Pic-Time is one of the best tools in the world for selling photos and marketing around galleries. Picvelo is smaller and does less: the client picks photos, you get the list. Here is an honest comparison, including what we do not have.
Pic-Time wins on features and there is no arguing with that. If your revenue is built around print sales, it is the tool made for exactly that.
We are not trying to catch Pic-Time on features. We win where a photographer pays for modules they never open.
You send a gallery in three minutes. There is nothing to configure before you start working.
You sell digital files and order prints wherever you like. No middleman adds itself to your margin.
Private previews, a watermark and downloads blocked until the client has paid.
The list of selected photos in one click, straight into a Library filter.
Pic-Time (also written Pictime or Pic Time) is a gallery platform for photographers with extensive print sales, marketing automation and prices in dollars. Plans run from a free tier and Starter at 8 USD a month up to 50 USD for unlimited storage. Picvelo does less: client proofing and delivery, with 50 GB for 7 EUR a month.
Pic-Time is a sales platform: premium galleries, a print store, marketing automation and AI, billed in dollars. Picvelo focuses on one stage: the client picks photos in a protected gallery in their own language and you get a ready list for editing. If you want the tool to sell prints for you, Pic-Time does it better. If you want to deliver photos quickly and collect the selection, Picvelo is enough and simpler.
As of October 2026, Pic-Time has a free plan, Starter at 8 USD a month, Professional at 25 USD a month (100 GB) and Advanced at 50 USD a month (unlimited). Picvelo: a free plan (3 galleries, 10 clients, 2 GB), Pro at 7 EUR a month or 75 EUR a year with 50 GB, Studio at 15 EUR a month or 150 EUR a year with 200 GB and team access. Every new account gets 30 days of Pro without a card. Check the competitor pricing at the source, it changes.
There is no automatic import and we are not going to pretend there is. In practice you move one session at a time: create an account, upload the photos from your next session and send the client a link. You finish the old galleries where they are.
No. We have no anniversary campaigns or abandoned cart reminders and we are not planning to build a second Pic-Time. What we do have is what closes a session: a package of photos included, a surcharge for extras and files released only after payment.
We take 2% on online payments and nothing on direct settlements (transfer, cash), on every plan. Pic-Time charges commission on your markup and waives it only on higher plans or when you collect the payment yourself.
