Image Depot vs Pixieset

Both let you deliver and sell photos to clients online. Here's how the two actually differ, on the specifics that affect your bottom line -- not a marketing spin.

	Image Depot	Pixieset

Pixieset's free-to-paid commission structure is genuinely similar to Image Depot's own. The real differences are in the guarantees: a written full-library export promise on every plan, and screenshot protection baked into preview files rather than left to a CSS overlay.

Figures for Pixieset are pulled from their own public pricing page as of September 2026 and may have changed since -- confirm current numbers directly at pixieset.com/pricing/.
