FolioHD vs SlickPic

FolioHD is a web service for creating photo-based websites and portfolios. Users can import media from Dropbox, Instagram, Google Photos, Flickr and Google Drive, then build pages with Smart Themes that adapt to content while allowing choices of colors and fonts. Portfolios can include images, PDFs, video embeds from Vimeo or YouTube, custom pages and contact forms. Sites are designed for computers, tablets and phones. Privacy controls include hidden or password-protected galleries and password protection for an entire site. All subscriptions include right-click protection that displays a blank image instead of the original. FolioHD also supports custom domains, analytics and selling tools; its Fotomoto print store requires a Power or Pro subscription. Hosting is included, with a stated 99.9% uptime guarantee. The free Starter plan allows 36 uploads and has limited features. Basic costs $6 a month and includes 200 uploads and 10 galleries. The listed Power plan costs $129 a month and supports 3,000 uploads. FolioHD was founded in 2010 and is based in Orange County, California.

SlickPic provides photographers with portfolio websites, photo galleries, and tools for sharing images with clients. Its drag-and-drop builder creates mobile-ready portfolios without coding. Albums can be public, private, or unlisted, with password protection and configurable permissions. Image safeguards include disabling right-click saves, adding watermarks, and limiting displayed image size. Clients can view, proof, share, and download gallery images, and SlickPic says it supports displaying photos on 8K screens. Listed plug-ins include Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Photoshop, and Photo Mechanic. The Lightroom Classic plug-in supports gallery uploads and management, client feedback syncing, and metadata transfers. Desktop software for Windows and macOS downloads albums to a local drive; MobiAlbums are web apps optimized for iOS and Android. SlickPic has provided gallery and website services since 2010. A free plan and 14-day trial are listed. Pro costs $16.95 a month, billed annually, and includes 200GB storage, unlimited albums and collections, a site builder, and full-resolution cloud storage.
