Pricing breakdown
How much does Pixieset cost?
Pixieset is the most widely used client gallery platform, and also the one whose total cost is hardest to read off a single page, because galleries, the website builder and the studio manager are sold as separate products that can also be bundled.

What the pricing page does not make obvious
The free plan carries a 15% sales commission
Every paid Pixieset plan is 0% commission. The free plan is not: Pixieset takes 15% of store sales on it. If you are using the free tier and selling prints or digitals, that fee is the real price of the plan, and on any meaningful sales volume it costs more than the cheapest paid tier would.
Client Gallery is one product, not the whole platform
The tiers below are Client Gallery. Pixieset Website and Pixieset Studio Manager are separate subscriptions with their own prices. A photographer who wants galleries, a portfolio site and booking is buying three things, or the Suite bundle, and should price that total rather than the gallery tier alone.
Headline prices are the annual rate
Basic reads as $8/mo but that is billed annually; paying monthly it is $10. The same gap runs up the ladder: Plus is $16 annually against $20 monthly, Pro $24 against $30, Ultimate $40 against $50.
Storage jumps are large and so are the price jumps
The ladder goes 3 GB free, 10 GB, 100 GB, 1000 GB, then unlimited. There is no tier between 10 GB and 100 GB, so a photographer who outgrows Basic moves straight to Plus and doubles their bill. Where you land depends on how long you keep delivered galleries online.
Common questions
Is Pixieset free?
Pixieset has a free plan with 3 GB of storage. It is genuinely usable for a small number of galleries, but it carries a 15% commission on store sales, which paid plans do not.
How much does Pixieset cost per month?
Client Gallery billed annually: Basic $8/mo, Plus $16/mo, Pro $24/mo, Ultimate $40/mo. Billed monthly those are $10, $20, $30 and $50. Checked 14 August 2026.
Does Pixieset take a commission?
Not on paid plans, which are 0%. The free plan is charged 15% on store sales.
What is the difference between Pixieset Client Gallery and the Suite?
Client Gallery is the delivery product on its own. The Suite bundles Pixieset products together, including the website builder and studio manager, for a single price. Which is cheaper depends on how many of those products you would otherwise buy separately.
For context
Xposure starts at €8/mo for 20 GB, and bundles the portfolio, client galleries and the booking manager into one plan. Platform fee: 0% on Pro and Studio; 10% on Starter. We price in euros, which is worth knowing if you earn in dollars.
