Best Client Gallery Software (2026)
The best client gallery software for photographers in 2026, ranked on storage, sales fees, print fulfilment and whether a CRM comes bundled in.
For most photographers, lemon.gallery, Pixieset and Pic-Time cover the strongest all-round mix of gallery quality, sales features and pricing in 2026 — the right pick depends mainly on whether you also want a CRM bundled in.
| Platform | Free plan | CRM included | Print fulfilment |
|---|---|---|---|
| lemon.gallery | Yes — 8GB + full CRM | Yes | Prodigi |
| Pixieset | Yes, storage-capped | Separate product | Built-in lab |
| ShootProof | Yes, storage-capped | Contracts, invoicing, booking | Multiple labs |
| Pic-Time | Limited | No | Yes |
| CloudSpot | Yes, storage-capped | Yes (CloudSpot Studio) | Yes |
| Pass | Limited | No | Yes |
Pick lemon.gallery or Pixieset if bundled studio management matters. Pick ShootProof if you already have a preferred print lab relationship. Pick Pic-Time if gallery presentation and automated sales campaigns are the priority.
Frequently asked questions
Which client gallery software is genuinely free?
lemon.gallery, Pixieset and CloudSpot all offer real, non-expiring free tiers with storage limits rather than time-limited trials.
