SmugMug alternatives

SmugMug's real strength is unlimited storage on every plan, including its entry tier. If that's what's keeping you there despite its commission structure, here's what's actually different.

	Image Depot	SmugMug
Commission on sales	0% on every paid plan; 3% on Free	A percentage of your markup on every sale, on every plan
Storage	A real per-plan quota, plus a $5/mo flat archive option instead of forced deletion	Unlimited on every plan -- a genuine SmugMug strength
Full-library export	Guaranteed on every plan, including Free -- in writing	Not offered as a standing guarantee

Credit where it's due -- unlimited storage at any price point is real and worth wanting. If keeping 100% of what you charge matters more, that's the real gap here.
