Pixieset plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| Basic | $8/month | 4 | +$8/month, 4 more features |
| Plus | $16/month | 4 | +$8/month, 3 more features |
| Ultimate | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Pixieset in for delivering a wedding gallery with a pin code, a print store attached and download limits set per collection, selling prints without holding stock, using an integrated lab that ships directly to the client, running contracts, invoices and booking enquiries alongside delivery instead of paying for a separate studio crm, giving a client a favourites list to choose album images without exchanging files by email or wetransfer. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Pixieset are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Photography
Too few photography tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Pixieset badges page.
Before you pay for Pixieset
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Pixieset runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Pixieset of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The full record is on the Pixieset review, and the rest of the category is under best photography tools.
