A free Pic-Time alternative — galleries that don't expire
If you searched for a free Pic-Time alternative, the sticking point is usually the free plan: limited storage, and galleries that can be removed once they age out. That happens because the platform hosts your photos and has to reclaim the space. Gallumé works differently — it leaves your photos in the Google Drive folder you already use and wraps it in a polished, client-ready gallery. No re-uploading, no storage meter, and nothing to delete later.
Why storage-based free plans tighten over time
A single wedding gallery can run 500–800 photos. Platforms that store your images pay for every gigabyte, so free tiers shrink, and inactive galleries get removed to free up room. For a tool whose whole job is a link you send a client, a gallery quietly disappearing months later is the one thing you can't have. Galluméstores zero photo bytes — images load straight from Google's servers — so your galleries stay live and “unlimited photos, free” is just how it works.
Gallumé vs. a storage-based gallery platform
| Feature | Storage-based platform | Gallumé |
|---|---|---|
| Photos on the free plan | Capped (storage-limited) | Unlimited |
| Old / inactive galleries | May be auto-removed | Stay live |
| Where photos live | On their servers (re-upload) | Your Google Drive (no upload) |
| Password protection | Often a paid feature | Free, included |
| Client account required | Sometimes | Never |
| Built for | Print sales, slideshows, automation | Making your delivery link presentable |
Competitor plans and limits change over time — check their current pricing before deciding. The durable difference is structural: they price by storage, Gallumé stores nothing.
When Pic-Time is still the better choice
If you sell prints, run automated sales campaigns, or want polished client slideshows built in, a full platform like Pic-Time does far more than Gallumé. Galluméis deliberately narrow: it makes the Google Drive link you already send look like the professional work you delivered. If that's the job, you don't need to pay for storage you don't use.
