • The free app is ad-supported, and its App Store privacy label (as listed 4 October 2026) declares data used to track you
  • Contact info and a user ID are listed as linked to your identity
  • The fake-password mode and cloud backup are part of a paid membership

The honest verdict

Choose Sealby for account-free storage and optional backups in your own iCloud. Compare PV’s membership features if you want its cloud service.

Common questions

What does “linked to you” mean in an App Store privacy label?

It means the developer says the data is connected to your identity, for example through an account or user ID. Sealby links nothing to you because there is no account and no data collection.
