FAQ
Sign&Shoot. Its entire flow is built around getting booked and paid: clients pick a time, e-sign a contract with a full legal audit trail, and pay a deposit from one link. Pixieset's Studio Manager includes booking and basic contracts, but reviewers consistently describe it as lighter-weight — Pixieset's core strength is galleries and photo delivery, not the booking-to-paid workflow.
Yes, and many photographers should. Use Sign&Shoot as the front door — booking, contracts, deposits, invoices, and client management — and keep Pixieset for what it does best: beautiful client galleries and print sales. They don't conflict; your booking link and your gallery links are separate parts of the client journey.
Both have real free tiers. Sign&Shoot's free plan includes the full money flow — e-sign contracts, Stripe deposits, invoicing, and CRM — limited to 2 bookings per month with a 3% platform fee. Pixieset's free plan centers on galleries (3GB storage) with limited quotes and contracts, and takes a 15% commission on store sales. Which is better depends on whether you need booking-and-payments or photo delivery first.
It depends on what you need. Sign&Shoot's free plan covers the full booking-and-payments flow at $0/mo, while Pixieset's paid plans start at $10/mo ($8 annual) and center on galleries. On paid tiers, Sign&Shoot Pro is $20/mo (unlimited bookings, 0% platform fee) vs Pixieset Ultimate at $50/mo ($40 annual), which includes their whole gallery/website suite. If you only need booking, contracts, and payments, Sign&Shoot's free plan costs nothing; if you need galleries too, compare Sign&Shoot Studio ($39/mo, 250GB) against Pixieset's bundles — note Sign&Shoot gallery links expire after 90 days by default (extendable per gallery), while Pixieset galleries are built for long-term hosting and print sales.
