equiReelz vs Google Photos
Google Photos is a great general backup — everything from your phone ends up there. equiReelz is narrower: only horse videos, but tagged and searchable in ways a general library can't match.
What they have in common
Both preserve original 4K / HD quality. Both have apps on iOS, Android and the web. Both let you share via link. Both offer basic filtering by date — and Google Photos does a surprisingly good job on location and people search.
Where they differ
Google Photos doesn't know what a horse is. You can't search "Donatello at Sentower Park" and get the jumping round in two seconds. equiReelz adds horse, rider, discipline and competition tags, frame-by-frame playback, side-by-side comparison, QR-code sharing at ringside, and automatic routing of new videos to trainers or owners.
Using them together
Keep Google Photos as the everything-from-your-phone backup. Upload the horse videos to equiReelz so the trainer, owner, and rider can find them without scrolling through six months of camera roll. The iOS app can auto-detect horse videos in your camera roll so you don't have to choose twice.
