Local AI is the expensive part — we priced it like a utility, not a luxury. Same class of on-device models, no rental, no cloud, no “per-photo credits”.
Side by side
Free is a real tool, not a demo. Pro removes the limits. Elite adds every feature that runs a neural network — and everything that works unattended.

Before you decide
Really. You pay once and the app is yours — it keeps working forever, offline, with no account. Every update in the 4.x series is free for all paid tiers. If a paid major version (5.0) ever ships, upgrading will be optional and discounted for existing owners — and your current version keeps working either way.
Pro is the unlimited organizer for one computer: organize by real date, rename, merge, undo, plus duplicate, blurry and screenshot cleanup. Elite adds everything that runs a neural network — AI search, Find a Person, text-in-photo search, automatic events — plus Workflows and Watch Folders automation, 3 devices across Mac and Windows, and priority support.
With Elite, yes: one key activates on up to 3 devices, mixing Mac and Windows freely. Pro covers 1 computer. You can deactivate a device yourself at any time to move the license.
Yes — Elite is available on this page whenever you're ready. If you bought Pro recently, contact us first and we'll make the switch fair.
No. The AI models run entirely on your own machine — the same class of vision models cloud services run on their servers, running privately on yours. No account, no upload, and it all works with Wi-Fi off.
Checkout is handled by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. Your license key arrives by email within seconds — paste it into FolioSort's settings and every feature of your tier unlocks instantly. VAT invoices are available from the same email.
There's a 14-day money-back guarantee, no hoops. Email us within 14 days of purchase and you get a full refund.
One payment today; a library that stays sorted for the next twenty years. And if it's not for you — 14 days, full refund, no questions.
