Is Glassline better than Pixieset?

It depends on your workflow. Glassline is purpose-built for wedding and portrait photographers who need white-label client galleries hosted in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany). If GDPR compliance, clean branding, and straightforward pricing matter to you, Glassline is a strong fit. Pixieset may suit photographers who are already embedded in its ecosystem or need features Glassline does not yet offer.

Does Glassline have a free plan?

Yes. Glassline offers a free plan with no time limit and no credit card required. Paid plans start at $7 per month (Hobby) and include additional storage and features for professional delivery.

How does Glassline compare to Pixieset on pricing?

Glassline's Hobby plan starts at $7 per month — significantly less than most comparable platforms. There are no commission fees on sales and no hidden per-gallery charges. Pixieset pricing varies; check their website for current rates.

Is Glassline GDPR compliant?

Yes. All Glassline data is hosted in Frankfurt, Germany on EU infrastructure. The platform is built with GDPR and EU privacy standards at its core, making it a compliant choice for photographers working with European clients.

Why Glassline

Three reasons to switch.

Not everything Pixieset does — just the things that matter when work meets clients.

01 · Presentation

What you build is what they see.

Glassline's gallery editor shows you the exact experience your client will have — no hidden overlays, no branding bars, no layout surprises. Edit and publish with confidence.

·Full-bleed viewer, keyboard and swipe
·Live preview matches the delivered gallery exactly
·Sequence locked, client cannot reorder

02 · Privacy

European-hosted. GDPR by default.

Glassline stores all data exclusively in Germany — no cross-border transfers, no retroactive addendums. GDPR compliance is built in, not bolted on.

·All data stored in Frankfurt, Germany
·EU privacy law native — not bolted on

03 · Client experience

Your clients open a link. That's it.

We know that the moment a client receives a gallery, it reflects on you. No account required, no third-party branding, no upsell prompts — just a clean, intuitive viewer that anyone can navigate on the first try.
