Stop paying for software
in months you don't shoot.
Pixieset, Pic-Time, ShootProof — $10–$50/mo whether or not you have an event this month. Pixbox is $8/mo for everything, or $5–$24 per event if you shoot less than 8 times a year. Works for weddings, birthdays, corporates, sports days — any event where someone needs photos.
Why photographers switch
01
Pixieset charges $20/mo whether you shoot 0 or 20 events this month.
Subscription tools don't care about your slow months. January, February, any month you didn't book a wedding — you're still paying. Pixbox is $8/mo for everything, or $5–$24 per event if you shoot fewer than 8 times a year. $0 in months you don't shoot on the per-event plan.
02
Google Drive is full. Something has to go.
You delete a client's folder to make room for the next wedding. They don't know yet. They will in 2027, when they ask for the photos and you have to say they're gone. Hard drive backup fails the same way — except there's no warning.
03
Your client loses access when you cancel your subscription.
Pixieset, ShootProof, Pic-Time — when you move on, your client's gallery disappears too. Their wedding is your responsibility until you retire. Pixbox hands ownership to the client permanently. Your job ends at delivery.

Every guest finds themselves.
You stop tagging. They stop scrolling. AI detects every face on upload, then matches each guest by selfie when they open the link. The guest who took the one shot of grandma laughing — she sees that. Not the other 1,999.
- Real-time face detection on upload
- Vector-search across the whole album
- Per-guest delivery via selfie or email
- Privacy: faces stay private to each guest
