A Cheaper Pixieset Alternative
If Pixieset's paid tiers feel steep, lemon.gallery's free plan covers galleries and the CRM, with paid plans priced flat regardless of client count.
Gallery platforms that price by client count or storage tier can get expensive fast for a studio that's just starting to scale. lemon.gallery's Pro plan is a flat £24 a month with 100GB included, plus £5 per additional 100GB block if you need more, regardless of how many clients or galleries you run.
The free plan removes the decision entirely for studios not ready to pay anything yet: 8GB of storage and the complete CRM, indefinitely, with a straightforward upgrade path once storage or the sales fee starts to matter.
Who Cheaper Than Pixieset suits — and when you outgrow it
The photographers comparing on price usually aren't only paying Pixieset — they're paying for galleries and for contracts, bookings or a CRM, whether that's a second tool or Pixieset's own Studio Manager or Suite, so compare the whole cost, not the gallery plan alone.
What moving to lemon.gallery changes
lemon.gallery collapses that into a single Solo plan at £12/month, covering galleries and the whole studio-management side, with a free tier underneath it — so for most working studios the total monthly spend drops rather than just shifting.
Add up what you currently pay across a gallery tool and a CRM, then compare it to one lemon.gallery plan; move new work over first and cancel the rest as jobs close.
Frequently asked questions
Is it genuinely cheaper overall?
For studios paying separately for galleries and a CRM, usually yes — one plan replaces two.
Are there hidden fees?
Sales on the free plan carry a 2.5% platform fee; Solo removes it, and payouts always go to your own Stripe account.
Does the price change as I add more clients?
No, pricing is based on storage rather than client or gallery count, so it doesn't creep up as your studio grows.
What's the cheapest way to start?
The free plan — 8GB of gallery storage and the full CRM, no time limit — before ever needing to compare paid tiers.
