PhotoPrism vs digiKam Comments
This as far as I can tell is a web based solution (which may be possible to self-host as claimed here, but it's not obvious that is an option in reality), digikam is a local option, not relying on network support. Even locally hosted it's not really an alternative when, "works offline" is selected. Unless all the official information is deeply misleading.
