Pixbox vs Zenfolio
2026 Comparison
Photographers leave Zenfolio for the same reasons: bill stacks, storage anxiety, Drive-looking handoffs, and delivery support that never ends. Pixbox is a client box for the shoot — tools only when you need them. Zenfolio bundles website + gallery in classic tiers. Pixbox separates the jobs: Hobby 5 GB · 1 box · Solo $19 · 1 TB · Studio $49 unlimited* (tools $5 each) for delivery; tools $5/mo each when you turn them on so you don’t rent a site when you only need to deliver a wedding.

FAQ

If you only need galleries, often yes — Hobby free or Solo $19 vs Zenfolio’s paid floor. Add tools only when required at $5/mo.
Website builder?
Yes via the Website tool ($5/mo) on your domain — separate from the client box bill.
Can clients keep galleries forever?
Delivery is designed so clients keep access under the box product model — not a surprise “gallery expires when you cancel mid-job” pitch. Keep the box plan that holds the storage.
