Pixieset and AccioPix handle two different jobs at a wedding. Pixieset sets up a client gallery for the photographer. They use it to deliver, proof, and sell to the couple. Plans cost from free to $40 a month. AccioPix sends each guest their own photos on WhatsApp for ₹0.20 a photo. Many photographers will choose to use both.

Disclosure: We built AccioPix. All notes on Pixieset below come from Pixieset's website, checked on 30 September 2026. When Pixieset is the better pick, we tell you.

The client gallery, and the guest problem

A Pixieset client gallery gives the couple one fine link. Send it to 500 wedding guests, and each guest must look through the entire gallery to spot the four photos of them. Pixieset's pricing page says nothing about face search or selfie matching, which we confirmed on 30 September 2026. It was made for the client, not the guest list.

AccioPix does the other half. Every guest sends one selfie through WhatsApp. They get only the photos they are in, straight into the chat, at full size.

Using both

The practical split is straightforward. Upload the full edited gallery to Pixieset for the couple. They can proof images, choose favourites, and buy prints on that site. Feed the same album through AccioPix so each guest gets their own photos that same week. Nobody needs to send the couple's gallery link around.

The case for Pixieset

  • Proofing and favourites let the couple choose pictures for their album.
  • A shop for prints and downloads with zero commission on paid tiers.
  • Make a website and run your studio with one account.
  • A free plan with 3 GB of storage.

The case for AccioPix

  • Not just the client, but every guest: each gets their own photos.
  • Delivery in WhatsApp: you have no gallery link to send.
  • Your brand, free: You get your logo and a credit line such as "Photographed by" on the album and the selfie link. A Book button takes people to your WhatsApp or website. Your Instagram or website sits on the last line of every WhatsApp delivery.
  • Per-photo pricing: Each picture costs ₹0.20, with no subscription. Your first 20 credits cost nothing. They cover 100 photos. Credits do not expire.
