Showpiece vs Pic-Time
Polished client galleries and a strong print store; no booking, contracts or invoices.
Pic-Time makes gorgeous galleries and arguably the best automated print-store marketing in the space. It doesn't do booking, contracts or invoicing itself; it connects to CRMs like HoneyBook or Studio Ninja, so Pic-Time studios pay for a second tool for client management.

Pricing, honestly
$7 / $21 / $42 per month billed yearly ($8 / $25 / $50 monthly) for 20 GB / 100 GB / unlimited, plus a free plan. Store commission applies on Free and Beginner (pic-time.com, checked Oct 6 2026).
Showpiece: Free (5 GB) · Pro $14/mo · Studio $32/mo — founding prices, locked for life. 0% platform fees on every plan — clients pay you directly.
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.
