Which one fits
Pick the gallery that fits how you work.
When Pic-Time is the better choice
- Print and album sales are a real part of your income. Pic-Time's store works with 30+ labs worldwide and has an album builder; Capturely has no store.
- You want video on a free plan, or a video allowance beside your photo storage: Pic-Time stores video on every plan, from 1 GB on Free to 60 GB on Advanced, where Capturely video comes with Pro and Studio and counts toward your plan's storage.
- You want a longer trial: Pic-Time gives 30 days with every Advanced feature and no card, where Capturely gives 14 days of Pro, also with no card.
- You want someone to move your galleries for you: Pic-Time offers a migration service on its paid plans, and Capturely has no importer.
- You want a mobile app for managing galleries on the go.
When Capturely is the better choice
- You want client selections without a top plan: favorites up to a pick limit, notes and a submitted selection come with every Capturely plan, Free included.
- You want your own domain on a smaller plan: it comes with Capturely Pro at €10 a month, where Pic-Time lists it on Professional ($25 a month) and Advanced.
- You want your watermark on a free plan: Capturely watermarks work on every plan, where Pic-Time adds logo and watermark from Beginner.
- You want galleries that close on a date and then delete themselves, with a reminder to your client first, so finished jobs stop costing you storage.
- Your clients download on their phones: Download saves a photo straight to the photo library, and Download all saves the gallery in batches.
Switching
Switching from Pic-Time
There is no importer from Pic-Time, so nothing moves on its own. This is how photographers usually switch:
- 01
Start on Pro
Create an account with no card, then add your studio name, logo and accent color once in the Brand kit.
- 02
Deliver your next shoot with Capturely
Upload the new photos and send your client the link. They need no account and no app.
- 03
Let your Pic-Time galleries run out
Leave the galleries you already sent where they are until they expire, then cancel there. To bring one over sooner, upload its photos from your own files.
- 04

Can Capturely move my Pic-Time galleries for me?
No. Capturely has no importer. Upload the photos from your own files into a new gallery, or deliver new shoots with Capturely and let your Pic-Time galleries expire where they are. If you have a lot to move, write to hello@capturely.me and we will help you plan it.
Pic-Time's trial needs no card. Does Capturely's?
No. Every new Capturely account starts with 14 days of Pro, no card needed, then moves to the Free plan unless you add a card to stay on Pro. Studio asks for a card from the start, and if you cancel before day 14 you pay nothing. Pic-Time's trial lasts 30 days and needs no card.
Are client selections on Capturely's free plan?
Yes. Favorites with a pick limit, notes on photos and a submitted selection work on every plan, Free included, and you can export the picks for Lightroom or Capture One. Pic-Time lists client selections on its Professional and Advanced plans.
Does Capturely sell prints or albums?
No. There is no store and no album builder. If selling prints and albums matters to your business, Pic-Time is built for it.
