VERDICT

Should I use PhotoTag.ai?

Use AI to create keywords, titles, and descriptions for photos and videos. Export with metadata, or use our Lightroom plug-in and API. - phototag.ai

Depends. Buy if you are a stock contributor uploading daily and keywording time is your bottleneck. Skip if you have a small library or need a full DAM.
