Showpiece vs Pic-Time
Polished client galleries and a strong print store, business tools still growing.
Pic-Time makes gorgeous galleries and arguably the best automated print-store marketing in the space. The business side — booking, contracts, CRM — is newer and thinner, so most Pic-Time studios run a second tool for client management.

Pricing, honestly
From ~$17–42+/mo by storage tier (as of July 2026 — check current pricing). Store commission applies on lower tiers.
Showpiece: Free (5 GB) · Pro $14/mo · Studio $32/mo — founding prices, locked for life. 0% platform fees on paid plans.
The verdict
If your business is mostly print sales, Pic-Time's store is genuinely great. If you need the whole client workflow — booking through delivery — Showpiece covers both halves in one plan.
Switching takes an afternoon
Galleries import folder-by-folder, clients import from a CSV, and your data exports back out anytime. No lock-in, in either direction.
