Pixieset pricing in 2026 runs from $0 to $40 a month billed annually for Client Gallery, its core product: Free (3 GB of photo storage), Basic ($8, 10 GB), Plus ($16, 100 GB), Pro ($24, 1,000 GB with RAW upload) and Ultimate ($40, unlimited photo storage). Monthly billing is $10, $20, $30 and $50. The Pixieset Suite bundles Client Gallery with Website, Studio Manager, Store and the mobile app at $28, $38 or $55 a month billed annually, and the Studio plans for larger photography businesses are $48, $64 and $96 a month for 2, 5 and 10 TB. Pixieset is a client gallery and business platform for photographers, and every paid plan is commission-free on store sales.
The numbers are public, which already sets Pixieset apart from most creative software, and the question for a working photographer is a different one: which line the storage runs out on, and what the bill looks like once video hours, the website and the CRM are added. This guide lists every plan with the figures from pixieset.com, verified on 2026-09-14, walks through the real yearly cost for three kinds of photographer, and shows where a storage-first platform is the better fit.

How much does Pixieset cost in 2026?
Pixieset's published Client Gallery pricing, read on pixieset.com/pricing on 2026-09-14, is the four paid plans above plus Free. Three mechanics decide the real bill:
- Storage is per plan, photos only. 3 GB, 10 GB, 100 GB, 1,000 GB, unlimited. HD video is metered in hours (30 minutes on Basic) and sold on top at $5 a month per additional hour on any plan.
- Annual billing takes 20% off. Basic is $8 billed annually against $10 monthly; Ultimate $40 against $50.
- Commission is a Free-plan cost. Pixieset states there are no commission fees for all upgraded accounts; the Free plan lists a commission fee on store sales, so the first paid tier pays for itself on the first print order for photographers who sell.
| Plan | Billed annually | Billed monthly | Photo storage | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 3 GB | Galleries, up to 3 mobile apps, store with commission fee |
| Basic | $8 a month | $10 a month | 10 GB | Custom branding and domain, full-resolution downloads, 30 min HD video, 100 campaign emails, commission-free sales |
| Plus | $16 a month | $20 a month | 100 GB | 500 campaign emails a month |
| Pro | $24 a month | $30 a month | 1,000 GB | RAW upload, bulk share collections |
| Ultimate | $40 a month | $50 a month | Unlimited | 10,000 campaign emails a month |

What do the Suite and Studio plans add?
The Suite is Pixieset's bundle: Client Gallery plus Website, Studio Manager (booking, contracts, invoices), Store and the Mobile Gallery App on one bill. Studio plans are the same bundle sized for a business with several photographers and terabytes of galleries.
| Bundle | Billed annually | Billed monthly | Photo storage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suite Starter | $28 a month | $35 a month | 100 GB | 1 hour HD video, 3 active session types |
| Suite Pro | $38 a month | $50 a month | 2,000 GB | Unlimited booking types, 5,000 campaign emails, RAW upload |
| Suite Ultimate | $55 a month | $65 a month | Unlimited | 10,000 campaign emails |
| Studio 60 | $48 a month | $60 a month | 2 TB | 2 hours video, unlimited mobile apps and galleries |
| Studio 80 | $64 a month | $80 a month | 5 TB | Same, larger library |
| Studio 120 | $96 a month | $120 a month | 10 TB | Same, largest published tier |
Suite and Studio plans as listed on pixieset.com/pricing-suite and pixieset.com/pricing-studio, verified 2026-09-14. Pixieset markets the Studio plans as up to 37% cheaper than buying the apps separately.
For a photographer who already pays for a website builder and a CRM, the Suite Starter at $28 a month replaces three subscriptions; for one who only needs delivery, the Client Gallery plans are the ones to compare.
What does Pixieset cost a photographer per year?
The storage line is what moves a photographer between plans. A wedding delivered at full resolution runs 5 to 15 GB of JPEGs; a year of weddings is several hundred gigabytes; RAW archives are terabytes. Per year, billed annually:
| Photographer |  Pixieset |
 Brault |
|---|---|---|
| Portrait, a few sessions a month, under 100 GB | $192 (Plus, 100 GB) | $144 (Pro, 2 TB) |
| Wedding, 20 to 30 a year, RAW upload wanted | $288 (Pro, 1,000 GB) | $144 (Pro, 2 TB) |
| Studio with two shooters, 5 TB of galleries | $768 (Studio 80, 5 TB) | $888 (Growth, 5 TB, 4 users + 1) |
| Everything in one bill: galleries, site, booking | $336 (Suite Starter, 100 GB) | Not a fit: no site builder or booking |
Per year, billed annually, verified 2026-09-14 on pixieset.com. Brault Pro $12 a month for 2 TB with 1 user included and up to 3 at $8 each; Growth $70 a month for 5 TB with 4 users included and $4 per extra user; verified on brault.app/pricing.
The two columns buy different things. Pixieset's price is for a client-facing business layer: galleries with a store, a website, booking and invoicing. Brault's price is for the library underneath: 2 TB from $12 a month, previews for RAW, PSD and video, AI search over every file, branded download pages and transfers up to 250 GB. A photographer who sells prints through galleries needs the first; one who mainly delivers, archives and finds files needs the second, and some run both.
Hidden costs to check before signing
- Video hours. Every plan meters HD video separately (30 minutes on Basic, 1 hour on Suite Starter, 2 hours on Studio). Each extra hour is $5 a month, so a videographer's bill grows outside the plan price.
- The commission on Free. Store sales on the free plan carry a commission fee; the first paid tier removes it. Price the first print order before deciding to stay on Free.
- Monthly billing. The headline figures are annual. Paying monthly is 20% to 25% more: Pro is $30 instead of $24, Suite Pro $50 instead of $38.
Is Pixieset worth the price?
Pixieset is worth its price for photographers who sell through their galleries and want the business tools on the same platform: the store, the booking flow, the contracts and the website are what the Suite bundle is for, and at $28 a month billed annually it undercuts most combinations of separate tools. The best cloud storage for photographers guide places gallery platforms in that role, next to storage-first tools that handle the archive.
Worth it
Wedding and portrait photographers who sell prints and downloads, book clients online and want one bill for galleries, site and CRM.
Compare first
Photographers who deliver a lot of video, or whose archive is measured in terabytes: price the video hours and the storage tier before choosing Pro or Studio.
Different fit
Photographers and small studios whose need is the library: RAW and PSD previews, search across years of work, and branded delivery of large files.
What are the alternatives if Pixieset pricing doesn't fit?
The alternatives split by what the photographer is buying: another gallery platform with a store, or a storage-first platform that delivers.

The plan covers the archive side of a photography business: previews for CR3, NEF, ARW and other RAW formats, PSD and video, AI search that finds a frame by what is in it, client-facing pages with your logo, and transfers up to 250 GB without a per-file limit on the gallery. Pixieset keeps the edge on the store, the booking flow and the website; the full comparison of storage tools is in the photographers' cloud storage guide, and the videographers' guide covers the video side that gallery plans meter by the hour.

Does Pixieset take a commission on sales?
Only on the free plan.

Yes, with limits. The Pixieset free account includes 3 GB of photo storage, up to 3 mobile gallery apps and the ability to sell in galleries, with Pixieset branding on the galleries and a commission fee on store sales. Most working photographers outgrow 3 GB with the first full-resolution delivery, which is why the paid plans start at $8 a month billed annually.
How much storage does Pixieset give you?
Photo storage is 3 GB on Free, 10 GB on Basic, 100 GB on Plus, 1,000 GB on Pro and unlimited on Ultimate, with HD video metered separately (30 minutes on Basic, more on higher plans, and $5 a month per additional hour). The Suite bundle carries 100 GB, 2,000 GB and unlimited across its three tiers, and the Studio plans carry 2 TB, 5 TB and 10 TB.
What is a cheaper alternative to Pixieset for storing and delivering photos?
For storage and delivery without the gallery store, Brault Pro is $12 a month billed annually for 2 TB with RAW, PSD and video previews, AI search across the library, branded download pages and transfers up to 50 GB (unlimited, plus 20 a month up to 100 GB); Growth is $70 a month for 5 TB and 250 GB transfers. Among gallery tools, ShootProof publishes $9.99 to $60 a month with no commission on any plan, and Pic-Time $8 to $50 a month.
