Keep elegant photo galleries, and manage everything else in one place: enquiries, quotes, contracts, invoices and payments. In euros, with invoicing that follows European rules.
2-month free trial • No credit card • No commitment
Pixieset is one of the most popular gallery platforms in the world, and for good reason: the galleries are beautiful and fast, and the print store works well. Over the years, it has grown to include a website builder, a store and a management module, Studio Manager.
But Pixieset is still a North American company. As a photographer in Europe, you feel it every day: a subscription in dollars, a tool built first for the North American market, and invoicing that isn't designed around European rules.
Let's be honest: if you're using it today, there's a good reason.
The full suite is listed at $28 to $55 per month paid yearly, excluding tax. What you actually pay depends on the exchange rate, and tax comes on top.
Currency, tax settings, invoice formats and support hours are designed first for North American photographers, not for VAT, euros and European invoicing rules.
Mandatory invoice details, VAT, copyright transfers, electronic invoicing: in Europe, the rules are strict. Fotostudio applies them for you.
