Veyra vs Pixieset: a Pixieset alternative for UK photographers, built for the whole business.
Veyra is a Pixieset alternative built in Birmingham for UK photographers. Client galleries, enquiries and CRM, booking, invoices, signed documents and a portfolio website share one client record, priced in pounds from £6 a month (excluding VAT). Pixieset is excellent at galleries and print sales; Veyra is built for the business around them.
The short version
Pixieset is one of the best client gallery products there is, and its print store is a real source of income for many studios. It sells Client Gallery, Website and Studio Manager (its CRM) as separate products, or together as the Pixieset Suite.
Veyra was built the other way round. The enquiry, the booking, the signed document, the invoice, the gallery and the follow-up are one record from the start, so a gallery is never a separate system that has to be told who the client is. The trade-off is that Veyra has no print store.
On price, Pixieset’s cheapest bundle of galleries plus its CRM, Suite Starter, was listed at $35 a month, or $28 a month billed yearly, with 100 GB. Veyra’s Grow plan is £6 a month, or £60 a year, with 50 GB, unlimited galleries, the CRM, enquiry forms, card payments and a portfolio website. If you need more than 50 GB, Pro is £12 with 200 GB and Studio is £29 with 1 TB.

Where Pixieset is stronger
- Galleries and selling prints. The Pixieset Store and lab fulfilment are mature, and Veyra does not sell prints at all.
- Storage on the top plans: Suite Pro lists 2,000 GB and Suite Ultimate unlimited photo storage.
- Mobile gallery apps for your clients, and a long track record with photographers worldwide.
Where Veyra is stronger
- One client record across the whole job, rather than a gallery product and a CRM product joined together.
- Price at the low end: £6 a month for galleries, CRM, enquiry forms, card payments and a portfolio website.
- Pounds and VAT. Prices are in sterling, and your own invoices carry your VAT number once you are registered, with a turnover readout against the £90,000 threshold.
- Photo and film delivery in the same gallery, and a creator network with profiles, follows and moodboards.
Stay with Pixieset if
prints and albums pay a big part of your bills, you want unlimited free galleries, or you already run Studio Manager and it suits the way you work. Those are good reasons, and Veyra does not sell prints.
Choose Veyra if
you want the enquiry, the booking, the signed document, the invoice and the gallery on one client record, you would rather pay in pounds, or your invoices need to carry VAT properly. See the photography CRM, client galleries, booking, marketing and portfolio website.
Moving from Pixieset to Veyra
Contacts and your payment history come in as CSV files, and project and invoice registers can be added if you have them. Veyra checks everything first and shows you a report: duplicates, payments it cannot match to an invoice, dates that look wrong. Nothing is written until you approve it, nothing is emailed to a client, and your invoice numbering carries on from where it was. Exports from other tools may need their column headings renamed to match; the switching guide lists them. Galleries are uploaded again, and the gallery links you send from Veyra are new.
What Veyra does not do yet
- No print store or lab fulfilment. If print sales pay a large part of your bills, keep a print-led gallery for that.
- There is no one-click importer for another product. The import is a checked CSV upload, described in the switching guide.
- The iPhone app is in App Store review. Veyra runs in any browser today, including on Android phones.
Questions about Veyra and Pixieset
Is Veyra a good Pixieset alternative for UK photographers?
If you want galleries and the business behind them in one place, priced in pounds, yes. Veyra keeps enquiries, booking, invoices with VAT, signed documents, galleries and a portfolio site on one client record from £6 a month excluding VAT. If print sales are central to your studio, Pixieset or another print-led gallery may suit you better.
Does Pixieset have a CRM?
Yes. Pixieset Studio Manager covers invoices, contracts and booking, has a free plan, and is included in the Pixieset Suite. The difference with Veyra is that the CRM and the gallery are one product sharing one client record.
Can I move my clients from Pixieset to Veyra?
Yes, for your business records. Export your contacts and payment history as CSV, then check and import them in Veyra. Nothing is written until you approve it. Galleries are uploaded again, and the client links you send from Veyra are new.
Is Veyra cheaper than Pixieset?
Veyra’s Grow plan is £6 a month (excluding VAT) with 50 GB, unlimited galleries and the CRM included. Pixieset’s cheapest bundle of galleries plus its CRM, Suite Starter, was listed at $35 a month or $28 a month billed yearly with 100 GB on 31 October 2026. Which works out cheaper depends on how much storage you need and whether you sell prints.
Do my clients need a Veyra account?
No. Clients open their gallery from a link to view, favourite, comment and download whatever you allow.
