03 · honest take

When Pixieset is the right pick

  • You need a full client gallery system for delivering proofs, selections, and downloads.
  • You want a complete photographer website with blog, store, and contracts in one place.
  • You already use Pixieset for client delivery and want everything in one ecosystem.
04 · honest take

When Focally is the right pick

  • You want one beautiful page to live on your Instagram bio, business card, and email signature.
  • You do not need full client delivery — your galleries live on Pic-Time, Pixieset, or ShootProof already.
  • You want to launch a polished bio in under 10 minutes, not configure a full website.

Pixieset handles client delivery. Focally handles the front door. They work well together.
