A Pixieset alternative with unlimited photos and video in hours

Pixieset is one of the best-known client gallery platforms and it earned that reputation: it is polished, stable and backed by a large ecosystem. Still, many photographers hit the same walls — storage that fills up after a few weddings, video that costs extra, and invoices and contracts that live in yet another tool. Here is a fair side-by-side so you can decide for yourself.

The short version

• Photos: unlimited on every Captures plan, including Free; storage is a fair-use limit from 100 GB to 6 TB. Pixieset prices by gigabyte, starting at 3 GB on Free.
• Video: Captures counts video in hours (30 minutes free up to 60 hours on Studio), streamed in HD with the original available to download. Pixieset Free has no video and extra video is $5 per month per hour.
• Business: inquiries, proposals, e-signed contracts, questionnaires, invoices and payment tracking are built in.
• Languages: English, Serbian Latin and Serbian Cyrillic, with Cyrillic-ready fonts.
• Data: originals stored in EU data centres (Germany/Finland) with a backup copy.

Where Pixieset is stronger

Pixieset is a mature platform with a large user community and many integrations. It has native mobile apps, while Captures is a web app you can install as a PWA. Its print store takes card payments and works with labs in several countries; the Captures store currently works with cash on delivery. If selling prints to clients worldwide is central to your business, that matters.

Where Captures is the better fit

1. 1

   Stop counting photos

   A 1,500-image wedding in full resolution easily takes 20–40 GB. With unlimited photos on every plan you never delete old galleries to make room.

2. 2

   Video without the gigabyte maths

   A cinema-style video gallery with a looping film hero, collections, Play all and TV casting. Clients stream in Full HD (1080p, plus 360p for weak connections) and download the original up to 4K.

3. 3

   One place for the whole job

   Inquiry form on your site, proposal with packages, e-signed contract, deposit invoice, calendar reminders and finally the gallery.

4. 4

   Built for the region

   Serbian Latin and Cyrillic, invoices with IPS QR codes and SEF e-invoice export if you work with clients in Serbia.

What your clients get

• 8 themes, 14 colour palettes and 10 font sets.
• Favourites and multiple lists with limits, such as pick 60 for the album.
• Comments, slideshow with music, ZIP download in web size or originals with an optional PIN.
• Watermarks, expiry dates with reminders, password-protected and private galleries, QR code sharing.
• Find me face search only with the studio's opt-in and each guest's explicit consent; the selfie is not stored and it is never used for galleries with minors.
• Lightroom Classic publish plugin and Album Starter, which drafts an album from favourites.

Switching from Pixieset

1. Create a free account — no card needed.
2. Set up your brand: logo, colours and gallery theme.
3. Run new jobs in Captures and let active Pixieset galleries expire naturally.
4. Re-upload archive galleries clients still visit from Lightroom or your drive.
5. Upgrade when you need more storage or video; cancel any time, and downgrading never deletes galleries.
