If print and album sales are a large part of your business, Pic-Time is built for that. If you deliver a lot of film or want the CRM and the delivery in one place, the differences below matter.

When Pic-Time is the better choice
- It exists today. Pixally launches on January 1, 2027.
- A choice of print labs: Pic-Time's store works with more than 30, and has an album designer. Pixally sells prints and albums too, shipped only to the US and Canada.
- It is far cheaper as a gallery: from $7 a month billed yearly, with a free plan.
- You already use a CRM it connects to, such as HoneyBook or Studio Ninja, and want to keep it.
- Large video libraries can be cheaper per gigabyte: 1 TB of extra video storage is $25 a month billed yearly, where Pixally sells 500 GB for $450 once.
- Face and selfie search for guests, slideshows with music, and Lightroom uploads.
When Pixally is the better choice
Pixally is the better choice if you deliver a lot of film, run second shooters and editors, or want your bookings, contracts, payments, edit and delivery in one system.
Film delivery without a ceiling
Pic-Time's video is a storage allowance by plan, 5 GB to 60 GB, with more as a monthly subscription. Pixally puts no limit on film length, plays films with chapters so a couple can jump to the ceremony or the first dance, and sells delivery in packs (50 GB for $50, 100 GB for $95, 500 GB for $450) that never expire.
The CRM and the delivery in one place
Pic-Time has no CRM of its own, so bookings, contracts and payments live in a second system. In Pixally the same project carries the inquiry, proposal, contract, payments, the edit through post-production (Pro and Studio), and the delivered gallery.
Second shooters and contractors
Second shooters get a free contractor account that works across every studio they shoot for, with their availability, travel fee and tax form in one place. Second shooter management and the contractor portal are on Pro (up to 10) and Studio (unlimited).
Switching to Pixally
Pixally will move your last 12 months of active client projects across for free, and turn your existing documents into Pixally templates. Winter, when the season is quiet, is the easiest time to switch.
