Comparison
Xposure vs Pic-Time
Pic-Time is known for premium, design-led client galleries and a strong print sales pipeline. Xposure is the leaner alternative: same delivery polish, EXIF-aware photo pages, Next.js page speed, and lower-cost pricing tiers.
Quick verdict
Pic-Time is the right call if your business runs on print sales, lab fulfillment, and marketing automations. Xposure wins on price, page speed, and EXIF-aware photo presentation.

Pick Pic-Time when
You need what they do best
- Your revenue comes mostly from print sales and you want a lab fulfillment partner integrated.
- You want pre-built marketing automations (gallery slideshow emails, abandoned-cart) out of the box.
- You're happy paying premium pricing for the polish and brand recognition.
- You want multiple gallery design templates to A/B with different client types.
Pick Xposure when
You want the cleanest delivery
- You want EXIF metadata rendered on every photo, and Pic-Time doesn't do this.
- You care about faster page loads on image-heavy galleries.
- You want a custom domain at €15/mo (Pro) instead of $21/mo (Pic-Time Professional).
- You prefer flat, predictable pricing, with no surprise add-on fees for core features.
- You'd rather have one clean opinionated gallery design than 20 templates to manage.
