How many events does the free Boromlia plan hold?

Twenty, on one timeline, with photos, places, sources and every export included. A further timeline of up to 50 events costs $2.99 once. Advanced, at $12 a month, has no limit on timelines or events.

Will Boromlia suggest events for me?

No. Boromlia has no AI features: every event on your timeline is one you typed, imported or built from your own photographs. If you draft events with an AI tool, put them in a CSV with a source column and import it on Advanced, checking each row in the preview.

Can I put a Boromlia timeline inside an article?

Yes, on Advanced, once it is public or shared. The embed is one iframe tag, with no script and no key, and it shows the live timeline, so a correction made after publication reaches every page that embeds it.

Timepath alternative: Boromlia vs Timepath

Choose Boromlia if

Ten events is not enough: Boromlia’s free plan holds 20, photographs included, with no card.
Geography matters to the story: located entries become numbered waypoints on a map, joined by an optional route line.
Each claim needs its authority: a source field on every entry, and a filter that lists the ones still missing it.
You would rather buy than rent: $2.99 once for one more timeline of up to 50 events, or $49.99 once for everything Advanced has.

Stay with Timepath if

You run a news site and want timelines assembled from your own articles, which Timepath’s Collections product does.
You need an embed on a free account: Timepath’s free plan embeds, while Boromlia’s embed is on Advanced.

The main difference: a story layout versus a checkable record

Timepath is built around presentation: templates, fonts, an AI that proposes events, and an embed code for the article page. Boromlia is built around what a fact-checker would ask of each entry: when, where, who, and on what authority. Those answers are fields, not prose, so a correction is one edit and every layout redraws from it.

That matters most when a reader writes in to ask “how do you know?”. A Boromlia timeline answers from the entry itself, not from the article around it.

Sortable table view. Boromlia: Yes, the Log style on Advanced: one row per event, with the columns you choose, sortable. Timepath: to be verified

Ranges and single dates. Boromlia: Both, on every plan, on one shared axis, so a two-week phase and a single decision sit together. Timepath: A start and an end date per event

Time scale. Boromlia: Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months or years, set per timeline. BC dates too. Timepath: to be verified

Source on every event. Boromlia: Yes, a field of its own, and a filter shows the events with or without one. Timepath: to be verified

Photographs per event. Boromlia: Up to 10 per event. Bulk upload takes up to 300 at a time and reads the date and GPS position from each file. Timepath: Images, video and links on the paid plans; the free plan has no image uploads

Default visibility. Boromlia: Private until you share or publish it. A share link is read-only unless you allow more, and kept out of search results. Timepath: A new timeline starts private and must be made public to publish or embed

Moving from Timepath to Boromlia

Open your Timepath timeline and list its events in a spreadsheet: date, end date, title and text. Add latitude and longitude for any event you want on the map.
Save the sheet as CSV. On the free plan you can instead type in up to 20 events.
On Advanced, choose Add multiple from a file, match each column to a field, and read the preview before anything is saved.
Attach the images to each event from its form. If you embedded the Timepath version, swap its code for Boromlia’s single iframe tag once the timeline is public or shared.
