Questions, answered

LensQuay vs Pixieset — the quick answers.

Is LensQuay a good Pixieset alternative?

Yes. LensQuay does everything Pixieset does for client galleries and selling photos, then adds a jobs board, model & studio discovery, bookings and a photographer community — all priced in GBP with 0% commission on every plan. Pixieset is a single-user galleries-and-store tool; LensQuay is an all-in-one platform.

How does LensQuay pricing compare to Pixieset?

LensQuay starts at £6/month for 250GB and goes to 1TB on Pro+ for £15/month, priced in GBP. Pixieset is USD-only: Basic is $10/month for 10GB and 1TB (Pro) is $30/month — so UK photographers also pay card currency-conversion fees. LensQuay gives far more storage per pound.

Does LensQuay charge commission on photo sales?

No — LensQuay takes 0% commission on gallery sales on every plan, including the free plan. Pixieset charges 15% commission on its free plan (0% on paid plans). With LensQuay you keep 100% of your sales; clients cover the small card fee.

Can I switch from Pixieset to LensQuay?

Yes, and it's free to start. Create a LensQuay account, build your portfolio, and deliver your next shoot as a client gallery. You keep your own shareable portfolio link and your galleries in one place.

What does Pixieset have that LensQuay doesn't?

Being honest: Pixieset has print-lab fulfilment (selling physical prints via partner labs) and it's an established brand. LensQuay's print fulfilment is on the roadmap. What LensQuay adds today is the marketplace and community side — finding paid work, models and studios — which Pixieset doesn't offer.
