Pixieset Alternative for Galleries & Sales

A Pixieset alternative that covers galleries and print sales, plus the CRM, bookings and contracts on one login, with a free plan.

Pixieset built a strong reputation on client galleries, watermarked proofing and print sales, and plenty of studios run on it happily. The gap most photographers eventually hit is everything around the gallery: bookings, contracts, leads and invoicing usually need a second subscription.

Where the two differ

Why studios switch

The usual reason isn't gallery quality. It's wanting contracts, invoicing and lead tracking under the same account instead of paying for Pixieset Studio on top, or running a separate CRM and keeping two client records in sync by hand.

Who Pixieset suits — and when you outgrow it

Pixieset is a comfortable home for a studio whose work really is just galleries and print sales — the interface is clean and clients rarely need help using it. The friction shows up the first time you send a contract, chase a deposit or try to remember which enquiry turned into which booking, because none of that lives in Pixieset without adding Pixieset Studio as a second paid product.

What moving to lemon.gallery changes

On lemon.gallery the gallery keeps its watermarking, PIN gate and per-image print-and-digital sales, but the enquiry that started the job, the contract the client signed and the invoice you sent all sit against the same contact. One client record, one login, one bill — instead of a gallery tool on one tab and a CRM on another with the details slowly drifting out of sync.

There is no forced migration deadline: keep already-delivered Pixieset galleries live until they expire naturally and re-upload only the collections that are still active, so nothing about your current client experience breaks while you move.
