The short answer
Choose GalleryLink if you want fast, no-upload delivery from your existing Google Drive at one flat price, with no storage limits. Choose Pic-Time if a built-in print store, sales automations, and AI face/keyword search are central to how you sell — it's a broader (and pricier, storage-scaled) suite.

Where GalleryLink stands out
- • No re-uploading. Deliver from the Drive folder you already keep — no second upload of every shoot.
- • No storage tiers. Your Google Drive is the storage, so there's no cap and no storage-based price jumps.
- • Always in sync. Changes in your Drive folder appear in the gallery automatically.
- • One flat, low price. $50/year for unlimited galleries vs storage-scaled monthly plans.
- • Simpler. If you just want to deliver galleries beautifully, there's far less to configure.
Where Pic-Time may suit you
- • Print store + sales automations. Pic-Time is built to sell prints and products with ready-made campaigns — GalleryLink doesn't sell prints.
- • AI gallery search (keyword and face recognition) for large galleries.
- • Broad ecosystem — video scenes, blogs, art galleries, and a mature print-lab network.
FAQ
Is GalleryLink a good Pic-Time alternative?
Yes, for delivery. GalleryLink serves galleries straight from your Google Drive with no re-uploading and no storage fees, at a flat $50/year. If your business depends on Pic-Time's print store and sales automations, those are things GalleryLink intentionally doesn't do.
What's the main difference between GalleryLink and Pic-Time?
Pic-Time is upload-based and storage-tiered: you upload photos and Pic-Time hosts them. GalleryLink is Drive-based: your photos stay in your own Google Drive and the gallery reads them live, so there's nothing to re-upload and no storage cap.
Can I sell prints with GalleryLink?
No. GalleryLink focuses on fast, beautiful delivery and full-resolution downloads. If selling prints and products is core to your workflow, Pic-Time (or Pixieset) is the better choice.
How does pricing compare?
GalleryLink is free for one gallery, then $5/month or $50/year for unlimited galleries — flat, regardless of volume. Pic-Time has a free plan and paid plans roughly $7–$42/month (billed annually) that scale with storage; verify current pricing on pic-time.com.
