Which one suits you.
Pic-Time may suit you better if
- You sell prints and albums from the gallery.
- You shoot events and want guests to find their photos with a selfie (on Advanced).
- You want a blog and a portfolio from the same company.
DropYourFiles may suit you better if
- Films are a big part of your jobs and you want the video hours spelled out on every plan.
- You want your client to open the link and start, with no account or password.
- You want your client’s notes at a timecode on a film, and pinned to a spot on a photo.
- You want your client’s approval to take the watermark off and open the full-size downloads, on the same link.
