Palette.fm alternatives
These aren't replacements for Palette. They're the tools I'd use next to it when an old photo has problems that color alone won't fix.
The order is mine: how well each one covers what you want from Palette.fm.
2 of 2 alternatives

When to pick each one
-
If your scan is small or blurry, enlarging it first with Upscayl (free, open source and on your own computer) gives the colorizer more detail to work with.

If there's something in the old photo you'd rather not keep, like a stranger in the background or an object in the way, Photofix erases it before or after you add color.
