Pic-Time is a polished client-gallery platform for professional photographers, known for beautifully designed galleries, an integrated print and product store, and marketing automations that help photographers drive print sales after a shoot. It is a strong choice for delivering and monetizing your own edited work. Momentzy is aimed at the opposite side of the same event: collecting the photos that guests take on their phones. Guests scan a QR code and upload during the event, everything gathers into one branded gallery, and the organizer or photographer shares it back - with 0% commission on event plans, opt-in face grouping, RSVP, a live slideshow, and GDPR-compliant EU hosting. If you want the guest's-eye view of the day captured alongside the professional set, it is worth comparing the two.
Pic-Time is designed to present and sell a photographer's finished images, with sales automations built around print revenue. Photographers and planners who also want the candid photos guests capture during the event look for a tool that collects those natively, rather than only delivering the professional set.
Store sales can carry a platform commission on the lower tiers, so part of print and download revenue goes to the platform until you upgrade. Professionals who want to keep all of what they charge for an event prefer a no-commission model.
There is no built-in QR upload flow for arbitrary guests, no RSVP, and no live event slideshow - Pic-Time assumes the client receives a finished gallery. Event-driven organizers want those guest features inside the same product.
Studios and agencies handling EU clients increasingly want explicit GDPR controls - private-by-default galleries, retention windows, opt-in face detection, a removal path, and EU hosting - instead of inferring them from a consumer store experience.

Pic-Time is built for your edited gallery and the sales that follow it. Momentzy covers what happens during the event: the candid photos guests take on their own phones. A QR code lets every guest upload into one branded gallery, so the client gets both the professional set and the moments only guests were close enough to catch.
Momentzy event plans carry no commission on your sales - you keep what you bill the client. Where a store takes a percentage of print and download revenue on lower tiers, a 0% model keeps the event economics simple and entirely yours.
Guest QR upload, RSVP, a live slideshow at the venue, opt-in face grouping so each guest finds their own photos, and a guestbook are all part of Momentzy. Pic-Time concentrates on delivering and selling finished galleries, so these capabilities are outside its focus.
Galleries are private by default, uploads can be moderated, retention is configurable, face detection is opt-in and scoped to one event, and hosting is in the EU - a control set that is easier to stand behind when you handle EU clients.
Keep Pic-Time for delivering your edited galleries and running print sales if that workflow suits you.
Choose one upcoming event as a pilot for guest collection rather than switching everything at once.
Create the event in Momentzy and generate its QR code and private, branded gallery link.
Add the QR to signage and table cards so guests upload from their phones during the event.
Choose whether to enable opt-in face grouping and moderation for that event.
Share the branded guest gallery afterwards and combine it with your professional set as you prefer.
