A Pic-Time alternative for the whole business, not just the delivery.
Pic-Time makes genuinely beautiful galleries with a serious print store, marketing automations and AI search. What it is not is a business system: no CRM, contracts, invoicing or booking pages exist on its site, store commissions run 6–15% on most setups, and uploads are JPEG-only. Veyra keeps the enquiry, booking, paperwork and the gallery, RAW accepted, on one client record from £6 a month excluding VAT.
The short version
Pic-Time’s plans on 11 November 2026: Free (10 GB for three months, then 3 GB), Beginner $8 a month, Professional $25, Advanced $50, with annual discounts and unlimited galleries on every plan. Around the galleries sit a print store with 30+ labs, prebuilt marketing automations, AI gallery search with face recognition, an album designer and slideshows. For delivery and selling, it is excellent.
The business side is simply absent: no CRM, contract, invoice or booking feature exists on Pic-Time’s own site, so studios pair it with a second product. Its store takes commission, 15% on Free and Beginner, 8% on Professional, 6% on Advanced when Pic-Time collects payment, and uploads are JPEG, GIF, MP4 and MOV only. Veyra was built from the business inward, and the gallery takes the files you actually shoot, RAW included.

Where Pic-Time is stronger
- Selling: the store, 30+ global labs, automated campaigns, album designer and AI search are a polished revenue machine for print-led studios.
- Unlimited galleries on every plan, including free, and a photographer mobile app on iOS and Android today.
- Gallery experience details: slideshows, face-recognition search for clients, a six-language site.
Where Veyra is stronger
- The business exists: enquiries, pipeline, booking with deposits, contracts with signatures and invoices are built in, not a second subscription.
- Your originals: RAW and TIFF accepted and stored unchanged with checksums, where Pic-Time takes JPEG and GIF.
- No commission anywhere: Veyra has no store and takes nothing from your client payments, which run through your own Stripe, PayPal or bank transfer.
- Free storage that does not shrink: Veyra’s free plan is 3 GB from day one; Pic-Time’s drops from 10 GB to 3 GB after three months.
- Pounds and VAT: sterling prices, your VAT number on invoices once registered, and a turnover readout against the £90,000 threshold.
Stay with Pic-Time if
wall art, albums and store automations drive your income: that machine is real, and Veyra does not sell prints. Its AI search and album tools have no Veyra equivalent.
Choose Veyra if
you want the enquiry, the booking, the signed contract, the invoice and the gallery on one record, RAW and film included, for one monthly price in pounds. See client galleries, the photography CRM, booking and pricing.
What Veyra does not do yet
- No print store, lab network, album designer, slideshows or AI gallery search.
- No photographer mobile app in the stores yet: the iPhone app is in App Store review, and Veyra runs in any browser today.
- Moving in is a checked CSV upload for business records (see the switching guide); galleries are uploaded again.
Questions about Pic-Time and Veyra
Does Pic-Time have a CRM or invoicing?
No CRM, contract, invoicing or booking feature pages exist on pic-time.com as of 11 November 2026; it is a delivery and sales platform. It names a “Clients Hub” without detailing it, so check the product against your workflow.
Does Pic-Time take commission?
By its own help centre: 15% on Free and Beginner, 8% on Professional, 6% on Advanced when Pic-Time collects the payment, taken from your markup. Self-collecting removes commission on Professional and Advanced, but not Beginner.
Does Pic-Time accept RAW files?
No: its help centre lists JPEG, GIF, MP4 and MOV. Veyra accepts RAW originals alongside JPEG, PNG, TIFF and video, stored unchanged.
Is Veyra cheaper than Pic-Time?
For galleries plus the business: Veyra’s Grow is £6 a month excluding VAT with CRM, booking and invoicing included. Pic-Time’s Professional is $25 a month and would still need a separate business product. For a store-led studio the commission mathematics matter more than the subscription.
