Pic-Time takes 15% of every sale. That's $1,440/year you're giving away.
Pic-Time has great galleries with built-in selling. But every time a client buys, Pic-Time takes a cut. Sell $800/month? That's $120 going to them—not you.
PixelPort has the same selling features. The difference? You keep 100% of every sale. Zero commission. Ever.

The hidden cost of "affordable" platforms
Pic-Time's subscription looks cheaper. But when you add up the commission on every sale, you're paying 3x more.

Commission with PixelPort. Forever.
I did the math after a year on Pic-Time. I'd paid them $1,800 in commissions on top of my subscription. Switched to PixelPort, kept all my sales features, and now that money stays in my pocket. Same galleries, same clients, $150/month more profit.
