The Momentzy alternative to Pic-Time
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.
Why people look for a Pic-Time alternative
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.

What makes Momentzy better
Capture the guest's-eye view of the day
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.
Keep 100% of what you charge
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.
Event-day features beyond delivery
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.
Privacy designed for EU work
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.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Momentzy a Pic-Time alternative?
- It depends on the job. Pic-Time delivers a photographer's finished galleries and drives print sales with automations. Momentzy collects guest photos during the event and shares a branded gallery, with 0% commission and features like RSVP and a live slideshow. Many photographers use both for their different strengths.
- Does Momentzy have a print store and sales automations like Pic-Time?
- No. Momentzy is not a print-sales storefront and does not run sales automations; it focuses on collecting event photos from guests and delivering a shared branded gallery. If post-shoot print sales are central to your business, Pic-Time is more specialized there.
- Does Momentzy take a commission on my sales?
- No - Momentzy event plans have 0% commission, so what you charge the client is what you keep.
