- Watch out: prices are for individual photographers, with agencies quoted separately
- Watch out: extra brands on Advanced are $6 a month each

Keep Pic-Time, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Pic-Time you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 70 of the 104 other website and landing page builders we grade. It costs $84 a year.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- Printers that make and ship each order.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Pic-Time’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
