Pixeria vs Picflow
A Picflow alternative with approval rounds, print orders and a website
Picflow is made for proofing: clients rate, flag and comment on photos and video, and teams review them together. It has no print store and, in its own words, is not a website builder. Pixeria does fewer things: the client’s selection with pins, rounds of edits and their approval, galleries with print orders, and a website.
