The difference is where you start.
Pixieset hands you a blank template. You pick a layout, upload photos, write an about page, and set up a domain. That is a good evening’s work, and most photographers never get past the layout.
PropPhoto starts from what you already wrote. Your bio, your portfolio, your packages, your service areas — the profile you filled out to get found by agents. The website is that profile, on your own address, without our branding on it.
One is a project. The other is a switch.
Where you start decides where you end up
PropPhoto: your site is already written
- Your site is generated from your profile — nothing to design, nothing to write twice
- Edit your profile and the site updates itself
- Booking and contact forms land in your PropPhoto inbox, spam-filtered
- Three themes, your colors and logo, and a custom domain on Pro
- Agents in your area find you on the marketplace while the site runs
Pixieset: website and gallery builder
- Excellent client galleries and print stores, built for portrait and wedding work
- A website builder with templates you fill in page by page
- A separate subscription for the website on top of galleries
- No bookings, no invoices, no marketplace — you bring every client
Pick the one that matches your week
Choose PropPhoto if you…
- Shoot listings and want a site live this week, not this quarter
- Already have a PropPhoto profile with a bio and photos
- Want bookings, invoices and delivery under the same roof as the site
- Would rather agents found you than build your own traffic
Choose Pixieset if you…
- Sell prints and albums to families
- Shoot mostly weddings or portraits and need proofing galleries
- Enjoy building and tuning a website yourself
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PropPhoto website really free?
Yes. Every photographer plan, including the free one, includes a website at yourname.propphoto.site built from your profile. Pro adds all three themes, your accent color, your logo, custom text and your own domain. Business also removes the PropPhoto badge.
Can I use my own domain like on Pixieset?
Yes, on the Pro plan. You point a CNAME at PropPhoto and your site answers on your domain. On the free plan you get a propphoto.site address.
Does PropPhoto have client galleries?
Yes. Deliveries are organized by room type, delivered at full resolution, and shareable by link. What PropPhoto does not do is print sales — real estate agents do not order albums.
Can I keep Pixieset and still use PropPhoto?
Of course. Many photographers keep Pixieset for wedding and portrait galleries and use PropPhoto for listings, where the bookings, invoices and marketplace matter more than print stores.
Compare PropPhoto with other tools
Most photographers compare more than one — here are the others.
