Our pick under $100 is the Dragon Touch 10.1" WiFi frame at $49.99, because it works with or without Wi-Fi. It takes photos from the family's phones over Wi-Fi and also plays them from an SD card or USB drive. If you'd rather buy on Amazon, the Dragon Touch Classic 10 is $69.99 there. All four frames below cost less than half the price of an Aura or Skylight.

This 10.1-inch touchscreen frame (1280×800) has 16 GB of storage and reads photos from an SD card or USB drive as well as over Wi-Fi, so it suits almost any home. Family can send photos from a phone app. It only works with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, which most home routers offer. Dragon Touch sells versions with different apps, so check the app named in the manual before you buy.

Most storage for the price: AEEZO 10.1"

The AEEZO frame is $49.99 on Amazon with 32 GB of storage, a 1280×800 touchscreen and an SD card slot. It's set up through the AiMOR app and has a 4.5-star rating from more than 9,100 ratings. We haven't found a USB port in its listing, so use an SD card if you want to load photos without Wi-Fi.

For reliable Wi-Fi: Dragon Touch Classic 10 Elite

The Elite adds a magnetic stand that turns between portrait and landscape and a motion sensor that switches the screen on when someone walks by. It uses the OurPhoto app. The catch: it has no SD card or USB slot, so it needs Wi-Fi to get photos. Skip it for a home with weak or no internet.

What you give up under $100

Budget frames show photos well, but the apps are less polished than Aura's or Skylight's, and family usually needs an app to send photos, not just email. If the person you're buying for has relatives who only use email, the Skylight Frame is worth the extra cost. See also how to choose a digital photo frame.
