The difference.
- The short version
- Pic-Time charges $25 a month for 100 GB, or $21 billed yearly, and has no bookings or invoices of its own. Piczel's Studio plan gives you the same 100 GB for $10, with a portfolio site and the studio tools included.
- Where Piczel wins
- The same 100 GB costs less than half as much. You also get a portfolio site on your own domain, where Pic-Time has sneak-peek pages, and bookings, estimates and invoices built in, so you don't need HoneyBook or Studio Ninja on the side.
- Where Pic-Time is ahead
- Face recognition and AI search inside the gallery, and store campaigns that sell prints on a schedule. If lab print sales are most of your income, that automation can pay for itself. If not, it is $25 a month for 100 GB.
Questions about Pic-Time, answered.
- Is Piczel cheaper than Pic-Time?
- Yes. Pic-Time's Professional plan is $25 a month for 100 GB, or $21 billed yearly. Piczel's Studio plan is $10 a month for the same 100 GB, or $100 a year, and Pro is $30 for 300 GB, each with a portfolio site and studio tools included.
- Does Piczel have face recognition like Pic-Time?
- Not today. Piczel has favourites, proofing and search by filename, and clients open the gallery from a link with no sign-up.
- Can I move from Pic-Time to Piczel?
- Yes. Send us an export or temporary access and we move your galleries, clients and contacts by hand, at no charge, on any plan. Your Pic-Time galleries stay live until we are done.
