Pelli vs Pixieset: one subscription, not four apps to piece together

Pixieset is a polished gallery suite — its Studio Manager already handles CRM, invoices and booking. But all of it lives across four apps billed à la carte (Gallery, Website, Store, Studio Manager), in English and in dollars. Pelli brings your galleries, your store, your CRM, your quotes and invoices, your booking, your website and your marketing together in a single French platform — one foundation, one subscription. You keep 100% of your sales where Pixieset takes 15% on its free plan, you run everything from your phone without installing an app, and your invoicing is compliant with the French 2026-2027 reform — which a Canadian vendor lacks. Pixieset stacks up apps; Pelli brings your entire business together.

  • One subscription and one foundation — not four à-la-carte apps (Gallery, Website, Store, Studio Manager)
  • 0% commission on your sales — Pixieset takes 15% on its free plan
  • Fully usable on mobile, with no app to install
  • Billed in your currency, hosted in France, compliant with the French 2026-2027 reform
  • A premium gallery: 4K/8K video, AI search, face detection, Spotify ambiance
