Both platforms offer beautiful photo galleries and client proofing. But Pixieset stops there — while FrameCourier adds professional video review, unlimited team users, and delivery tools Pixieset doesn't offer. Here's how they compare.
Pixieset is a polished photo gallery platform for wedding and portrait photographers. FrameCourier was built for studios that deliver both photos AND video — with unlimited users on every plan.
Both platforms offer beautiful photo galleries with proofing, RAW support, and watermarking. FrameCourier adds embedded copyright metadata, a licence builder, and shortlinks with expiry and passwords.
Pixieset has no video review workflow — no timestamped comments, no revision rounds, no SRT subtitles. FrameCourier has full video review with all of the above, built right into every plan.
Pixieset charges per tier with limited storage. No multi-user client support. FrameCourier includes unlimited team users and multi-user clients on every plan — $49/mo Pro covers your whole studio.
Pixieset starts at $8/mo but adds up quickly with storage limits and no video features. FrameCourier includes everything.
| Plan | Pixieset | FrameCourier |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 3GB | 3GB — all features included |
| Starter / Basic | $8/mo (10GB, photos only) | $19/mo (100GB, photos + video) |
| Mid-tier | $16/mo (100GB, photos only) | $49/mo (500GB, photos + video, unlimited users) |
| Pro / Top-tier | $24-40/mo (1TB-unlimited, no video review) | $99/mo (2TB, photos + video, unlimited users) |
| Video Add-on | $5/mo per additional hour of HD video | Included in every plan — no extra cost |
| Team Members | Per-tier limits | Unlimited on every plan |
Pixieset Pro ($24/mo, 1TB photos) + separate video review tool = $40-150+/mo. And your clients still need two logins.
