Is there a limit on events or timelines?

On Advanced there is neither: unlimited timelines and unlimited events for $12 a month. The free plan is one timeline of up to 20 events, and $2.99, paid once, adds one more timeline of up to 50 events.

Can I use Boromlia without a subscription?

Yes. The free plan needs no card, and each extra timeline of up to 50 events is $2.99, bought outright; it never expires or renews. Founding Member, while it is offered, is $49.99 paid once for everything Advanced has, with nothing to renew.

How does Boromlia handle photographs?

An event holds up to 10. Bulk upload takes up to 300 at a time, reads each file’s date and GPS position, and groups the photos into draft events you can rename and regroup more or less finely, so a trip’s pictures become dated, placed events with little typing. A photo with no GPS position gets no place. Export returns them as a zip, with a photos.csv file naming the event each belongs to.

ChronoFlo alternative: Boromlia vs ChronoFlo

Choose Boromlia if

You keep hitting limits: Advanced is $12 a month for unlimited timelines and unlimited events.
You would rather not subscribe: an extra timeline of up to 50 events is $2.99 once, and everything Advanced has is $49.99 once.
You have hundreds of photos: bulk upload takes up to 300 at a time, reads each file’s date and GPS position, and groups them into draft events by time and place.
You want a source on every event, a map and, on Advanced, a sortable table of the same record.

Stay with ChronoFlo if

You want a bigger free plan: ChronoFlo’s is reported as one timeline of up to 50 events, against Boromlia’s 20.
You want its vertical and horizontal photo-first layouts in particular.

The main difference: limits, and how you pay

Boromlia’s free plan is one timeline of up to 20 events. A slot for one more timeline of up to 50 events is $2.99, paid once and never renewed. Advanced removes both limits for the timelines you make on it, for $12 a month. If you stop paying, nothing is deleted: each slot you own keeps one timeline editable, and the others stay readable and exportable. Founding Member, while it is offered, is everything Advanced has for $49.99 once.

Moving from ChronoFlo to Boromlia

Put your ChronoFlo events in a spreadsheet with date, title, description and place columns. Add latitude and longitude if you have them: a place name alone does not put an event on the map.
Save it as CSV. Boromlia reads CSV, TSV and TXT files of up to 1,000 rows at a time.
On Advanced, choose Add multiple from a file, match the columns, preview and import.
A spreadsheet carries no photos, so attach them to each event from its form, up to 10 each. For a timeline that is mostly photos, bulk upload can build the events from the files instead of an import.
