- For today's video I'm looking at 4 of the leading luxe photo gallery brands and pitting them against each other to see who reigns supreme....or, ya know, who does pretty good with what I toss at them.
I've got 6 categories that I'm going to be judging each system on, and I've split this video up into 2 parts. In this part we'll be looking at:
The Free Zone (a look at the free tiers each brand offers) - 3:09
The Best Bang for your Buck - 5:15
Ease of Gallery Creation - 10:16
Fastest Uploader - 15:05
If you are unfamiliar with these brands or what a client photo gallery is, let me quickly explain! A client photo gallery is anything that allows a photographer to deliver digital/downloadable images to their clients. These systems give the photographer the ability to share and deliver images quickly and stylishly. The 4 brands we are looking at: Pixieset, Cloudspot, Pass, and Pic-Time are extremely popular amongst professionals for their sleek designs, easy uploaders, and print shop capabilities.
Tune into part 2 for the remaining 2 categories + a little bonus snarky category that I couldn't help but include :P. Let me know in the comments what your favorite system is, and if I should look at other systems!
(Quick Note - The opinions expressed in this video are all from my personal experience. You may have a completely different experience with these systems and that is perfectly fine! I chose to do this video series because I wanted to show the differences in these galleries that all feel extremely similar and can be overwhelming to look at when you are considering one for your business. This video is not designed to make a decision for you. Instead I hope that it can assist you when trying to weigh all of your client gallery options.)
Good review! I've been using Pixieset for a couple of years now, mainly for sending clients real estate collections and to run my website; their website look is clean and decently robust. One little trick to get around the upload time is right click whatever it is you're needing to multitask and open it in a new tab. I typically hit upload and continue on creating or managing collections in another tab, etc., so I'm not stuck waiting. Cheers
Thank you so much for watching! That is an awesome tip! 🤗
One thing to add, Pixieset has a Lightroom plugin that lets you upload/create your client galleries from inside lightroom. I haven't tried this on an actual shoot but it seems like this would speed creating and uploading the gallery because you can do it while you're editing.
Wow this was a good review. Straight to the point. This video needs to be share to the world. Initially I was going to choose pixiset but this video help me choose pic time Well done. New sub from Canada 🇨🇦
Lol it is shared to the world 😅
This has been very helpful. About to start part 2. Thank you for your time and effort. Much appreciated
I use Lightroom’s proofing gallery function. Easy to use & I already pay for it.
I loved your energy and the way you say everything so detail. You're really good 👌🏾👏🏾 You definitely deserve more subscribers 💪🏾🤙🏾
Thanks for taking the time to make this video - super helpful! I'm looking to change from Pixieset.
Good breakdown! thank you! PicTime seems to be owning this space w ease
You should reach out to pic-time for an affiliate link tbh..... a lot of people choosing them with this video
Fantastic video. Great format. Very helpful.
Thank you! I'm glad that you found it helpful!
Very good review! Keep it up.
As a Pixieset user, Thank you for making this video as it is helpful to understand what options are available.
I will sat that you can update the dashboard while uploading files. While you can not continue to upload and update on the same page, you can open a second tab. Actually, you can uplaod in multiple tabs at once and upadte the gallery settings in separate tab as well.
This is not a HUGE negative, you can be highly effecient with Pixieset.
Thank you so much for your comment! That is awesome to hear! Knowing that there is a work around for one of my big sore spots with PixieSet is great. And who knows! Maybe a future update to PixieSet will make it so that users don't have to open tabs or find workarounds 🤞. Thank you again for your comment and watching! I love hearing from current users of these systems 😀!
I think you missed the main category which is the ease for clients to access, shortlist and communicate with photographer. Client comes first - if they get ease of use then that is the main thing.
Hey! Thanks for watching and your comment! The thing I love most about this video is that these categories are totally my own, if you have a different set of categories you'd look for when shopping a new gallery - that's totally awesome! My video and categories aren't going to match everyone's ideas of what should be looked at, and that's why I encourage doing your own research and doing your own testing before committing! Thanks again for watching! 😄
@@BritneyClauseHAHAHA GOTTEM I LOVE THIS RESPONSE
@@prestoncoleman718 why? I loved the video and made a comment and got a decent response which I don't entirely agree with but I respect.
@@BritneyClause Thanks for the response. I was shopping for a gallery that my client would love and wanted to know what their experience would be like on the client side. At the end of the day they are called 'client gallery'. But following on from your video I signed up to trials of the shortlisted ones and found the experience is very similar - almost as if they are using the same technology.
Great video. Thankyou! Hope this reaches 100,000 views
Hey! Thank you so much! I appreciate it! 😄
I wish you had also covered client experience on how they shortlist and easy of communication etc. The pricing comparison could have been covered in 1 minute.
You are litterally a goddess for this video.
Very helpful - thanks!
Maybe this is my export settings - does anyone notice the photos uploaded on Pic-Time appear darker than as edited?
I don’t know if they updated it since the making of this video but cloud spot does 10gb now
Would love to get your opinion on these vs Zenfolio.
Thank you for your comment! I definitely have a video in mind for Zenfolio vs SmugMug since they both have similar website hosting abilities as well as shop offerings, and I'll totally do a quick call back to these 4 within that video as well 🤗!
Thank you Britney. Useful. Glad you didn't "shut up." I loved your explanations. #NowSubscribed
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! :D I'm hoping to have more videos coming soon!
Porque Pixieset comprime en resolucion y peso cuando el cliente descarga sus fotos? (dato: la cuenta es gratis)
Puede ser porque la cuenta es gratis o hay una configuración donde puedes elegir que compresión quieres que se aplique a las fotos
@@Jonny2won configuro pixieset para que la descarguen como el archivo original. subo la imagen alta que pesa 8mb y cuando la descargan se comprime a 500kb. Así es , la cuenta es versión gratis. Quisas sea eso, pero Me gustaría asegurarme que pagando no pasa eso, para no sorprenderme después :'( .
@@kevinochoa592 Entiendo. Has contactado al soporte técnico ? También podrias probar la versión paga por un mes
Thank you really helpfull!
Does Pic Time have a invoice system like pixieset?
Pic-Time does not, but I'm not going to be surprised if more gallery systems move to an all inclusive type offering like PixieSet offers! A little off topic rambling incoming: I signed up recently for PixieSet's Studio Manager to test out their invoice and contracts since they are one of the more affordable places to actually do direct links for those client items. In my mind, the ability to direct link out puts PixieSet's Manager above systems like Honeybook even! I can't wait to play with it more!
Do all of these compress your images the way cloudspot does?
Great question! I just went through and tested some downloads from all 3 services (I'm combining Pass and Pic-Time since they use the same system) and it looks like the other galleries do not compress images. Now, I can only download social media sized images from CloudSpot since I'm using a free version, but I can still see the compression rather clearly on the images. I truthfully did not even realize the compression on CloudSpot images until you brought it to my attention, so thank you for mentioning this!
@@BritneyClause Pixieset compresses images (jpegs for social media downloads, for example) and gives the client options for which size image to download. Of course printing is done from the full-resolution uncompressed image.
I create online albums using Lightroom. It’s included in my subscription, and it’s way cheaper ($240-includes Lightroom and Photoshop) than the 4 you tested. I get 1TB of storage. Am I the only one that uses this?
Hey! Thanks for your comment! Is this an Adobe subscription? Or another Client Gallery delivery system? If it's another Client Gallery service if you wouldn't mind sharing the name of it, I'd love to look more into it!
Id like to know more info as well.
You can create online albums with Lightroom (not LrC) but it’s definitely nothing near a proper client facing gallery like these sites allow. Adobe portfolio is included for free and is pretty good for making a portfolio site but doesn’t have tools for clients or any way to sell stuff
why is Pass made by Pictime? I don't understand the strategy :(
I can't understand it either! I've tried searching for an answer, but haven't been able to find anyone talking about it. I've seen other labs using similar uploaders, but that's nothing in comparison to the exact same system that Pass is using from Pic-Time. I have a few guesses as to why this might be the case, but I'm still looking further into those guesses 🤗.
Thank you for your comment!
At 1438 you said the winner is Passtime. Obviously you must have meant Pic-Time but you may wish to edit that.
Thank you so much for your comment! I went and checked that timestamp in order to I confirm that I did in fact mean to say PassTime and I did give both Pass and Pic-Time a point because they both "won" that category.
At the start of this video I mention that Pass and Pic-Time are very similar, and that when those similarities end up giving both of them a point I will refer to them as PassTime - a combination of the two system names. Thanks again for watching and commenting! 🤗
Need timestamps!
The time stamps are in the description.
What about google drive
its horrible. I use Google Photos instead
Not designed for client work and definitely not good enough. Google drive is a storage platform, like dropbox. It’s unprofessional and no one wants to individually download 300 images 1 by 1.
Anybody know the best way to automate sending them more images gradually like monthly or weekly? Just for free. So when i cull the original shoot for the images i am going to show them immediately i can set aside a batch to send them a few at a time automated over say a year or two?
ok what the f.... I've give you all my attention for this video and then for your conclusion i get pimp out to have to watch a part 2 video for your conclusion from the first one,,,,, totally pissed, don't take advantage of people time like this ever again... !!!! wtf.
Good production and content. But please speak faster
just put speed on 1.25 if it bothers you. She speaks fine
🤩😍
