Gallery and print-sales platform
Patsy vs Pic-Time: a premium gallery or the studio around it?
Pic-Time is especially strong at client delivery, print sales, and gallery marketing. Patsy is the broader choice when the immediate need is a custom website direction plus photographer-specific business, marketing, and SEO guidance.
Where Pic-Time is stronger
A real reason to choose it.
Pic-Time is a polished delivery and sales platform with mature gallery presentation, print automation, and an explicit migration service.
Where Patsy is different
Help inside the work itself.
Patsy keeps website direction, business coaching, marketing, and SEO in one photographer-specific conversation context.

Side by side
Different operating models, not just different feature lists.
A feature can exist in both products and still require very different amounts of setup, judgment, maintenance, or connected software.
| Decision area | Patsy | Pic-Time |
|---|---|---|
| Primary identity | Website and studio partner for photographers. | Client delivery and print-sales suite. |
| Public website | Custom multi-page site on paid plans. | Portfolio pages and SEO-capable blog tools, with galleries at the center. |
| Gallery sales | The Founding test-mode journey includes private delivery, client favorites, controlled downloads, products, Stripe test checkout, and Prodigi sandbox fulfillment. Production and provider costs are separate. | Mature print store, campaigns, and sales automation. |
| SEO and discovery | SEO mode can create approved service and location pages from real studio facts, and approved review requests can be sent from real client facts. Live rank tracking is not included. | Portfolio and blog tools support discovery, with galleries at the center. |
| Migration | Migration guides and human product support can help with planning. Automated gallery migration is not a launch claim. | Pic-Time explicitly offers gallery migration. |
You want fewer operating jobs.
- You want one primary website and studio context, not a gallery product beside another website.
- You want photographer-specific business, marketing, and SEO guidance beside the website work.
- You want an assistant that can prepare recommendations and drafts instead of only exposing controls.
If you may switch
Protect the business before changing the software.
No comparison page can promise a perfect transfer. Export first, verify the details that matter to current clients, and keep the old system available until the new path works.
- Use Pic-Time's export and migration options to preserve originals and client information where available.
- Record galleries, favorites, download permissions, price lists, campaigns, and order history before changing anything.
- Run both systems in parallel until recent client deliveries and print ordering have been verified.
- Keep a separate copy of every original photograph regardless of platform migration.
