Frequently asked questions
Which free plan gives more storage?
Exact free-tier limits change over time on both platforms; check each provider's current pricing page before deciding on storage alone.
Does CloudSpot have a CRM?
Yes. CloudSpot Studio adds contracts, scheduling, questionnaires and invoices (cloudspot.io/studio-manager, checked 5 October 2026). Pixieset sells the same side as a separate Studio Manager product.
Which is simpler for a first-time gallery platform?
CloudSpot's narrower feature set tends to mean fewer settings to learn; Pixieset offers more configuration once you need it.
Do both fulfil prints automatically?
Yes, both route print orders to a connected lab without manual handling — fulfilment isn't a meaningful differentiator between them.
