Yes, for photographers who deliver galleries digitally and don't rely on print sales through the platform. delivered.photos focuses on the gallery delivery experience: passwords, expirations, and custom branding, with a custom domain coming to Studio. It doesn't include an e-commerce engine or print lab integrations.
There's no one-click migration. The practical path is to keep existing Pixieset galleries live until they expire, and create new client deliveries on delivered.photos. Most galleries are time-bound anyway, so a clean cut-over usually takes a single billing cycle.
No. We don't take a cut of print revenue because we don't process print sales. You keep that relationship with your lab and your client. If print sales are central to your business, Pixieset (or ShootProof) is the better fit.
delivered.photos Starter is free with real limits (3 galleries, 1 GB). Pro is €12/mo (€9/mo billed annually) for unlimited galleries and 100 GB. Studio is €29/mo (€22/mo annual) for 500 GB, with a custom domain coming to Studio. Pixieset's tiers are structured differently (and include the store), so direct dollar-for-dollar comparison depends on whether you'd use the store.
Setup is faster, since there are fewer modules to configure. Gallery load speed depends more on photo count and your client's connection than on the platform. Both serve images via CDN, and both feel fast on a good connection.
Starter is free. Put one real shoot in a gallery before you move anything off Pixieset.
