Pixelreel vs VidFlow
Both deliver wedding films. One charges you per gigabyte. One gives you unlimited portals for a flat monthly rate — with reviews, vendor notifications, and a cinematic theater built in.
VidFlow charges by the gigabyte. Pixelreel charges by the month.
Pixelreel works differently. Your Studio plan is $29/month flat — unlimited portals, unlimited couples, no storage math. You embed your Vimeo or YouTube link, and the experience is what you're paying for: a branded cinematic portal your couples remember.

Common Questions
Is Pixelreel cheaper than VidFlow?
For most studios, yes. Pixelreel Studio is $29/month with unlimited portals, while VidFlow sells storage in upload packs ($60–$475) that need repurchasing as you deliver more weddings.
Does Pixelreel have a Smart TV app like VidFlow?
Not currently. VidFlow's native Smart TV apps are a genuine advantage if that's central to your client experience.
Can I collect reviews through my delivery portal?
Yes — Pixelreel has built-in review collection with one-tap links to Google and The Knot, triggered at the moment couples watch their film. VidFlow does not offer this.
What happens to my portals if I cancel?
Pixelreel portals using YouTube or Vimeo embeds stay live regardless of subscription status. VidFlow galleries are tied to your active subscription and upload pack validity.
