Choose Lenzl if
- Storage decides it: Pixpa's Basic plan is 3 GB and its Professional plan is 25 GB, while Lenzl Hobby is 20 GB at £6/month. Pixpa's cheapest plan is less money — $5.40/month billed annually — but roughly a seventh of the space.
- You want client delivery built around a shoot — code or QR access, favourites, downloads — rather than a website with a store attached.
- You want Lenzl to buy and renew your domain for you on Pro, instead of a free first year and a renewal you handle.
Choose Pixpa if
- Price is the deciding factor and your library is small: Pixpa's Basic plan is $5.40/month billed annually, cheaper than Lenzl Hobby, and includes a free domain for the first year.
- You want a broader site: Pixpa's plans include a blog, an online store and a client-gallery product in one place, and the higher tiers carry a lot of features for the money.
- You sell things that are not photographs — prints, merchandise, digital products — through a general store with no commission.
