Picdrop is a proofing and delivery tool from Berlin with annotations, Capture One export and team plans. Picvelo does a narrower job for less money, in your client's own language. Below is when each one makes sense.
Picdrop has been around for more than 12 years and covers more feedback and workflow tools than we do.
We do the gallery, the selection and the payment for extra photos, and charge less for it.
Picdrop lists Free (1 GB, 3 galleries), Pro 14.99 EUR, Advanced 39.99 EUR and Business 99.99 EUR a month, net prices (October 2026, monthly billing). Picvelo Pro is 7 EUR for 50 GB.
Your client marks a check, a heart or a reject and can comment on any photo. No sign-up: you send the client a login and password.
After the client confirms, you get a list of file names to paste into a Lightroom filter, or a ZIP of working copies.
You write to us and the person who built this answers. Usually the same day.

Both let a client open a gallery without an account and pick photos. Picdrop adds scribbles on images, team voting, Capture One export, Live Push from the camera and team plans. Picvelo covers the gallery, the selection, comments and payment for extra photos, at a lower price and with the client side in Polish, English or German. If your clients need to mark up details on a photo, Picdrop fits better.
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.

WeTransfer sends files as a link and is not built for proofing. Picdrop and Picvelo are both galleries where the client opens a link, looks at the photos and marks favorites. Picdrop has the wider set of feedback and team tools. Picvelo has the lower price and also handles payment for extra photos. If you only need to move one big folder once, a transfer link is enough.
Scribbles on images, team voting, Capture One export, Live Push from the camera and file versions are on Picdrop and not in Picvelo. Picdrop also has plans for larger teams. If one of those decides your workflow, try Picdrop first. We would rather you pick the right tool.
There is no automatic import and we will not pretend otherwise. You switch one session at a time: create an account, upload your next session and send the client a link. Finish the old galleries where they are. For a larger archive, write to us and we will help you sort it out.
