Pixbox vs Pic-Time
2026 Comparison
Pic-Time is a solid platform with a 0% commission structure and a decent print store. The gap is that it still charges $8–30 every month regardless of how many events you run — and it has no AI face matching. Pixbox charges $59 per event with 0% commission, includes AI selfie-to-photos delivery on every paid event, and hands the album to your client permanently after delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Is Pixbox cheaper than Pic-Time?
It depends on volume. Pic-Time starts at $8/mo ($96/yr). If you shoot fewer than 2 events/year, Pixbox ($59/event) costs less. If you shoot 1–2 events/month, Pic-Time's flat rate may be more predictable. The key difference: Pixbox costs $0 in slow months, Pic-Time doesn't.
Does Pic-Time have AI face matching?
Pic-Time has limited AI features. It does not have selfie-based automatic photo delivery. Pixbox's AI face matching lets every guest take one selfie — the system auto-matches and delivers every photo of that person across the entire shoot.
What happens to Pic-Time galleries when I cancel?
Pic-Time galleries go offline when your subscription ends. With Pixbox, completed albums transfer to your client's own account — they keep access whether you continue using Pixbox or not.
