Is DeliverShot a Pic-Time alternative?

Only if your work is event-heavy. Pic-Time is built for wedding and portrait photographers who want marketing automation, slideshows, and video delivery. DeliverShot is built for events where the guests need their own photos. Different jobs. Many photographers run both: Pic-Time for portraits, DeliverShot for crowd events.

Does Pic-Time have AI face matching?

Pic-Time offers face recognition as a discovery aid inside a gallery. DeliverShot leads with a selfie-first guest flow: each guest takes a selfie and only sees their own photos, by default. At events with crowds, that’s the biggest practical difference between the two.

Can DeliverShot deliver video?

No, not today. DeliverShot is photos only. If you need to deliver video alongside stills — especially wedding highlight reels in 4K — Pic-Time is the better fit.

When is DeliverShot cheaper than Pic-Time?

For occasional shooters, our pay-as-you-go credit packs (£19 for 500 photos up to £99 for 5,000, valid 12 months) plus the £30 event-creation fee beat a rolling Pic-Time subscription — you only pay when you actually shoot. For consistent weekly shooters, our Pro plan at £59/mo is roughly comparable to Pic-Time Professional, and you’re buying a different feature set (AI face matching vs marketing automation and video).

DeliverShot vs Pic-Time

Marketing automation, or event delivery.

Pic-Time is the polished choice for wedding photographers who want anniversary emails, slideshow reveals, 4K video delivery, and a lab network. DeliverShot is built for events where the guests matter as much as the client. Every guest finds their own photos via a selfie, prints sell themselves, and you choose between a monthly subscription or pay-as-you-go credits depending on how often you shoot.

The short version

Pic-Time wins on polish and automation. DeliverShot wins on scale-per-event.

Pic-Time is one of the prettiest gallery platforms around. Slideshow reveals, anniversary emails, a marketing automation engine, video delivery up to 4K. A genuinely excellent product for wedding and portrait photographers who work with a small number of high-value clients.

DeliverShot is built for a different job: events where your client hires you but the guests are the ones looking for photos. One upload, hundreds of selfies, every guest seeing only their own photos. No gallery-scrolling, no Dropbox link, no WhatsApp group.

If you deliver 30 wedding galleries a year and upsell anniversary prints, Pic-Time’s automation will earn its keep. If you shoot events where 400 guests should each get their own 20 photos, DeliverShot is the right shape.

Choose DeliverShot if

You want AI selfie face matching so guests find themselves without scrolling.
You want pay-as-you-go credits for occasional events instead of paying a subscription through slow months.
You want direct Stripe Connect payouts and GDPR-native UK data residency.

You want marketing automation, anniversary emails, and timed follow-up sequences.
You want a built-in slideshow / reveal tool for wedding clients.

Where Pic-Time wins

Things Pic-Time genuinely does better than us.

Video delivery up to 4K
Pic-Time delivers video alongside stills — up to 4K and up to 90 minutes. We don’t handle video at all. If you shoot hybrid photo/video, this matters.
Marketing automation
Anniversary emails, timed follow-ups, seasonal campaigns — Pic-Time has a proper automation engine. We don’t.
Slideshow reveal tool
Pic-Time’s slideshow reveals are a feature wedding photographers explicitly buy them for. We have no slideshow builder.
Lab-network print quality
Pic-Time curates a network of regional print labs. We fulfil globally via Gelato. For photographers with a favoured local lab, Pic-Time’s network may win on quality or turnaround.
HoneyBook integration
US and Canadian Pic-Time users get a free year of HoneyBook CRM. We don’t have a CRM integration of equivalent depth.
Multi-currency sales
Pic-Time sells in multiple currencies. DeliverShot is GBP-only today.
