What Tablif read on DustFox's site

- Price model: One-time · Yearly · free tier
- Free tier: Free up to a limit
- Stage: Live, no waitlist
- Alternative to: Gemini Photos
- How it differs: “The Duplicates album in Photos finds exact copies. DustFox also groups near-identical shots, such as bursts and the five takes of the same pose, and picks the best one to keep by sharpness, exposure, resolution and file size. It also shrinks videos and finds blurry shots, which Photos doesn't.”
