Chosing the right photo app for my family

So, Immich vs Ente, this is my last piece of the selfhosted puzzle. Please help me make an informed decision:

Immich

on the plus side, it seems to have more features and it has a gazillion integrations with other selfhosted software. Downside: breaking changes are fairly common AFAIK.

Ente

looks like the opposite, more mature, scoped and less integrated.

Am I reading this right? Am I missing something?

Edit: Thanks everyone, I'm going with immich!

I'm super basic backup wise.

I run a rsync command that backs up the database dump and all the immich assets to a USB hdd. I do that every couple of days or when I think about it haha

I then back that USB drive up to another USB drive on my personal computer.

These drives are wd Reds and in USB enclosure.

My buddy has offered to host a off site backup but I have a toddler and as such 0 time.

I probably should look into some cold storage or something but shits expensive these days and I'm currently satisfied with where I am.

Knocks on wood

Additional context... I'm running Debian with mergerfs across like 8 drives. So my photos are spread across several drives in my /storage/photos folder. So In oder to lose everything all at once. It would have to be a flood or house fire or something..
