Pixalys vs picdrop

Pixalys vs picdrop

picdrop focuses on selecting, approving and delivering photo files. Pixalys extends that delivery with the shop, the website and client follow-up.

  • The client browses a gallery and marks favorites.
  • The shop and invoices stay on the platform.
  • The public website is included.
