Credit where it is due.
ShootProof's unlimited plan at $60 is simple and genuinely unlimited, and pricing by photo count means you never think about file sizes: a 1,500-photo plan holds 1,500 photos whether they are 5 MB or 50 MB. It also ships contracts today, which Piczel does not.
The short version.
Photo-count pricing rewards big files and punishes volume. A wedding photographer delivering 800 frames a job fills the 1,500-photo plan in two weddings and the 5,000-photo plan in six, while 100 GB on Piczel holds roughly 10,000 to 20,000 delivered JPEGs. ShootProof wins if you want unlimited for a flat $60, or if contracts matter more to you than a portfolio site on your own domain.
