Handover.photo vs picdrop

Handover.photo is a web client gallery for commissioned photography and retouching work. It combines file intake, client proofing, image selection, payment and delivery in one workflow. Clients can mark favourites, choose images, approve a review round and attach correction notes to individual photos. Studios can present bank-transfer, PayPal and Bitcoin payment buttons, while clients pay the studio directly. Finished files are delivered through a signed download link that expires. The maker says server previews are reduced-resolution and watermarked, originals are not publicly reachable, and files are stored on European servers. Uploads support common image formats and camera RAW files, with a 50 MB limit per file. Correction rounds are unlimited. Free, Pro and Studio plans cost 0.00 EUR, €9/mo and €12/mo respectively. Their limits are one, 10 and unlimited active projects; storage is 2 GB, 250 GB and 500 GB. Studio adds custom logo and colors.

picdrop is a web service for photographers and teams to share shoots, gather client selections and feedback, and deliver final images. Clients can comment, annotate, like, flag, and vote on favorites. Presentation mode creates branded galleries for viewing and downloading delivered work. It supports RAW, TIFF, PSD, JPG, MP4, and other image and video formats, with a stated 25 GB per-file upload limit. Selections export for Lightroom and Capture One. Live Push sends camera images to a selected gallery over FTPS, with access restricted to that gallery. The service offers private links, public galleries, community features, advanced download controls, and a mobile web version. A separate smartphone app is unnecessary. The maker says photos are not used for AI training, hosting is in Germany, and the service is GDPR compliant. Plans include a free tier with 1 GB storage and three galleries, paid plans from €14.99/mo, and a 14-day trial.
