Pixbox vs Pixieset
2026 Comparison
Pixieset charges $10–40/mo and skims 15% from every sale on the free plan — and bills the website, custom domain, and white-label as separate add-ons. Pixbox is free to start, then $10/mo on Business Pro — AI guest-selfie delivery, custom watermark, contracts, and 0% commission baked in. Max ($20/mo) adds white-label, your own domain, storefront, and unlimited team. Storage is a separate box you size from 5 GB free to Unlimited. Clients keep their album forever on their own account, not yours to maintain.
