Pixbox vs Pixieset
2026 Comparison
Pixieset charges $10–40 every month — including January, February, and any other month you didn't shoot a single wedding. Their free plan skims 15% from every print or download you sell. Pixbox flips that: pay $59 when you activate an event, $0 when you don't, and 0% commission at every tier. Clients keep their album forever on their own account — not yours to maintain.
