Should I pay the $24.95 a year for a Flickr Pro account or is there a better/cheaper alternative photo sharing service?

Rogers has decided to stop providing free Flickr Pro accounts to their users. I have more than 200 pictures on Flickr so I need either to pay or switch.
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Of course, it depends on your needs, but I think Flickr is a pretty good choice, for the following two reasons:

  1. There are a lot of people already using that service. That's important if you want to share your photos.
  2. There are a of great apps/services that tie into Flickr (examples: Apple TV, Flock, a multitude of mobile apps, many many desktop widgets, many web embeddable widgets.)

Good answer. I concur with your reasoning.

Also, flickr has great support for tagging and EXIF, not so great for geotagging.

You can get plugins for programs like iPhoto or Lightroom to upload directly from there.

Also, once you have uploaded your photos, even if you don't renew your subscription, they keep your photos for when you do eventually re-subscribe.

The online community there is great as well, with lots of interest groups. Join the group for your particular camera and you can get help from fellow users.

If you're web savvy, host them yourself. The Menalto Gallery is easy to install and really good: http://gallery.menalto.com/

Google's web albums are good too... there is of course the free version but for $20 per year, you get 10 gigs that you can use across Google's service. Personally, I like Picasa, so the $20 per year google tax is well worth it.

Yeah, but for family photos it's pretty good.

It's super easy to use and the picasa software makes it perfect for the family to use.

Google web gallaries, or picasa web galleries are atrocious. They re-compress your jpegs till they are very low quality and look terrible.
