Why switch from Pixieset?
Pixieset meters storage and sells its website as a separate subscription. FrameVault gives you much more storage per dollar, includes a studio website, and adds a CRM and AI culling — in one plan.
Why switch from ShootProof or Pic-Time?
Both are strong at galleries and print sales, but neither bundles the storage-first backup, included studio website, and AI-assisted culling that FrameVault does.
