Pixieset-Alternativen für unterschiedliche Kundengalerie-Abläufe.

Full photography platforms

Pixieset, ShootProof, Pic-Time

Good when you need galleries, delivery, website pages, print sales, contracts, client management, and a broader photography-business system.

Lightweight private galleries

Abistu

Good when you only need to send images, collect selections, per-item comments, one general request comment, and client contact.

Cloud storage tools

Google Drive, Dropbox

Good for storing, syncing, and delivering files, but not ideal when you need structured visual decisions from clients.

File transfer tools

WeTransfer

Good for sending final files after the decision is already made. Less useful for selection, comments, approval, or requests.

Pixieset may be more than you need

If you only want a client to choose images, you may not need a complete photography platform.

Your work may not be photography

Interior designers, florists, makers, boutiques, installers, and resellers may need visual galleries without adopting photographer-specific language.

Your flow may be smaller

Sometimes you only need one gallery for a proposal, catalogue, selection, or approval.

You want less configuration

If the goal is to send a link today, a lighter tool may be more practical than configuring a full suite.

You do not sell prints

If you do not need print sales, fulfilment, stores, or photography products, much of a full platform may be irrelevant.

You want an answer, not a platform

A client often only needs to open, look, select, comment, and send.

Abistu

Simple selection, comments, approvals, and visual requests

The lightest alternative when you need less platform and a clearer answer. Create a private gallery, send a link, let the client select items, add per-item comments, leave one general request comment, and submit contact details.

ShootProof

Photographers who need a broader business platform

Useful if you need galleries, sales, contracts, invoices, and more business tools around a photography workflow.

Pic-Time

Photographers focused on polished galleries and sales

Can make sense if your business needs a more sales-oriented photography experience around galleries, delivery, slideshows, and print sales.

CloudSpot

Photographers who want branded gallery delivery

A photography-focused client gallery platform with delivery, branding, and mobile presentation features.

SmugMug

Long-term photo hosting, galleries, and portfolio use

Good when you want a place to host, organize, display, and sell photography over time.

Google Drive or Dropbox

Storage, backup, shared folders, and final delivery

Useful for files and folders, but not designed for visual selection, item comments, or structured client requests.

WeTransfer

One-off delivery of large final files

Useful for sending a ZIP or heavy final files. It does not solve the previous step: helping the client decide what they want.

Your own website

Brand, SEO, public presence, and long-term credibility

Important for a complete business presence, but it does not automatically solve a private gallery with client selections and comments.

Photographers who need simple proofing

Favorites, retouching selections, batch approval, album images, or photos the client wants to receive.

Designers and interior professionals

Materials, finishes, renders, mood boards, versions, references, and visual proposals for client review.

Makers, jewellers, and artisans

Unique pieces, variants, textures, materials, finishes, sizes, custom orders, or small collections.

Florists and event planners

Bouquets, decoration styles, tables, inspiration, colour options, references, and event proposals.

Boutiques and stylists

Looks, garments, colours, sizes, combinations, private stock, or pre-selections for clients.

Installers and contractors

Past work, finishes, materials, installation examples, project options, or visual consultations.
