We are frequently compared to Legacybox as we both offer similar services. We both digitize home movies, photos, and film to a modern digital format and we both use a mail-in model where you send your memories in to be digitized. Although there are many similarities between both The Digitize Center and Legacybox, there are some notable differences. In this post, we will compare the two.
Price
Let's start out with the easiest comparison, price. Both The Digitize Center's and Legacybox's pricing is based on the number of items you send in, period. Where things get difficult is how Legacybox constantly seems to be changing their prices with different promotions.
| Order | The Digitize Center Price | Legacybox Price |
| 10 VHS Tapes with USB Thumb Drive | $139.99 + $21.99(USB) = $161.98 | $140 + $21.99(USB) = $161.99 |
| 10 VHS Tapes with Digital Download | $139.99 + $19.99(Digital) = $159.98 | $140 + ($19.99 per year) = $159.98 + annual fee |
Both companies pretty much have the same pricing with one notable exception: choosing the Cloud option comes with an annual fee, whereas The Digitize Center has no annual fee for the cloud.
Quality
Legacybox does not release all their quality metrics publicly, so it is difficult to compare. They do release quality metrics on analog video tapes and photo scanning and they fall right in the industry average. However, they do not release sufficient quality metrics on film reels. The Digitize Center does publicly release all its quality metrics.
Turnaround Time
Turnaround time is the time it takes for each company to digitize your items from the moment they receive them. Both The Digitize Center and Legacybox have a Current Processing Time page that frequently updates. As of the time of this writing, the companies have the following estimated turnaround time for standard orders:
| The Digitize Center | Legacybox | |
| Processing Time | 2-3 Weeks | 10-12 Weeks |
Other Aspects to Consider
Both companies have a good reputation from their customers. The Digitize Center has an average customer rating of 4.9/5 and Legacybox has over 6,000 reviews. In terms of what each company can digitize, both companies have the similar offerings, but The Digitize Center can digitize CDs and DVDs, which Legacybox cannot.
