Pixieset makes beautiful photo galleries. But if your clients ever need video delivery — and they will — you're stuck adding a second tool. FrameCourier gives you stunning photo galleries and professional video review with timestamped comments, revision rounds, and SRT subtitles. No second subscription needed.
Pixieset is a great photo gallery tool. But it was built for photos only — and modern studios deliver more than that.
Pixieset is built for photo galleries rather than structured video review. If a client needs to review a video, FrameCourier gives you full video review built right into the same platform.
Pixieset doesn't let multiple people on the client side log in independently. FrameCourier supports multi-user clients — art directors, producers, and project managers each get their own account.
Pixieset focuses on galleries rather than copyright and licensing tooling. FrameCourier automatically writes copyright into every JPEG and lets you generate professional licences in seconds.
Studios using Pixieset for photos and Frame.io for video end up paying for two tools. FrameCourier replaces both.
Pixieset Pro ($24/mo, 1TB photos) + Frame.io Team ($125/mo, 5 seats) or even Frame.io Pro ($15/seat). Then add HD video storage on Pixieset.
Pixieset excels at photo galleries. FrameCourier matches every photo feature and adds professional video review — plus extra delivery tools.
