Pixieset is excellent if you run a photography studio. But if you deliver brand guides, video cuts, design packages, or legal documents to clients, you need a tool built for general creative delivery — not a gallery proofing platform with a print store bolted on.

Quick verdict
Consider BulkShare when you need recurring client delivery on your own domain, link activity, and optional passwords and expiry controls. Pro costs $29/month. Compare the plans below to decide whether Pixieset is a better fit for your workflow.
Pixieset is built around image galleries, favorites and print orders. Bulkshare delivers anything — final cuts, brand kits, PDFs, ZIPs — on one branded link, with no file size limit on Pro.
Agencies deliver brand kits. Video editors ship final cuts. Designers hand off source files. Lawyers send contracts. Pixieset is built around photo galleries and print sales — bulkshare is built around the universal client-handoff workflow that every professional needs.
Every delivery link lives on your own subdomain — files.youragency.com, not a generic gallery page. Clients see your brand from the moment they click. Custom domain is included on Pro at $29/mo.
Per-link download tracking shows exactly which client opened your delivery, when they downloaded, and which city they viewed from. Stop chasing 'did you get the files?' replies.
Lock sensitive deliverables with a password and auto-expire the link when the project closes. Both controls ship on every shared link, not hidden behind a higher-tier plan.
Four example workflows where branded links and delivery activity can help your team.
Brand handoff
A 4-month rebrand engagement shouldn't end with a wetransfer.com link in the client's inbox. Logos, guidelines, fonts, social templates — delivered from files.youragency.com with your color scheme and one-click download.
Recurring delivery
Organize recurring deliverables in your workspace, reuse uploaded assets, and create client-facing links for each handoff.
Sensitive material
Add a password and expiry window to a Pro delivery. Check your client's security requirements before sharing regulated or sensitive documents.
Multi-stakeholder
Send one delivery link and optionally collect recipient email addresses. Link views and download requests help guide follow-ups, but don't prove a person reviewed the deck.

BulkShare's storage and link controls, with their limits explained.
Primary file storage uses Cloudflare R2 with provider-managed encryption at rest. This is not end-to-end encryption.
Pro lets you add an optional password to a delivery link. Share that password separately from the link; recipients can still retain downloaded copies.
A custom domain such as files.youragency.com keeps the handoff recognizable to your clients. It does not guarantee email delivery or bypass spam filters.
Review recorded views and download requests, with recipient details where available. Activity is not proof of identity, completed downloads, or regulatory compliance.
Pick BulkShare when
You deliver files to clients that aren't photos — video cuts, brand guides, design packages, contracts, source files
You want every handoff link on your own domain (files.youragency.com), not a generic gallery URL
You need per-link download tracking with who-viewed and geo data, not just gallery-level analytics
You're an agency, freelancer, or small business that doesn't need a print store, proofing workflow, or studio manager
You want a flat $29/mo for file delivery without paying for gallery, website, and store features you won't use
Pick Pixieset when
You're a photographer who needs client proofing, favorites selection, and print ordering built in
You sell prints, albums, or photo products and need an integrated storefront with fulfillment
You need a photography portfolio website builder alongside your gallery delivery
You want a mobile app for clients to browse and share their gallery on the go
Yes, but for a different audience. Pixieset is built around the photography workflow: upload a shoot, create a gallery, let clients proof and order prints. BulkShare is built around the general client-delivery workflow: upload any files, create a branded download page on your domain, track opens and downloads. If you're not a photographer, BulkShare fits your handoff workflow better.
