Pic-Time alternative for videographers
Pic-Time is the gold standard for photo galleries and print sales. But if your primary deliverable is a 4K wedding film with original-quality downloads, branded streaming, and long-term client access — OurStoria is the alternative built for videographers. One link for video and photos, unlimited bandwidth, no recompression.
20 GB included · No credit card required · Cancel anytime
Pic-Time is designed around photo proofing and print sales. When your core deliverable is a cinematic wedding film, the priorities shift — and so should the platform.
Every OurStoria gallery leads with your cinematic highlight, followed by ceremony edits, speeches, and photos below. No forcing a 4K film into a photo-browsing UI. Original H.264 MP4 streams in 4K through CDN with byte-range delivery — instant playback, no time limits.
Pic-Time's photo plans include 30–60 GB of video, and its separate video plan leaves only 10 GB for photos. OurStoria includes 300 GB for videos and photos in any mix, unlimited bandwidth, and no per-viewer fees at $34.99/mo — built for the storage demands of 4K video. Start with a free 7-day Pro Trial.
Pic-Time ties gallery access to your subscription. OurStoria's Safe Archive keeps individual projects accessible to couples at $12/year per project — perfect for 5th and 10th anniversary rewatching, and for offering "lifetime access" as a premium package feature.

Pic-Time remains the industry standard for photo galleries and print sales. The moment your hero product shifts to video, the priorities — and the economics — change.
OurStoria plans are sized for wedding video reality: Pro at 300 GB for 15–25 weddings, Studio at 1 TB for high-volume studios — after a free 7-day Pro Trial. One pool for video and photos, no add-on math. Pic-Time's 30 GB Professional tier barely fits one 4K wedding, and its video plan caps photos at 10 GB.
Background processing handles playback optimization while you keep working. The CRM autofills couple data. Anniversary automation turns on by default. You spend minutes per wedding after the first, not hours.
Safe Archive keeps individual projects accessible to your couples long after the main subscription ends — $12/year per project for 30 GB (Standard) or $19/year for 60 GB (Plus). It's how "lifetime access" becomes a premium package tier without inflating your main plan storage.
Yes. Pic-Time is excellent for photographers with its proofing, print store, and IPS workflows. But for wedding videographers whose primary deliverable is a cinematic film, OurStoria is purpose-built — 4K streaming, original-quality downloads, branded galleries, Safe Archive, and a CRM for couples.
For video delivery, yes. OurStoria Pro includes 300 GB of storage at $34.99/mo with unlimited bandwidth — after a free 7-day trial. Pic-Time's video plan is $48/mo ($31 billed annually), leaves only 10 GB for photos, and caps each video file at 30 GB.
Yes. Featured videos on Pic-Time are limited to 120 minutes and 30 GB per file, and short clips to 3 minutes. OurStoria has no time limit and accepts files up to 50 GB.
OurStoria Pro is $34.99/mo with 300 GB for videos and photos in any mix. Pic-Time's photo plans include 30–60 GB of video; its video plan is $48/mo ($31 billed annually) with only 10 GB for photos.
OurStoria includes photos in the same gallery as video, but does not have IPS proofing, client selection, or a print store. If print sales are central to your business, Pic-Time is the better tool for that. Many hybrid shooters use both.
No. OurStoria focuses on delivery and client experience rather than e-commerce. For videographers, this means a simpler, more focused tool. For photographers who sell prints, Pic-Time has the advantage.
Yes — every account starts with a 7-day Free Pro Trial. Every Pro Plan feature is unlocked: branded galleries, custom URL slugs, password protection, custom fonts, all 12 gallery layouts, embed iframe, Live Moments and social links. 20 GB of storage for videos and photos is included, no credit card required. The only differences vs. a paid plan are a small watermark on video playback, disabled client downloads, and limits of 3 projects with up to 3 videos each.
Yes. Many hybrid shooters use Pic-Time for photo proofing and print sales, and OurStoria for cinematic video delivery. The two complement each other well.
