A Pixieset alternative for focused photo delivery

Pixieset gives you a website, client galleries, contracts, and a print store. If you only need to hand finished photos to a client, shoots.page keeps the process direct and uncluttered.

What Pixieset covers

Pixieset is one of the most complete platforms for working photographers. It brings together a Client Gallery, a website builder, Studio Manager for contracts and invoicing, an integrated print store with automatic lab fulfillment, and a mobile gallery app. Client Gallery plans range from a free 3 GB tier up to $40 per month billed annually ($50 monthly) for unlimited storage, while the Pixieset Suite bundles all apps starting at $28 per month.

It earns its reputation. If you want to manage your client paperwork, sell physical prints through an automated storefront, and host your portfolio under one roof, Pixieset provides an ecosystem built to run an entire business.

When the suite is more than you need

When a platform includes an entire studio suite, photo delivery becomes one feature among many. Before you can send a set, you navigate account settings, print price sheets, layout builders, and branding controls. Every gallery lives inside a broader system designed for commerce and client management, filled with options you might never touch.

If your process is simply editing a set and sharing it with your client, that overhead is optional. Pixieset is not flawed for offering these tools — it is just far wider than delivery. When the job is only handing over finished files, using a focused tool lets you finish without wading through an entire studio system.

Recipients open their link with no account, no app installation, and no sign-up screens.
Original files are stored and delivered byte-for-byte, preserving your exact uploaded files.
Built-in photo proofing lets clients pick favorites and shows a running price for extras, while the money stays between you and the client.
