With iTunes you can only sync photos - no organization
In iTunes you select a folder and sync the photos in that folder - not the folder
for ICPL you enable it on all devices you want and log all into the same iCloud account and they automatically sync - photos and organization - all changes (additions, deletions or edits) made on any device are made on all devices including iCloud.com - for devices with limited storage you use optimized photos in them
iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support

You do not have to us Photos at all - you can use any software you want
You do not have to use iCloud Photo Library at all - it too is totally optional
Of course if you want to have the features of any service you have to pay for that service - if you want to fly someplace you have to purchase a ticker - if you want more leg room you have to pay more - it you want business class you have to pay even more - that is the way the world works - companies offer you services and if you want to use them then you have to pay for them - Apple gives you Photos fro free and you choose to use it or not - they give you a number of options including iTunes sync an image capture for free and they give you a 5 GB started storage for free - if you want more then of course you have to pay - do you go to work every day and expect no pay for your time? Neither do Apple employees nor does Apple expect nothing for providing you with optional services

Aug 22, 2016 8:37 PMby ADLD,Understood but to have this as the only option to be able to organize my pictures the way I want after having spent thousands of dollars already on the programs and equipment its not like I'm asking for extra freebies. I have an IMac and I have an IPhone 6plus. With IPhoto I could organize my photos with folders simply by synching my phone with iTunes. My point is why now should I have to pay for this as that's apparently what I will have to do as the only way to do this with photo is doing it in the cloud is what you're telling me. It's not like I'm using a free computer from Apple or a free phone. Or a free IPad Pro. I simply want to put my folders that I have set up on my IMac on my phone - too much to ask without paying an extra fee? I don't think so.
