Source records verified 2026-08-31 and 2026-08-31

The short verdict

There is no universal winner. The lower known estimate changes with collection size, while shipping completeness, supported formats, output, and turnaround can outweigh the headline total. Use the scenarios below to compare the same collection and treat every missing shipping leg as an unresolved cost.

Shared format coverage

Both provider records cover 13 of the same modeled formats. Confirm the exact cassette, film, or photo type on each provider profile before ordering; similar-looking media can have different support.

Important uncertainties

A known estimate is not a final checkout total when inbound shipping, originals return, cloud access, output media, or special handling lacks a published amount. The scenario cards keep those gaps visible rather than selecting a winner from a partial total.
